"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.

"Donnie was a pleasure to work with on the phone. After describing what was required to install a Ring Floodlight, Donnie was able to provide a quote and time limit to perform the installation including some custom wiring. Jeff did the installation in the time frame quoted and the price was more reasonable than all other quotes received. I highly recommend them!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

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.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.
