East Texas Generator’s 9-Step process

We handle the entire home generator process from start-to-finish. We’ll work with the city to obtain all the necessary permits and ensure that your standby generator is installed correctly and professionally.

​Once you select the standby power generator that’s right for you, East Texas Generator handles all the details. You choose a standby power generator to make your life easier. We make getting your system even easier.

1. Site evaluation

We gather all critical information to determine your power requirements, load calculation, location of where your new back up power generator is to sit, size of generator needed, along with appropriate transfer switch.

2. Quote process and diagram

A complete and thorough explanation of the equipment required for the power needs of the buyer is provided.  Spec sheets are sent along with quote containing all the information about what will be furnished and installed.

3. Permitting (if necessary) and CenterPoint Approval

If the installation is in an area that requires permitting, we will apply for and obtain any permits, prior to any work performed. Every installation requires a one-line diagram be submitted for approval to you energy provider, showing the installation diagram, as well as the specifications of the generator and the automatic transfer switch.

4. HOA approval (if necessary)

If you reside in a Home Owner’s Associations and they require approval prior to installing a standby generator, we’ll work with them to get the proper permissions.

5. Concrete pad

We locate and professionally pour a concrete pad for your new back up standby generator to call home.

6. Electrical systems install and inspection

Incorrect electrical installation can result in damage to the equipment, not covered under manufacturer or installation warranty. There is a right way and wrong way to wire a standby generator system with a transfer switch. Passing inspection doesn’t always mean it is installed correctly. We ensure that your system is correctly installed, no questions asked.

7. Plumbing installation & inspection

As with installation, there is a right and wrong way to plumb a standby generator.  Even if a job passes inspection, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is plumbed correctly for a standby generator.

8. Gas provider services setup

Standby generators fueled by natural gas or propane run best with elevated pressure. This sometimes requires an upgraded meter from the natural gas provider.

9. Startup and walkthrough

After completion of the installation process, one of our trained technicians will set an appointment to start up the generator and leads you through a detailed tutorial covering operation of your new system.
