Expert Generator Installation in Houston, TX

Houston averages around 50 inches of rain each year and sits in a direct path for hurricanes and tropical storms. When the grid goes down, your air conditioning, refrigerator, medical equipment, and security systems go with it. Armadillo Home Services handles generator installation from start to finish for Houston homeowners who want a dependable backup power system. We start with a load assessment to match the right system to your home's actual power needs. From there, we handle site evaluation, concrete pad placement, transfer switch wiring, and fuel line connection. Houston requires electrical and mechanical permits for standby generator installations, and we manage that process as part of every job. Generators must sit at least five feet from windows, doors, and air intake vents to meet local code, and we position every unit to pass inspection. Once the system is in place, we test it fully before we leave. Call Armadillo Home Services to schedule your generator installation assessment in Houston.

Generator Installation FAQ

Common questions about generator installation in Houston, TX.

Yes, we manage every step in Houston, from the initial load assessment and site evaluation through transfer switch wiring, fuel line connection, and final system testing. You do not need to coordinate separate contractors for electrical and gas work.

The right size depends on your home's square footage, HVAC load, and which circuits you want covered during an outage. We perform a load calculation at your Houston property to recommend the correct output without oversizing or underpowering your system.

Yes, a properly sized standby generator can run your central HVAC system along with other essential circuits in your Houston home. We size each system based on your actual AC load so cooling stays on when you need it most.

Natural gas is the most practical choice for most Houston homes because it connects directly to your existing supply line and requires no refueling. Propane is an option for homes without natural gas access and requires a dedicated storage tank on the property.

Yes, annual service is the standard recommendation for standby generators in Houston. Houston's heat and humidity accelerate corrosion on electrical connections and battery terminals, so regular inspections catch developing issues before they cause a failure during an outage.

Yes, a standby generator detects a power loss and starts automatically, typically within seconds, without any action needed from you. When utility power returns, the system transfers back and the generator shuts off on its own.
