Generac Home Standby Generator FAQs

Tejas Electric is pleased to serve as an authorized dealer for Generac home backup generators. Generac’s residential systems are celebrated as the best in the nation, and we exclusively install their products. Below, we have addressed some common questions about Generac whole-house backup generators.

1. What Is an Automatic Residential Generator?

An automatic backup generator strengthens your electrical infrastructure. During a power outage, it initiates operation within seconds without the need for manual activation. This generator utilizes natural gas or propane and is installed outside your home, akin to a central AC unit.

2. What Is the Difference Between Automatic and Portable Generators?

A portable generator requires manual operation; you must refuel it and position it appropriately, as well as turn it on and off yourself. In contrast, an automatic home generator quickly identifies a power outage and activates itself. It also deactivates automatically when the electricity supply is restored. Automatic generators are generally more economical to operate, do not require refueling or transportation, and are considered a safer choice according to the American Red Cross.

3. What Is Generac?

Generac has established itself as a leading name in the backup generator industry since its inception in 1959. Renowned for their home generator solutions, they are the brand of choice for Strada Electric, Security, Air Conditioning & Heating, which relies exclusively on Generac for its commitment to quality and dependability.

4. Can an Automatic Generator Replace Utility Service?

No. While it serves as a useful backup option, relying on it full-time is not economically practical.

5. How Do I Get the Right Size Home Generator?

To guarantee optimal performance, obtaining a complimentary home assessment is highly recommended. Skilled professionals can discuss your key systems and requirements. Whether you need specific lights activated or prefer full house power, an expert will assist you in determining the appropriate size for your space and energy demands.

6. Do Home Generators Need Maintenance?

Backup generators, like all vital home systems, need periodic maintenance for oil and filter replacements. To ensure your system operates effectively, you may want to set up an annual maintenance schedule with your installer.

7. What Happens If My Backup Generator Overloads?

Generac home generators include overload protection, leading to a tripped circuit breaker. All you need to do is fix the overload and reset the breaker.

8. Who Should I Call If I Need Help With My Generator?

Tejas Electric will assist you. Call our team at (512) 858-7689, or contact us online. We can also guide you with oil, battery and other system queries.

They were fast and did exceptional work. Cleaned up after themselves and took great care to have a clean and organized workspace. We look forward to doing business with them again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Baylee and his partner arrived on time and worked extremely quickly to rewire an outlet and light switch, move a Nest smoke-detector and remove wire from an old security system and doorbell. The space is cleaner than when they arrived and everything looks great. I have used Tejas Electric multiple times and will continue to call them for electrical needs. They are great from scheduling to finished product: professional, friendly, expert level.
