Generator Installation FAQ for El Paso Homeowners

How often should El Paso homeowners get generator installation?
Given El Paso's extreme summer heat exceeding 100°f with very low humidity (often below 15%), most homeowners benefit from generator installation at least once a year. Post-dust-storm exterior cleaning (year-round but worst in spring) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in El Paso most need generator installation?
Adobe and stucco ranch homes throughout El Paso County and Territorial and Spanish colonial-style homes in historic neighborhoods are the most common home types in El Paso and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How big of a generator do I need?
For whole-home coverage, 20–22kW handles most homes under 3,500 sq ft. Critical-circuit-only coverage can be achieved with 10–14kW. We calculate your exact load to right-size the unit.
How much does a whole-home generator cost?
Generac and comparable generators typically cost $5,000–$15,000 installed, including the unit, transfer switch, gas connections, electrical work, and permits. Larger homes or propane installs cost more.
Does a generator run on natural gas?
Yes. Standby generators connect to your existing natural gas line, so no fuel storage is needed. Propane is also an option for homes without gas service.
How long can a standby generator run?
Natural gas standby generators can run continuously for days or weeks as long as gas service is maintained. They're designed for extended outages, unlike portable units.
