Generator Installation & Hookup in Leander: What You Need to Know
After Winter Storm Uri in 2021, generator installation demand in Leander and the broader Austin metro surged — and hasn't stopped. Our licensed Leander electrician installs standby generators (Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton) with automatic transfer switches, as well as manual transfer switches for portable generators. All installations are permitted and inspected.
How It Works
How Generator Installation & Hookup Works in Leander
Generator installation involves placing the generator unit, running a gas line (coordinated with a licensed plumber), installing an automatic or manual transfer switch, and connecting the generator to your home's electrical system. Standby generators start automatically when power goes out. Portable generator hookups use a manual transfer switch and require you to start the generator manually.
