Whole-Home Generator Installation in Houston

Hurricanes, freezes, grid strain — Houston loses power, and you don't have to. Here's our edge: a standby generator needs an electrician for the transfer switch and a plumber for the gas line. We're licensed for both, so one crew handles the entire job.

The Two-Trade Job Most Companies Split

Most generator installs involve two or three subcontractors: an electrician for the transfer switch, a plumber for the gas line, sometimes a third crew for the pad. Every handoff adds cost, delay, and finger-pointing when something's off. TexPro Systems holds both a Texas Electrical Contractor License and a Responsible Master Plumber license — the gas line, the transfer switch, the wiring, and the startup are all ours. One price, one schedule, one company accountable for all of it.

What a complete installation includes

  • Load calculation and generator sizing (14kW–26kW+ residential systems)
  • Concrete or composite pad placement per manufacturer clearances
  • Automatic transfer switch installation and panel integration
  • Natural gas or propane line — properly sized for the generator's demand at full load, which is the most common failure point in split-crew installs
  • Electrical and plumbing permits, plus both inspections
  • Startup, exercise-cycle programming, and a full walkthrough

Sized for how you actually live

A generator that's too small drops out under AC load in August. One that's too big wastes thousands. We calculate what your home actually draws — AC tonnage, water heater type, well pump if you have one — and recommend whole-home coverage or a managed-load setup that protects what matters at a lower price point.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a whole-home generator cost installed in Houston?

Complete installations typically run $12,000–$20,000+ depending on generator size, gas line length, and electrical complexity. Managed-load systems covering essentials start lower. We quote the complete job — equipment, gas, electrical, permits — in one written price.

Natural gas or propane?

If you have natural gas service, that's almost always the answer — no tank to refill during an extended outage. We verify your meter and line capacity can support the generator's demand, and upgrade the line if needed (we're licensed to do that part too).

How long does installation take?

Once equipment is on site, most installs are completed in 1–3 days including inspections. Lead times on popular generator sizes vary through the year — before hurricane season is the smart time to order.

Do you service generators after installation?

Yes — annual maintenance, repairs, and warranty coordination. A standby generator needs oil changes and inspection like any engine, and regular service keeps the manufacturer warranty valid.
