Commercial Generator Installation, Service & Maintenance Contracts in Houston & Fort Bend

Commercial generator installation

Commercial standby generators sized, permitted and installed — from the load study through to a commissioned system signed off by the inspector. We work from engineered drawings where a project has them, and produce the electrical scope where it does not.

• Load study first. Motor starting, non-linear loads from drives and UPS equipment, and planned growth — not a rule of thumb.
• Automatic transfer switches. Specified to the service and the load, including service-rated and life-safety configurations.
• Permits and inspections. Pulled and coordinated with whichever authority has jurisdiction over the address.
• Coordination with GCs and engineers. We read the drawings, attend the meetings, and own the generator-to-distribution interface rather than assuming someone else has it.
• One licensed contractor. Generator, transfer switch and the electrical work under the same license.

Where commercial differs from residential

Past roughly 26 kW you leave air-cooled equipment behind and move to liquid-cooled units, and the job changes character with it. Three-phase service, larger transfer switches, fuel supply that has to be engineered rather than assumed, and in many cases code requirements around life-safety and egress circuits that do not apply to a house.

Sizing stops being a rule of thumb too. That warrants an actual load study, not a checkbox estimator — the sizing tool on this site is built for homes and will not scope a building.

Generator maintenance contracts

A standby generator is an engine that spends almost all of its life switched off. The weekly self-test proves it starts; it proves very little about whether the machine will carry your building for two days. Equipment that sits unmaintained fails at exactly the moment the grid does — which is the only moment it was bought for.

A planned maintenance contract puts the servicing on a schedule instead of on someone remembering. It also keeps the manufacturer's warranty intact, which requires documented servicing at their intervals on every make.

What a contract covers

• Scheduled visits. Planned in advance and attended on a set interval, so the date does not move when everyone is busy.
• Documented results. You get a record of what was checked and what was found — which is what a warranty claim and an insurer both ask for.
• Repair and warranty service. Kohler and Generac warranty work goes through us, so a claim is not your problem to chase.
• Priority over non-contract work. Contract customers are scheduled ahead of ad-hoc calls.

Contracts quoted per site based on generator size and visit frequency.

Commercial generator repair

Diagnosis and repair on commercial standby generators and automatic transfer switches, whoever installed them. A unit that will not start, will not transfer, alarms on the controller, or starts and then drops the load are all different faults — we work out which before quoting parts.

We hold manufacturer credentials with Kohler and Generac specifically — Kohler Certified and Generac Authorized Dealer — so warranty repair on those two goes through us rather than through you.

Who we work with

Building owners, property managers, facility managers, general contractors and engineers. On a new build or a finish-out we work to the drawings; on an existing building we survey what is there and tell you what it will actually take.

Medical and dental

Refrigerated medication, powered chairs, sterilisers and records systems that cannot simply stop.

Pharmacies

Refrigerated stock and dispensing systems, where a few hours of lost cooling is lost inventory.

Restaurants and food service

Walk-ins and reach-ins. A single lost freezer of product often exceeds a year of service plan.

Retail and multi-tenant

Lighting, POS and card terminals. Closed during an outage is revenue you never recover.

Warehouse and light industrial

Dock equipment, compressors, process loads and life-safety systems.

Offices and professional space

Servers, network gear and the ability to keep working through a regional outage.

We also handle commercial electrical tenant finish-out under the same license — see commercial electrical contracting. On a project that involves both, the generator, the transfer switch and the distribution work are not split across two trades who each assume the other owns the interface.
