Dallas: lose the grid, keep the whole house on

What a whole-house generator does

A standby generator in Dallas is the set-it-and-forget-it answer to long outages. It senses the failure and starts without you. An automatic transfer switch is the brain of the system. It senses the outage, isolates your house from the grid, and starts the generator for you.

These are permanent Generac standby units, not portables, matched to the loads you want covered.

What stays on during an outage

• Protection: medical equipment and sump pumps keep working.
• Heating and cooling: furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning.
• Food and chores: refrigerator, freezer, range, and washer.
• Lights and electronics: lighting, TVs, computers, and the home office.

Generator size and panel capacity decide what can run together. We sort that out with you at the free quote.

Natural gas or propane

Around Dallas, you have two fuel choices: natural gas or propane. A home already on natural gas can connect the generator directly to the line. No gas line? Propane from a tank installed for the generator works anywhere.

Either fuel gives you a permanent system with no manual starting.

Permanent or portable power

If you live in Dallas, portable units need you to set them up in the dark and the rain. A standby generator is permanent and takes over automatically.

Whole-home coverage is what a standby generator is built for, and we size it so the circuits you care about in Dallas stay on together.

Before anything is ordered, we agree with you on where it goes, what it runs on, and how big it is.

From quote to standby power

Installing a standby generator in Dallas takes four steps, from a free consultation through permit and install to activation.

1. Consultation and design: we plan the size and placement together.
2. Permitting and paperwork: we pull the Oregon permit.
3. Installation: fuel line or propane tank, transfer switch, and wiring.
4. Activation and support: we commission it and stay available after the job.

A backup generator needs a permit in Oregon, and we pull it for you.

Because we are licensed electricians, the transfer switch, the wiring, and the panel review all stay with one team.

Natural gas and propane generators both work, and we help you choose the one that fits your home. A home battery needs no fuel; a generator runs as long as it has fuel.
