Understanding Home Generators: What's Right for You?
Choosing the right generator for your home in Austin can feel like a big decision, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Our goal is to provide clear information to help you understand the options. We want you to feel confident that you are selecting the best solution for your family’s safety.
▶️ The most comprehensive solution is a standby generator, also known as a whole-house generator. These units are permanently installed outside your home and connect directly to your electrical system. When an outage occurs, they automatically turn on, restoring power to your entire home in seconds.
▶️ Another option homeowners consider is a portable generator. While useful in some situations, these smaller units must be manually started and can only power a few appliances at a time using extension cords. For seamless, hands-free protection of your entire home, a standby generator is the superior choice.
Standby generators typically run on natural gas or propane, drawing from your home's existing supply so you don't have to worry about refueling. During our consultation, we will help you determine the most convenient and cost-effective fuel source for your property and needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my generator need to meet any Austin-specific codes?
Yes, all standby generator installations locally are subject to strict local and national codes designed to ensure safety. These regulations are not just guidelines; they are legal requirements we follow meticulously. They dictate the generator's exact placement, requiring specific clearances from windows, doors, and vents to prevent any risk of carbon monoxide entering your home. Codes also cover noise ordinances to respect your neighbors, as well as all electrical wiring and fuel line connections to prevent fire hazards. As licensed professionals, we are fully versed in Austin's requirements and manage all aspects of compliance on your behalf.
Can I install a generator without a permit?
In Austin, a permit is required for installing a standby generator because it involves significant electrical and often gas line modifications. Attempting an installation without a permit can lead to serious safety risks, city-imposed fines, and potential issues with your homeowner's insurance coverage. The permit process ensures a city inspector verifies that the work has been completed safely and to code. We handle the entire permitting process for our clients, from application to final inspection, ensuring your installation is fully compliant, safe, and properly documented for your home's records.
