Backup Generator Systems for Rockwall Homes

A backup generator gives you the peace of mind that when the Texas grid fails — during summer heat, winter ice events, or severe storms — your home keeps running. Paramount Electric installs automatic backup generator systems from Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton throughout Rockwall County.

Unlike a portable generator that you have to drag out, fuel, and manually connect, a standby backup generator is permanently installed, automatically tested weekly, and starts within 10-30 seconds of a power outage — without any action from you.

Signs You Need This Service

  • Texas power outages have disrupted your family's comfort or safety
  • You or a family member relies on medical equipment requiring continuous power
  • Your home has a well pump, sump pump, or other critical system that needs power
  • You want to protect your HVAC and refrigeration during extended outages
  • You're tired of dealing with portable generators and extension cords
  • A neighbor's generator installation motivated you to get your own

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What brands of backup generators do you install?
+
We install Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton standby generators — the three most reliable brands in the residential backup power market.
How does an automatic backup generator know when the power goes out?
+
The automatic transfer switch monitors your utility voltage continuously. When it detects an outage, it disconnects your home from the grid and starts the generator within 10-30 seconds.
Do backup generators run on natural gas or propane?
+
Most residential standby generators run on natural gas (connected to your home's existing gas line) or propane. We coordinate the gas line work with a licensed plumber as part of the overall project.
