Generac Generator Installation in Leander, TX

Central Texas loses power in two seasons: the summer, when the grid is stretched and a thunderstorm takes out a feeder, and the winter, when an ice event takes out everything. Both are the wrong time to find out your refrigerator, well pump, or medical equipment has no backup.

A Generac home standby generator sits outside like an air-conditioning condenser, runs on natural gas or propane, and switches your house over automatically within seconds of an outage. You do not go outside, you do not pull a cord, and you do not run extension cords through a window. JTX Electrical sells the unit, installs it, wires the transfer switch, and offers a maintenance program so it is ready the next time the lights go out.

What a JTX generator installation includes

• A site visit before a number. Generator sizing is a load calculation, not a guess from the square footage. We look at what you actually need to keep running, how your panel is arranged, where the gas line is, and where the unit can sit. Then we quote.
• The generator and the transfer switch. We supply the Generac unit and install the automatic transfer switch that moves your home or business from utility power to generator power and back again without you touching anything.
• Whole-home or essential-circuits coverage. Some customers want everything backed up. Others want the well, the HVAC, the refrigerator and the lights. We wire it either way and tell you the tradeoffs up front.
• The electrical connection, done to code. Conduit, wire, disconnects, bonding and the panel work are handled by licensed JTX electricians under TECL #37015, with permits and inspections as part of the job.
• Gas coordination. We coordinate the natural gas or propane connection with your gas supplier or plumber so the unit is fueled and tested before we leave.
• Startup and walkthrough. We run the unit under load, set the weekly self-test, and show you what the display means, what the alerts mean, and who to call.

Why Leander homeowners buy their Generac from JTX

• One company for the sale, the install and the service. You are not buying a box from a big-box store and then hunting for an electrician who will touch it. JTX handles the whole job and stands behind it.
• Licensed electricians, not a generator crew. A standby generator is a permanent electrical installation tied into your service panel. Ours are installed by licensed electricians under TECL #37015 and we are insured.
• A maintenance program that keeps it ready. A generator that has sat untouched for two years is a generator that may not start. Our maintenance program covers oil, filters, battery, and a load test on a schedule so the unit is ready when the grid is not.
• Commercial and industrial backup, too. We install standby power for businesses, clinics, shops and industrial sites, where an outage costs more than a warm refrigerator.
