When the grid goes down in a Texas summer — or another winter freeze — a standby generator keeps your AC, refrigerator, well pump, and medical equipment running automatically. Tell us about your home and we'll connect you with one local installation provider for a free quote.
Get My Free QuoteWinter Storm Uri in February 2021 left millions of Texans without power for days, and ERCOT grid alerts during summer heat waves have become a regular occurrence. Hays County sits in one of the fastest-growing corridors in Texas — thousands of new homes in Kyle and Buda are being built in neighborhoods where a multi-day outage means no air conditioning in 100-degree heat, spoiled food, and, for homes on well water or with sump systems, real property risk.
A permanently installed standby generator solves that differently than a portable unit: it is wired into your home's electrical panel, runs on natural gas or propane, starts itself within seconds of an outage, and shuts off when grid power returns — whether you're home or not.
No extension cords, no refueling in the dark. The generator senses the outage and starts on its own.
Right-sized systems (commonly 22–26kW for most homes) can run central AC plus your everyday circuits.
Hays County faces both summer grid strain and winter freeze risk. A standby unit covers both seasons.
One of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, with large new subdivisions and many homes on bigger lots suited to standby units.
Established neighborhoods and new master-planned communities alike, just south of Austin along I-35.
From historic homes near the square to newer builds toward the Blanco River, plus rural properties outside city limits.
