Aaron’s Electrical Service can set you up with generator installation in Houston and the surrounding areas. We install a variety of whole-home generators and commercial standby generators as well as interlock kits for easy operation of portable generators.
In places like Houston, generators have become very popular in recent years. They can save a life, keep a business up and running, or simply provide comfort during a prolonged outage. Aaron’s Electrical Service offers emergency service for standby and commercial generators.
Benefits of a Standby Generator
Do you need something bigger and more permanent than a plug-in portable generator? A full standby generator is an appliance installed alongside your main electrical service. Benefits of a standby generator in Houston include:

- More powerful than a portable generator
- Maintains comfort during heat waves, winter storms & hurricanes
- Simple to maintain and refuel
- Power refrigerator, cooking equipment, medical devices, and more

Dependable Commercial Generator Installation
Generators provide peace of mind, safety, and assurance that your business keeps running when disasters strike. A generator can avoid downtime due that can cost you money and customers.
Besides lights and air conditioning, your business relies on power for the security system, internet, point of sales, and other critical devices. Talk to our team about your power needs, and we’ll help you select a unit with the proper amount of wattage. Then, your Houston electrician will install the generator with an automatic transfer switch at the service panel so you have immediate power during a blackout.

If you own a portable generator, ask us to install a transfer switch or interlock kit. These devices let you safely connect the generator power to your panel. Without one, you could damage:

Generator FAQs
How big of a generator do I need to run a house?
The answer is — it depends. When sizing a generator, it’s essential to consider what you want to be able to run during an outage, budget for installation, and budget for operation. We get into the specifics in this article.
Are whole-house generators worth it?
A whole-house generator is an excellent investment for peace of mind, safety, and security in any disaster, accident, or incident. If you’ve ever found yourself suffering through a night without HVAC or lights or worried about your safety because of an outage, you’ll appreciate what a whole-house generator can offer.
Can you plug a generator into a wall socket?
This is known as back feeding, and while it’s physically possible, it’s a good way to kill someone or destroy something expensive. It’s frequently illegal because an electrical company technician working to get the power back on might be exposed to a live feed from your generator when they expect to be working on a deadline.
