Generator installation in Kingwood
Kingwood is in northeast Houston near Lake Houston. It is known as the Livable Forest, with tall pines, greenbelt trails and villages like Elm Grove, Kings Forest, Bear Branch and Trailwood. The City of Houston annexed Kingwood in 1996.
The pines that shade Kingwood also fall on power lines during storms. Outages after big storms can last for days while crews clear trees. A standby generator keeps the AC, fridge and lights on in the meantime.
Because Kingwood is part of Houston, a generator needs a City of Houston electrical permit and plumbing permit, plus pad, site and gas inspections. Village associations may also review exterior changes. We handle the permits and the drawing.
Parts of Kingwood flooded in Hurricane Harvey in 2017, and Elm Grove flooded again in 2019. For homes near the San Jacinto River or local creeks, we set the pad as high as we can and keep the switch above expected water.
