Permits

Permits and inspections

Not every job requires a permit. When the local AHJ requires one, we pull it, schedule the inspection, and stay with the job until it passes. No paperwork on you.

Warranty

What's covered

Written warranty: 5-year on outlets, fixtures, and EV chargers; 10-year on wire and breakers; lifetime on panelboxes and surge protection. Parts and labor. Transfers with the home.

05 - WHO TO HIRE

Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.

For whole home generator installation, here's the honest comparison. We'd tell you the same thing if we weren't trying to win the job.

Keil Electric

A licensed electrician

Licensed electrician walks every job. Veteran-owned, family-run.

Permits pulled and inspections coordinated when required by the AHJ

5/10-year + lifetime warranty in writing. Parts and labor. Transfers with the home.

Fully insured + workers' comp on every crew

The price you sign is the price you pay

A handyman

Unlicensed for electrical

No state electrical license. Can do simple swaps but not panel work, rewires, or service upgrades.

No permits. Work won't pass inspection if the city audits it later.

No structured warranty. "Call me if something breaks" isn't enforceable.

If something they did causes a fire, your homeowner's insurance can deny the claim.

Cash discount may show up on the invoice.

DIY

Doing it yourself

Cheap, but only if everything goes right. Most electrical work involves load calc, code, and permitting.

A failed inspection means redoing the work. Selling the home later, the buyer's inspector flags it.

No warranty if something fails. Replacement is on you.

Live wiring is a real safety hazard. Most fatal home electrical accidents are DIY.

If you know what you're doing, fine. If you don't, call us first.

What we see for whole home generator installation in Bear Creek

Bear Creek is a small Hays County community with mostly post-1990 single-family housing on larger lots. whole home generator installation jobs here trend toward newer-construction needs: EV charger circuits, generator interlock or whole-home backup, and dedicated equipment circuits for shop buildings or detached structures common to the larger lot sizes.

How whole home generator installation typically runs in Bear Creek

Whole-home generator installs coordinate electrical, gas, concrete, and inspection trades. Sizing starts with a real load calc, whole-home backup vs essential-circuit backup is the first decision. Whole-home for a 2,500-3,500 sq ft home with central AC typically runs 22-26 kW. Pad placement honors code-mandated clearances from windows, doors, and combustibles. The transfer switch is the brains: service-entrance ATS for whole-home, sub-panel ATS for essential-circuit. Total project from quote to commissioning is typically 4-8 weeks; the on-site install is 2-3 days plus inspection scheduling.

Permits and code in Texas

Austin metro cities pull permits through their own AHJs (the city of Austin uses Austin Energy and the city development services; outlying cities run through the county). The state adopts the National Electrical Code with Texas amendments. We pull the permit when the scope requires it, schedule any inspection, and close out the work in your file. Bear Creek-specific permit notes go on the quote so you know what is required before any work begins.

Calls from this page reach the Austin team directly. Bear Creek is part of our day-to-day coverage, dispatched from our Round Rock shop with the same crew that runs every other Austin-area job. After-hours emergencies are dispatched when capacity allows; routine jobs are usually scheduled within a few business days depending on parts and scope.

Common questions for Whole Home Generator Installation in Bear Creek

How big a generator do I need?

Depends on what you want to back up. Whole-home backup typically needs 22-26 kW for a 2,500-3,500 sq ft home with central AC. Essential-circuit backup runs 12-18 kW for refrigeration, key lighting, well pump, and partial HVAC. We run the actual load calc.

How much does a whole-home generator cost installed?

Total install cost includes the generator, the automatic transfer switch, the concrete pad, the gas line work, the electrical permit, and labor. We quote in writing after the load calc and site walk.

Will the generator run on natural gas or propane?

Most modern standby generators run on either, with a fuel selector at install. Natural gas is preferred when available. LP requires a tank sized to the runtime expectation.

How loud is a whole-home generator?

Modern Generac and Kohler air-cooled units run around 65-70 dB at 23 feet, similar to an outdoor AC condenser. Liquid-cooled units (larger) are quieter. Setback distance from neighbor windows is part of the placement plan.

How long does the install take?

Total project from quote to commissioning is typically 4-8 weeks, depending on permit speed, gas line scheduling, and pad pour time. The actual on-site install is 2-3 days.
