Whole-Home Standby Generator Systems in Rockwall, TX

A standby generator is the gold standard of residential backup power. Unlike portable generators, a standby unit is permanently installed outside your home, connected to your natural gas line, and wired directly to your electrical system through an automatic transfer switch. When power goes out, it starts within seconds — no action required.

Signs You Need This Service

  • Power outages in your area last hours or days
  • Your home is in an area prone to ice storm or summer storm outages
  • You want true automatic backup without manual intervention
  • You have a two-story or larger home and need whole-home coverage
  • Medical equipment, HVAC, or well pump must stay running during outages

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a standby and a backup generator?
+
The terms are used interchangeably for permanently installed, automatic systems. A "portable generator" is the manual, wheeled unit. A "standby" or "backup" generator refers to the automatic, permanently installed system we install.
How often does a standby generator run on its own?
+
Most Generac and Kohler standby generators are programmed to automatically exercise (run for 5-10 minutes) once a week to keep the engine lubricated and verify the system is ready.
