Whole-Home Standby Generator Installation in Rockwall, TX

Texas power outages — whether from summer storms, ice events, or grid overloads — can leave Rockwall homes without power for hours or days. A whole-home standby generator from Paramount Electric automatically starts within seconds of a power outage, keeping your lights, HVAC, refrigerator, and medical equipment running without any action from you.

We install standby generators from leading brands including Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton. Every installation includes an automatic transfer switch, proper gas line connection coordination, and all required permits and inspections.

What We Do

What Is Included with Generator Installation

A standby generator installation from Paramount Electric is a complete turnkey project. We handle every step:

🔌

Generator Sizing & Selection

We calculate your home’s electrical load to recommend the right generator size (typically 14kW-22kW for whole-home coverage) from Generac, Kohler, or Briggs & Stratton.

Automatic Transfer Switch

The ATS is the brain of your backup power system — it detects the outage, isolates your home from the utility, and starts your generator automatically within 10-30 seconds.

🔧

Electrical Connection

Proper wiring from your generator to the transfer switch and your main electrical panel, sized correctly for your generator’s output.

📋

Permitting & Inspection

All permits pulled through Rockwall city or county and all required inspections scheduled and passed before we consider the job complete.

🏠

Pad & Placement

Generator placement recommendations and concrete pad installation if needed, complying with local setback requirements and manufacturer specifications.

Full load testing of your generator and transfer switch, plus a walkthrough showing you maintenance requirements and how your system operates.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What size generator do I need for my Rockwall home?
+
Generator sizing depends on which circuits you want backed up. A 14kW generator covers essential circuits (lights, outlets, refrigerator, HVAC). A 22kW+ generator provides whole-home coverage including electric ranges and larger HVAC systems. We perform a load calculation at no charge.
How does an automatic transfer switch work?
+
The automatic transfer switch (ATS) monitors your utility power continuously. When it detects an outage, it disconnects your home from the utility grid and starts your generator automatically — typically within 10-30 seconds — without any action needed from you.
Do you install Generac generators?
+
Yes. Paramount Electric installs Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton standby generators. We can also work with other brands if you have a strong preference.
How long does generator installation take?
+
A standard residential standby generator installation typically takes 1-2 days. This includes electrical work, transfer switch installation, and testing. Gas line work is coordinated with a licensed plumber if needed.
Who handles the gas connection for the generator?
+
Natural gas and propane connections are handled by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. We coordinate this work as part of the overall project and schedule it to align with the electrical installation.
Does a generator installation require a permit in Rockwall?
+
Yes. Generator installations require electrical permits and in some cases mechanical and gas permits. Paramount Electric manages all electrical permitting and coordinates with other trades as needed.
