"GenPro installed a Home Generator for us. Andrew Spitzmueller and his team were dependable and reliable. Did what they said they would do. When they encountered roadblocks with sub-contractors and permit inspectors, they worked diligently to resolve the situation. They are honest and trustworthy people. Highly recommend them."

"Ronnie, Pam, Cindy and crew were wonderful to work with.  There are several steps to the process, given potential permits needed and coordination of service dates with Center Point Energy.  They kept me informed and walked me through the process at each step. 
I got bids from three companies.  Storm Guardian's bid was the lowest and included the most features.  It included Mobile Link, which the other two did not even mention.  Being able to remotely monitor the generator and receive alerts on my IPhone and on-line when the generator turns on/off is great.  Almost as important to me, they came through on their promise of near turn key.  The other bids had me doing a lot of the leg work with Center Point.  With Storm Guardian, I only had to make two phone calls and be home half a day to authorize Center Point's replacement of the gas meter. 
I am very pleased with Storm Guardian and can recommend them without reservation.  Great work, great people.

"The electrician that came over was friendly, respectful and patient. After the new Door Ring camera was installed , he stayed there and helped me until the Door Ring camera in front of my house was perfectly matched to my home wi-fi and working on my cell phone as well. Great job! Iâ ll definitely will be using them again and I even received another quote from them for another install that Iâ ll have coming up soon."

"I rarely write reviews, but I am writing this review to express my utmost appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Mister Sparky during the challenging times of Hurricane Beryl. Their dedication to their customers is truly commendable. Jonatan P. surveyed and provided an estimated cost on the spot as well as wealth information about what to most cost-effective Interlock Switch to add to my circuit breaker. This happened the Friday before the hurricane and early next week in the mist of all the drop pour Mister Sparky team of two quick installed and provided a temporary cable from the circuit breaker to my portable generator. From the moment I reached out, their team was responsive, professional, and empathetic to the situation at hand. Despite the severe weather conditions, they were able to provide prompt and efficient service, ensuring our safety and comfort during a time of great need. Their technicians were not only skilled and knowledgeable, but also demonstrated a level of care and respect that was truly heartening to see. They took the time to explain the process, answer all our questions, and ensure we were comfortable with the solutions provided. Moreover, their commitment to following all safety protocols and guidelines was evident, providing us with peace of mind in an otherwise stressful situation. I cannot recommend Mister Sparky highly enough. Their exceptional service during Hurricane Beryl was a testament to their professionalism, customer-centric approach, and resilience. Thank you, Meghan, Jonatan, and Kevin, for going above and beyond!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

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. 

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.
