Generator installation in Katy, TX
Katy is west of Houston, and many homes sit in master-planned communities like Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch and Seven Meadows. Large two-story homes with big AC systems are the norm, and a long outage in summer is hard to live through.
After storms like Hurricane Beryl in 2024, many Katy owners went days without power. A standby generator starts by itself and keeps the AC, fridge and lights running. In Katy, a whole-home unit of 18 to 24 kW is common because of larger homes and two AC systems.
Most communities have HOA rules about where a generator can sit. The pad also has to be set back from windows and doors, and above flood height. We handle the drawings, the electrical and gas permits, and the gas line. Natural gas meters sometimes need an upgrade by the gas utility.
Katy has flat land and plenty of room for a pad, and long wire runs from the panel are common. That is why our price includes a gas and wire run line item when the pad is far from the meter. We also offer a Generator Care plan to service the unit yearly.
