Standby Generator Installation in Temple, TX
A standby generator automatically restores power to your home or business within seconds of an outage. No extension cords. No manual startup. No waiting in the dark while your food spoils and your AC shuts off.

- On-site assessment and load calculation
- Generator sizing for your home or business
- Permit pulling and code compliance
- Automatic transfer switch installation
- Utility connections and gas line coordination
- Final load test and full system walkthrough
We are an authorized Generac dealer in Temple, TX. We also install Kohler generators and other major brands. Whether you need a 10kW unit for essential circuits or a 22kW whole house generator for complete backup power, we size it correctly and install it right the first time.
