Generator installation in Hillsboro: local conditions
North Texas weather is tough on electrical systems: spring hail and tornado-season thunderstorms, summer heat that pushes air conditioners to their limits, and winter ice that brings down lines. Many homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s still have their original panels, and some have aluminum branch wiring, so panel replacements and wiring corrections are frequent jobs. We plan generator installation in Hillsboro with those conditions in mind.
Generator installation cost in Hillsboro
Generator installation cost in Hillsboro depends on the size of the generator, the transfer switch, the distance between the generator, the panel and the fuel source, whether gas line work is needed, and local permit requirements. Whole house units cost more than essential-circuit systems. We size the system to your loads and quote it as a complete installation.

Generator installation in Hillsboro: common questions
What size generator do I need for my Hillsboro home?
It depends on what you want to run. Central air conditioning is usually the largest load. We perform a load calculation and can size a generator for the whole house or for selected circuits.
Do you install Generac generators in Hillsboro?
Yes. We provide Generac installation in Hillsboro as well as electrical installation for other standby generator brands.
Does a standby generator run on natural gas or propane?
Either. Homes with natural gas service usually connect to it. Homes without it use a propane tank. The fuel supply has to be sized for the generator.
Can I plug a portable generator into my house?
Only through a transfer switch or interlock kit with a proper inlet. Backfeeding through an outlet is dangerous to you and to utility line workers. We install safe portable generator hookups in Hillsboro.
