Stay On When the Grid Goes Off

San Antonio loses power. Ice storms, summer heat, grid strain. The reasons change, but the result is the same. A whole home generator keeps the lights on, the AC running, the refrigerator cold, and the house functioning until utility power returns.
 

Generator placement matters too. The unit needs proper clearance and access while accounting for drainage, existing landscaping, and how you use the space around your home. That's where being an outdoor living company gives us a different perspective on the installation.

On When It Counts

Home Generator Installation for South Texas Yards.

We assess your home's electrical load and what you want backed up before recommending a generator. The goal is enough capacity to comfortably handle what you need without paying for more generator than your home requires.

System Evaluation and Sizing

We coordinate the generator, transfer switch, electrical connection, natural gas or propane hookup, and required permitting and inspections. You'll know what's included before installation begins.

Fuel Installation

Generator installation requires permits and inspections. We handle all permitting coordination and schedule inspections as part of the project so nothing is left for you to manage.

Permits and Inspections

Two years of complimentary maintenance are included with every installation. Regular service and testing help make sure the generator is ready after months of sitting quietly between outages.

Two Years of Complimentary Maintenance

We coordinate placement and installation with the rest of the outdoor scope so the unit is properly positioned and the yard is protected during the build. No juggling a separate generator contractor alongside the landscape crew.

How does a whole home generator work?
A whole home generator connects to your home's electrical system and runs on natural gas or propane. When the power goes out, the generator detects the outage and starts automatically, usually within seconds. You don't have to do anything. The generator runs until utility power is restored, then shuts off automatically.

Frequently
Asked Questions

What size generator do I need? It depends on the square footage of your home, how many systems you want to power, and your electrical load. We assess this during the consultation and recommend the right size for your specific home. Oversizing costs more than necessary. Undersizing means the system can't carry the load. We size it correctly.
