The Houston Guide to Generators & Backup Power
Finding the Right Size for Your Houston Facility
Sizing isn't just about square footage—it's about the "Peak Load." We evaluate your high-draw appliances like central AC units, pumps, and refrigerators to ensure your kW rating provides a safe margin of power.
Most suburban Houston homes find the sweet spot between 22kW and 26kW for whole-house standby comfort.
Reliable Fuel Sources: Natural Gas vs. Propane
Houston's infrastructure makes natural gas a top choice for infinite fuel during long-term grid failures. Liquid propane offers high energy density for rural properties or those requiring dedicated tanks.
We coordinate with local utility providers to ensure your line pressure is sufficient for your new backup power system.
Safe Power Restoration: The Role of the Transfer Switch
The transfer switch is the most critical safety component of your backup system. An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) detects the power loss, isolates your home from the utility grid, and starts your generator in seconds. This prevents dangerous "backfeeding," which protects utility workers and prevents electrical fires in your home.

Generator & Back-up Power FAQ
Will a backup power system run my central AC?
Absolutely. When sized correctly, our standby systems power high-tonnage AC units effortlessly. We often recommend "Soft Start" kits to reduce initial load strain.
How fast does back-up power kick in?
With an Automatic Transfer Switch, your power is typically restored within 10 to 30 seconds of the utility grid failing.
Do you offer backup power for commercial facilities?
Yes. We install high-kW Generac and Gillette commercial generators specifically designed for three-phase power and heavy industrial loads.
