"Great company. Honest. Knowledgeable. Very experienced. Fair prices. Exceptional customer service. Zero BS. Dryer wasn’t heating. Dryer repair tech diagnosed 90V coming from an outlet that should’ve been 220V. Thor Enterprises came out that same day and replaced the faulty breaker. Our house was built in 1978 and has the same breaker box. Danny said it was still in working order and didn’t need to be replaced altogether. Most other companies would’ve wanted to switch the whole thing out for a bigger pay day. You can trust Thor Enterprises to do the job right. Highly recommend."

Logo Electrical Services, Inc. is a family owned and operated electrical service and repair company with over 40 years of dedication to the residential and business community. We provide electrical repair in Houston and surrounding areas. We are fully staffed with licensed Houston electricians. Our name and reputation has been built by our dedication to give honest and quality repairs at competitive prices. We specialize in electrical service and repairs at your home or office. Charge for after-hours service. May contact through email. Additional contact: Mark Loguercio at (281) 440-3300. Additional: All major credit cards.

"I recently bought a house in Magnolia, TX, and the electrical work was a mess. As the daughter of an architect, I know when something doesn’t look right, and the spaghetti-like wiring was a big red flag even before we bought the house. We knew it would need some serious work, so I called the first big company for an inspection, and they didn’t pass with flying colors. They seemed more focused on charging high prices than actually making my home safe, and I wasn’t confident they fully understood what they were doing. That’s when I called Mark at Logo Electrical. After walking the property and asking him a ton of questions, it was clear that Mark was the professional we were looking for. He was on time, professional, and most importantly, 100% knowledgeable about electricity. The house needed a lot of investigation (which Mark didn’t charge me for, even though he definitely should have!) to figure out what was even in place before we could plan the repairs. He identified issues I hadn’t noticed and really went above and beyond to make sure everything was addressed. What I really appreciated was Mark’s approach. He didn’t just care about getting the job done within my budget—he genuinely cared about what would make the house safe and functional now, and what I’d need in the future. He even took the time to figure out how we could get everything done in stages, so it wouldn’t break the bank. The shed ended up needing more work than we thought, but Mark stuck to the original quote and never tried to charge me more. He gave me things to think about without ever making me feel pressured. It’s clear Mark treats his clients like family and takes pride in doing the job right. This is why you go with a local company with a lifetime of electrical experience. He knows his stuff when it comes to electricity, and I trusted him with my house. I’m so glad I did. Highly recommend Logo Electrical!"

Generator Power Systems, LLC, an affiliate of Fish Electric, services the Greater Houston area and surrounding communities. We provide total turnkey solutions and installations for standby power generators. We are licensed electrical contractors in the State of Texas,#26890. Jim Fish, Master Electrican #2969 is owner with Yvonne Fish. They both are active owners and are generally at the office everyday. We are fully insured for your protection as well as ours. All of our electricians are licensed with the state of Texas as well. All electricians and service technicians are certified by Generac, a leading manufacturer of standby generators. We are also a Kohler Master dealer with trained service technicians as well.

"I am proud to say that I highly recommend Generator Power Systems (GPS) & Fish Electric, Inc. for any work of this type you may have. I probably could of sub-contracted this work but sure glad I didn’t. My electrician and plumbing contractors advised me to use a contractor who specifies in this type of work turn-key. I high expectations for the products & services I buy. I learned long ago that low-bid usually comes with low expectations and inferior results. All projects will have problems along the way regardless. The way these problems are handled separates the good from the bad in a hurry. More times than not you never see the low-bid people again and find yourself starting over. I obtained 3 quotes. GPS gave a complete quote package and all the technical information I requested, including consulting with Kohler in regards to any unique details of the install. Mike Bell was my consultant. No hard sell – let their reputation and product speak. Very knowledgeable. On-site consultation. All very smooth. One price, all-inclusive, true turn-key. The problems I had with the other quotes were them not providing information I requested. One told me I could google the generator for myself. They wanted me to facetime them, walk around my place videoing everything, and measuring as I went. Neither knew what turn-key means. “Tax, Permits Extra, TBD.” “Gas Meter upgrade not included.” What else may there have been? GPS was not the lowest quote, but I bet by the end of the job they are. They have a close trusted relationship with CenterPoint, both gas & electrical delivery. This is very important on both sides and can add weeks to the process if one is not familiar with the technical and legal requirements. GPS consulted with City Permits and the inspector, getting Kohler involved to make sure all were on the same page long before the work was even scheduled. Jose Guandique and crew were our electrician and besides being knowledgeable & confident in their work, they met the inspector (very particular and thorough in his own right) on-site and looked at every wire one-by-one until the inspector was satisfied. The working relationship with CenterPoint and local inspectors is very important. They have to turn your power off during the install of the transfer switch and panels, get an inspection, and get CenterPoint to reconnect your power. We were only down about an hour. Without a smooth transition with these entities you could be out of luck until things are resolved. Shannon kept me aware of every step and scheduling details. The first crew (Rick) came in and poured a concrete pad (they don’t use flimsy throw-down composite pads) and hand-dug the trench which was very hard work in out hard ground and was done in a workman-like manner. Like all their people that came out, the plumbing crew were on-time & left a clean location. They completed their gas line work and passed inspections without incident. The next step was coordinating with CenterPoint Gas to upgrade the gas meter. This can leave you with gas service for bit but GPS made sure everything was ready and went without a hitch. With all the work complete Chris Rodriguez came out and certified (tested) the system and gave us a little class on how to operate it. Actually, there is very little to do but there’s a few things you need to know and mainly stuff NOT to do. We have opted for the full-service contract and monitoring so things get taken care of even during a big storm event. When I spend my money, I want to enjoy the process. It’s cathartic for me. I truly appreciate watching fine “neat & workmanlike manner” happening in front of me. All-in-all, Generator Power Systems (GPS) & Fish Electric, Inc. provide high-quality equipment and service. Period. Robert Haas, Richmond Fort Bend County Texas U.S.A."

"This contractor is unprofessional in fulfilling their commitments. Signed contract on December 5, 2024. Still waiting for it to be online as of August 14. They have said their master electrician and plumber would review plan and submit for permit. That process wasn?t completed until April, 2025. Note the City approved their application in two days! Next, they started to place the forms for the slab but I informed them the slab was being placed in violation of the plat set back line. Stopped work and it then took them another 4 weeks to fix that even though they only had to move the form 2 feet!!! Received message the generator was shipped to them in May and they would schedule installation in June. Well that didn?t happen and they showed up in July. Electrician did his work in a day. Plumber who was to install gas line informed me after he dug up yard he didn?t have pipe. 4 weeks of grass dying in backyard. Hope to get generator by September. Stay away from this company"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.
