What a generator has to handle in Cypress.
Gas heat is common in Cypress homes
About two-thirds of occupied homes in both 77429 and 77433 heat with utility gas, by Census estimates, and about 1 percent heat with bottled or tank gas. Either fuel can feed a Generac standby unit, and we connect it during the install.
Where the transfer switch goes in older and newer houses
A newer 77433 house may have room for an automatic transfer switch at the panel as built. An older 77429 house may need breakers freed up, or a switch fitted at the meter instead. We work out which one your house needs before we quote the switch.
Picking pad ground near the creeks
Little Cypress Creek overflowed its banks at Kluge Road in July 2012, after about 14 inches of rain in three days, and it rose higher there in the 2016 Tax Day Flood and again during Harvey in 2017. First Street estimates that about 1 in 5 Cypress properties have more than a 1 in 4 chance of severe flooding over the next 30 years. If your lot has taken water, we plan the pad location around that history.

Questions we get from Cypress.
What can a Cypress HOA ask for before a standby generator goes in?
Under Texas Property Code 202.019, an association cannot ban a permanently installed standby generator or restrict owning, installing, running or maintaining one. It can regulate things like screening, location, reasonable testing times and the use of licensed contractors for the electrical, plumbing and fuel-line connections. A location rule is not enforceable if it pushes the cost of installing the generator up by more than 10 percent. Towne Lake, Coles Crossing and Blackhorse Ranch are among the neighborhoods in Cypress, and if yours has an association, Wired prepares the paperwork for its review.
My Cypress house has gas heat. Does that mean a generator can run on natural gas?
Gas heat alone does not settle it. The Census figure counts heating fuel only, so it says nothing about generator suitability at a given house. We look at your house on the free sizing visit, and propane is the other fuel we can hook up.
Which permit rules cover a generator install in Cypress?
That turns on whether your lot is in unincorporated Harris County or inside Houston city limits, which we confirm from your address. From there, the permit and inspection steps for the generator are on us. In unincorporated Cypress, Texas still requires a state electrical license for the wiring, and our team is licensed and insured.
How soon can a generator be running at my Cypress house?
Units are in stock at our Tomball showroom. Permit timing depends on what applies at your address, and an HOA review adds a step if your subdivision has one. After that, putting the generator in usually takes one day.

It only comes off the units on our floor, so when they're gone, it's gone. New air-cooled Generac installs come with a free 10-year warranty, and financing is there if you want it. Permit timing depends on your city or county. The install itself is usually one day.
