Backup Generator

Backup Generator Solutions for Reliable Whole Home Power

When the power grid fails, your home shouldn’t. At Blackmon Plumbing, we provide professionally installed backup generator systems that ensure your home stays powered through outages, storms, and emergencies. As an authorized Generac dealer, we exclusively install whole house backup generators that deliver seamless, automatic energy when you need it most.

We proudly serve homeowners throughout Houston, including North Houston, The Woodlands, Baytown, and surrounding communities—bringing dependable power protection directly to your doorstep.

What Is a Backup Generator and Why Does It Matter?

A backup generator, also called a standby generator, is a permanently installed system that automatically activates when your home loses power. Unlike portable units, a backup generator connects directly to your home’s electrical panel and runs on your existing natural gas or propane supply. There’s no need to refuel or flip a switch—it kicks on within seconds and keeps your lights, HVAC, appliances, and security systems running without interruption.

When unpredictable Texas weather causes blackouts, a backup generator isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Generac: The Trusted Leader in Home Backup Power

We exclusively install Generac backup generators because they offer industry-leading performance, efficiency, and reliability. Generac is the #1 name in residential standby power, and for good reason:

Automatic power restoration within seconds of an outage

Quiet operation and compact, low-profile design

Mobile Link™ remote monitoring from any device

Seamless integration with your home’s fuel and power systems

True whole-home coverage, not just critical circuits

Our customers trust Generac to deliver dependable performance, and our certified installation ensures every system operates safely and efficiently.

Inventory On-Hand—No Waiting Weeks

Unlike big box stores or national companies, we stock Generac backup generators at our Baytown facility. That means faster turnaround times, local inventory, and same-week installation availability in many cases.

Our clients in The Woodlands, Spring, Humble, and surrounding areas never have to wait on long shipping delays. We’re prepared, stocked, and ready to keep your home protected today.

Our Expert Backup Generator Installation Process

Installing a backup generator is more than just setting a unit outside your home. It’s a precise process that requires technical expertise, careful planning, and compliance with local codes. At Blackmon Plumbing, we manage the project from start to finish.

In-Home Consultation & Power Needs Assessment

We begin by evaluating your home’s power demands. Whether you need full coverage or want to prioritize essentials like HVAC, refrigeration, and security systems, we help select the right generator size and configuration.

Professional Installation by Licensed Technicians

Our factory-trained technicians pour the concrete pad (if needed), place the generator, and connect it safely to your home’s electrical and fuel systems. We take care of everything, including load balancing and safety testing.

Permit Filing & Utility Coordination

We handle all permitting and communication with local utility providers. Our team ensures your system meets code and is ready for seamless integration with your home’s gas and electrical lines.

System Testing & Homeowner Training

Before we leave, we test the full system to verify performance and reliability. We also walk you through the operation, settings, and maintenance schedule to ensure long-term peace of mind.
