Prep your Houston, Tx home for Hurricane Season

September 24, 2020

Hurricane Season has arrived! 

Hurricane season is from June 1st each year until November 30th.

In South Texas we are known for getting hurricanes. The last three major storms (Ike, Harvey, and Imelda) we had in Houston resulted in substantial loss of power. If your water heater(s) are tanked and require natural gas you will more than likely still have hot water if there is a power outage. If, however, you have an electrical water heater and/or a tankless you may be without hot water until the water is restored. What does this mean for your cooking? If you have an electric or gas range, you will not be able to use your stove top or oven until the power is restored. We can install whole home generators. This a stand-alone unit that goes on the exterior of your home. It is about the size of a deck storage box. They range in size and pricing, however, are designed to operate all the power of your home during any power outage regardless of how long the
power is out. 

Having a generator installed would allow you to have your AC or Heat working during any power outage as well as all of your electrical lights, outlets, refrigerators, fans, etc. The generator is piped into your gas line and with the help of an electrician they are connected to your power source. When the power goes out the generator kicks on automatically and keeps you up and running. This can be extremely important in
home health care situations, daycares, multi family dwellings, animal boarding facilities, or to just keep your wife/husband, kids and pets safe and happy. We offer 3rd party financing. They have a same as cash option as well as terms that will allow a payout for up to 9-years.

Call us today 713-253-4810 for your generator estimate.

Have a great day,
