River Oaks houses are large, and many of them are old. Both facts change the job: the load is higher than the square footage suggests, and the panel is often the part that needs work first.
Recent completed installations in 77019 and 77027, the most recent in early 2026. Every job is sized on a load calculation, wired by our own licensed electricians, permitted in our name and tested under load before we leave.
Most whole-house installations across Greater Houston land between $14,000 and $20,000, fully installed. The spread comes down to the size of the unit, how far the gas and electrical runs have to travel, and whether the panel needs upgrading. We quote the finished number after a site visit, not a starting-from figure.
On a house built decades before anyone planned for whole-home backup, the service panel is frequently the limiting factor rather than the generator. We check it at the site visit, and if it needs upgrading we price that separately so you can see what is generator and what is electrical.
Manufacturer clearances, and distance from windows, doors and vents, are the same everywhere. What differs in River Oaks is that there is less room to satisfy them. Placement gets decided on site, with noise and sightlines part of the conversation rather than an afterthought.
Multiple air-conditioning systems, a pool, a lift, sometimes a guest house. The load calculation usually lands on a larger unit than the owner expected, and occasionally load management is the cheaper answer. We will price both and let you choose.
A site visit, a real number, and a written scope. No obligation and no starting-from pricing.
Yes. We have completed installations in 77019 and 77027, the most recent in early 2026. Our shop is on Mosley Road, inside Beltway 8, so we are a local call rather than an out-of-state dispatch.
Almost always, but placement takes more thought than on a larger suburban lot. The unit has to sit outside, on a pad or a raised stand, a set distance from windows, doors and vents, and stay accessible for servicing. We confirm all of that at the site visit before anything is ordered.
Onsite installation is 1 to 4 days. The calendar is usually set by permitting and utility coordination, which runs 1 to 3 weeks depending on the jurisdiction, after 1 to 3 days of consultation and system design.
Yes. Electrical, gas, and the generator placement and connection all require permitting. We pull them in our own name and attend the inspections. You do not deal with the city.
