Generator Installation in Dallas, TX
Transfer switch and standby generator hookups for reliable backup power through Texas storm season and grid strain. Priority dispatch covers Dallas and the surrounding North Texas metro around the clock, with routine scheduling available for non-urgent work.
Generator Installation for Dallas Properties
North Texas is no stranger to severe spring thunderstorms and the occasional winter ice event, both of which are recurring causes of outages and surge damage across Dallas neighborhoods. Texas summers strain the grid and Texas storms take it down — a pattern that's pushed a lot of homeowners from "we should probably get a generator someday" to actually scheduling the install after losing a freezer full of food or going without AC for two days.
Coverage extends across Dallas, including Uptown and Oak Lawn, and the surrounding area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover the whole Dallas metro or just the city core?
Coverage extends across Dallas and into the surrounding North Texas metro — call to confirm coverage for a specific address if you're near the edge of the service area.
Are you used to older Dallas homes with original 1960s-70s panels?
Yes — undersized original panels and aging wiring in Dallas's older housing stock are a routine part of the work here.
Do storm-related outages get priority in Dallas during spring storm season?
Yes — surge damage and outages tied to active severe weather are treated as priority calls, the same as any other electrical emergency.
Do you handle electrical work for new infill construction in Dallas neighborhoods?
Yes — new-build wiring in Dallas's infill and remodel projects is handled alongside service work on older homes.
Do I need a transfer switch if I already have a portable generator?
Yes — running a portable generator without a transfer switch (via extension cords through a window, for example) is both a safety risk and can back-feed the utility line, endangering utility workers. An inlet and transfer switch make it safe.
What size generator do I need?
That depends on which circuits need to stay powered — just refrigeration and lights, or the whole home including AC. A load evaluation determines the right size before anything is purchased.
Does a generator hookup affect my electrical panel?
It can — some setups need a subpanel or panel capacity check to integrate cleanly. That gets evaluated as part of the installation, not assumed.
