Whole House Generator Installation: Power When You Need It Most

Experience Seamless Backup Power for Your Entire Home

When severe weather, grid failures, or unexpected blackouts strike, a whole house generator offers an automatic, reliable solution to keep your family safe, your systems running, and your life uninterrupted. At Blackmon Plumbing, we specialize in professional whole house generator installation for homeowners throughout Houston, The Woodlands, and surrounding areas—helping you maintain control, comfort, and security, no matter what the power company is doing.

Why Choose a Whole House Generator Over Portable Options

A whole home generator is permanently installed outside your house, just like a central air conditioning unit. It’s connected directly to your home’s electrical system and fueled by natural gas or propane. When a power outage occurs, it automatically turns on—powering everything from your HVAC and lighting to refrigerators, security systems, and medical devices.

Key advantages include:

Automatic power restoration within seconds
No refueling or manual setup required
Power for every essential system in your home
Increased home resale value and insurance advantages
Peace of mind during hurricanes, freezes, and blackouts

Our Proven Process for Generator Installation

At Blackmon Plumbing, we take a meticulous and customized approach to every installation project. Our process is built on decades of experience and a deep understanding of the unique electrical and climate challenges Texas homeowners face.

In-Home Power Assessment

Our licensed technicians will visit your home to assess your square footage, appliances, HVAC systems, and energy requirements. We’ll determine your total load demand and help you decide whether you need a generator that powers everything or just essential systems.

Generator Sizing and Selection

We carry a range of industry-leading brands and help you select the right size and type of generator—usually ranging between 14kW to 48kW—based on your usage, fuel availability, and budget. You’ll receive a clear breakdown of options, including air-cooled and liquid-cooled systems.

Permitting and Utility Coordination

Before installation, we’ll handle all local permits and coordinate with your gas provider or utility company to ensure your generator is properly connected and compliant with all Houston-area codes.

Professional Installation

Our team installs the generator on a leveled concrete or composite pad near your home’s electrical panel and gas meter. We connect it through a transfer switch that seamlessly reroutes power during an outage. The full process typically takes 1 to 3 days, depending on scope.

Final Testing and Training

After installation, we run a full system test and show you how to monitor your unit, run weekly self-tests, and schedule regular maintenance. You’ll never be left wondering what to do when the lights go out—we’ve got your back.

Ongoing Generator Maintenance Plans

To keep your investment in peak condition, we offer affordable maintenance packages that include:

Oil and filter changes
Battery inspection and replacement
Transfer switch testing
Voltage and frequency checks
Annual performance tune-ups

Regular service not only ensures reliable operation but also extends the lifespan of your generator by 5–10 years.
