From Assessment to Automatic Power

First, we evaluate your Argyle home’s power needs and determine the right generator size. A typical 2,000 square foot home needs a 20-24 kW unit to power essential systems like HVAC, refrigeration, and lighting.

Finally, we test everything thoroughly. Your generator goes through multiple startup cycles to ensure it activates properly during real outages. We walk you through the system operation and schedule ongoing maintenance to keep it reliable for years.

Complete Installation Service Included

Your generator installation in Argyle, TX includes everything needed for automatic backup power. We provide site assessment, proper sizing, electrical panel connections, natural gas line installation, and permit handling.

Argyle’s location in Denton County means you face the same weather challenges as the rest of North Texas – severe storms, extreme heat, and occasional ice storms. Your generator installation accounts for these local conditions with proper weatherproofing and ventilation.

We use trusted generator brands designed for Texas climates and connect them to your existing natural gas supply for continuous fuel availability. No refueling required, no storing gasoline, no manual startup procedures.

The investment typically ranges from $7,000 to $15,000 depending on your home’s power requirements, but it pays for itself by preventing appliance damage, food spoilage, and the inconvenience of extended outages.

Most residential generator installations in Argyle take 1-2 days to complete. The timeline depends on your home’s existing electrical setup and whether we need to install a new gas line. Day one typically involves site preparation, setting the generator pad, and running electrical connections to your panel. Day two covers gas line connections, final electrical work, and comprehensive testing. We handle all permit applications with the City of Argyle beforehand to avoid delays. If your home already has a suitable gas line nearby and your electrical panel can accommodate the transfer switch, we can often complete the installation in a single day. More complex installations requiring panel upgrades or extended gas line runs may take an additional day.
Generator sizing depends on your home’s essential power needs, not just square footage. We calculate the wattage required for your HVAC system, refrigerator, lighting, and other critical appliances to determine the right capacity. Most Argyle homes between 1,500-2,500 square feet need a 20-24 kW generator for whole-house coverage. Larger homes with multiple HVAC zones or extensive electrical demands may require 30 kW or higher units. During our site assessment, we review your electrical panel and discuss which systems you want powered during outages. Some homeowners prioritize essentials like HVAC, refrigeration, and lighting, while others want complete home coverage including pools, hot tubs, and workshop equipment. We size the generator accordingly and provide transparent pricing for each option.
Yes, properly installed generators operate reliably during Texas weather extremes, including the severe storms and occasional ice events that affect Argyle. We install units designed specifically for outdoor operation in harsh climates. Your generator includes weatherproof housing that protects internal components from rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations. The unit automatically performs self-tests weekly to ensure readiness, and modern generators include cold-weather starting systems for reliable operation even during rare freezing events. During installation, we position the generator to minimize exposure to prevailing winds and ensure proper drainage around the unit. The natural gas fuel supply remains consistent regardless of weather conditions, unlike portable generators that require gasoline refueling during storms when gas stations may be closed or without power.
Generator installation costs in Argyle typically range from $7,000 to $15,000 for most residential applications. The final price depends on generator size, installation complexity, and any necessary electrical upgrades. A 20 kW generator suitable for a typical Argyle home costs around $8,000-$12,000 installed, including the transfer switch, electrical connections, and gas line work. Larger units or homes requiring electrical panel upgrades will be toward the higher end of the range. We provide detailed written estimates that break down equipment costs, labor, permits, and any additional work needed. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges after installation. Many homeowners find the investment pays for itself quickly by preventing appliance damage, food spoilage, and the inconvenience costs associated with extended power outages.
Yes, a professionally installed backup generator typically increases your home’s market value, especially in areas like Argyle that experience frequent power outages. Real estate professionals report that generators are particularly attractive to buyers in Texas due to grid reliability concerns. The value increase often ranges from 50-80% of the generator’s installed cost, depending on local market conditions and buyer preferences. In rapidly growing areas like Argyle, where new residents are moving from areas with more stable power grids, backup generators can be a significant selling point. Beyond market value, generators provide immediate quality-of-life improvements that make your home more enjoyable to live in. You never have to worry about power outages disrupting your routine, damaging appliances, or creating safety concerns during severe weather events that are common in North Texas.
Standby generators require annual professional maintenance to ensure reliable operation when you need them most. This includes oil changes, filter replacements, battery testing, and comprehensive system diagnostics. Your generator automatically performs weekly self-tests, running for about 15 minutes to exercise the engine and charging system. These tests help identify potential issues before they become problems during actual outages. You’ll hear the unit run briefly each week, which is completely normal. We recommend scheduling professional maintenance each fall before storm season. Annual service typically costs $200-$400 and includes all necessary maintenance items plus a thorough inspection of electrical connections, gas lines, and control systems. Proper maintenance extends your generator’s lifespan and ensures it starts reliably during the power outages that inevitably affect Argyle and the surrounding Denton County area.
