Expert Backup Generator Installation in Houston, TX
Houston homeowners know the grid can fail. CenterPoint's service territory has recorded some of the highest grid fault rates in the country, and hurricane season runs June through November with peak storm activity from August to October. When power drops, air conditioning, refrigeration, medical equipment, and security systems all go dark. Armadillo Home Services installs standby backup generators that start automatically the moment the grid fails. No manual setup. No scrambling in the dark. Our process covers a site assessment to find the right placement, load sizing to match your home's circuits, concrete pad preparation, transfer switch wiring, and fuel line connection by licensed technicians. Every installation meets Houston's electrical and mechanical code requirements, including the required clearances from windows, doors, and vents. If you have an HOA, we factor in their placement and noise rules before work begins. Call Armadillo Home Services to schedule your backup generator installation in Houston.

FAQ
Backup Generator Installation FAQ
Common questions about backup generator installation in Houston, TX.
Yes, Houston requires electrical and mechanical permits for residential standby generator installations. Inspections verify transfer switch wiring, fuel line connections, and clearances from your home's structure.
The generator must sit at least 5 feet from windows, doors, and air intake vents. This distance keeps exhaust fumes from entering your home's HVAC system.
Yes, a properly sized standby generator can run your central HVAC, refrigerator, lighting, and other circuits at the same time. The right output level depends on your home's total electrical load and panel setup.
Most Houston standby generators run on natural gas or propane for extended runtime without refueling. Natural gas connections require a licensed plumber as part of the installation.
HOA rules often restrict generator placement, noise levels, and screening requirements. Armadillo Home Services reviews those rules before installation to avoid costly relocations later.
Yes, we manage the site assessment, load sizing, concrete pad prep, transfer switch wiring, and fuel connection from start to finish. All work is performed by licensed technicians to meet Houston code.
