Acreage, flood history and county lines.
Sizing for acreage or a new build
On a private well, the pump stops when the power goes out unless the generator runs it. A shop or barn adds its own load on top of the house. At the sizing visit, we do a load calculation and size the Generac unit and automatic transfer switch to the circuits you pick.
Planning the pad around Cypress Creek floods
The National Weather Service gauge on Cypress Creek near Hockley crested above its current 160.6-foot major flood stage in October 1994, October and November 1998 and April 2016, as well as during Harvey. If water has reached your yard in a past storm, show us where at the sizing visit so the pad location can account for it.

Questions we get from Hockley.
If my Hockley subdivision has an HOA, can it block a standby generator?
No. Under Section 202.019 of the Texas Property Code, in effect since 2015, an association can set some rules for a permanently installed standby generator but cannot prohibit one. It can still require licensed installers and code compliance, ask for screening in some cases and set location rules, though a location rule cannot be enforced if it raises the installation cost by more than 10 percent. Wired prepares the HOA paperwork for the association's review.
How many days does a standby generator install take in Hockley?
Setting the unit and wiring it in usually takes one day. Before that, permit timing depends on which county your address falls in.
On Hockley acreage, can one generator run the house, the well pump and the barn?
It can, if the unit and transfer switch are sized for the combined load. If that load is more than the unit you want can carry, the well pump and the circuits you need most can go on the generator and the rest can stay off.
Can a generator serve a manufactured home in 77447?
It depends on the home's electrical service and panel. The options are a standby unit with a transfer switch or an inlet and interlock for a portable generator, and we check the service before recommending either.

$2,000 off a generator install. While supplies last.
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.
