Generator Service in Jersey Village, TX

A standby generator that has never been serviced can let you down on the one night it matters. Wired Electrical & Generators is a family-owned, licensed and insured electrician and a Generac Prestige Dealer. Our showroom and shop are at 13910 Alice Road in Tomball, about 30 minutes from Jersey Village by our estimate, and we have served Greater Houston since 2005.

We repair and maintain Generac generators and other brands, including Kohler, and you do not need to have bought the unit from us. Call (713) 467-1125 to book a service visit in Jersey Village.

Generators beside a ranch house

Jersey Village is full of single-story ranch houses from the 1960s into the 1980s, and a generator usually sits in a side yard or behind the house, near the air conditioner and the gas meter. Air conditioning is what a generator in this climate works hardest on, so a unit that stalls under load is often telling you something about the fuel supply, the battery or a weak connection. We test under load, not just at idle.

Pads, drainage and flood-prone lots

Parts of Jersey Village sit near White Oak Bayou, and the city has a flooding history. A generator on a low pad with water pooling around it is a risk, and so is a controller or transfer switch low on a wall. At every visit we look at the pad height, the drainage and the enclosure. If we see standing water, rust or mud lines on the unit, we tell you what that means for the repair and for your plan next storm season.

After Hurricane Beryl

Beryl in July 2024 cut power to a large part of Greater Houston for days, and many Jersey Village generators ran longer than they ever had. After a long run, the oil, filters and battery are due, and we read the controller history for any warnings the unit stored. Generators that sat quiet through that outage deserve a check too, because stale fuel and a worn battery do their damage while nothing seems wrong.

Safe checks before you call

If the unit will not start, look at the controller, which should read AUTO. Check that the generator's breaker is on and that the gas valve is open or the propane tank has fuel. Write down any code. Leave the transfer switch and panel closed. With the brand, model and code in hand, we can tell you if the fix is routine or needs a parts order first.

City permits for changes

The City of Jersey Village requires a permit for new generator installations. Routine maintenance is a different thing, but if a repair means moving the unit, replacing the transfer switch or changing the gas line, tell us so we can find out what applies. Check any HOA or deed restrictions on your street as well.
