Keep the Lights on with an In-Home Generator
Anyone living in East Texas during the winter of 2021 won’t soon forget the storm that knocked out power for most of the region for 7 to 10 days. Some areas didn’t have power for weeks.
Since then, thousands of East Texans have considered alternate ways to power their homes, from solar panels to full-house generators.
A full-house generator is an excellent electrical backup from your home and can run:
The lights, stove, refrigerator, and essential appliances
Medical equipment
Heating and air conditioning systems
And more

Common Questions About Generator Installation in Tyler, TX
How do I know what size generator I need before installation?
The right size depends on your home’s electrical demand and which systems you want to keep running during an outage. Before generator installation, we’ll evaluate your appliances, HVAC system, lighting, and other priorities to recommend the right unit.
Will my generator turn on automatically during an outage?
Most whole-home generators use an automatic transfer switch. Once generator installation is complete, the system can detect a power loss, start the generator, and transfer your home to backup power without requiring manual startup.
What fuel options are available for generator installation?
Whole-home generators commonly operate on natural gas or propane. The best option depends on what’s available at your property, your expected power needs, and how long you want the generator to run during an outage.
How often should a whole-home generator be serviced?
Routine maintenance helps ensure your generator is ready when you need it. Service schedules vary by manufacturer and usage, but most systems should be inspected regularly and checked after extended operation or a major outage.
Can generator installation provide power to my entire home?
A properly sized system may be able to power most or all of your home. The amount of coverage depends on the generator’s capacity, your electrical system, and which appliances you plan to use at the same time.

Preparing to Install a Generator
A generator is an expensive–and potentially dangerous–piece of equipment. An experienced electrician should install it. Prior to installation, an area needs to be set aside and prepared for the generator.
Choose a Location
Choosing the right location is important. The area should:
- Be stable & drain well
- Have room for maintenance & installation personnel
- Consider any HOA rules you must abide by
You should keep these clearances in mind as well:
- Keep the generator at least 18 inches away from the home
- 60 inches away from any doors, windows, or air intakes
- Keep 36 inches in front of the generator for access & servicing
Site Preparation
You'll never need to do any site prep for your generator. We provide a pad that the generator will sit on.
Installation
