Generators are meant to be your safety net, but even top-tier systems can fall short if they’re not installed correctly or sized right. From systems that struggle to handle full loads to setups that never kick on when needed, problems with installation can put your business at risk. That’s where AstroGen steps in.
Along with installations, we also handle maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and emergency services, everything your business needs to stay up and running no matter what Houston weather throws your way.
Waiting to install a commercial generator often seems harmless, but the truth is, power outages can strike anytime. The longer you wait, the more you risk. Here’s why getting your generator installed now makes sense:
From refrigerators and HVAC systems to security networks and servers, a power loss shuts everything down. A reliable generator keeps your business essentials powered.
Spoiled products, damaged systems, or security lapses all come with a price. Installing a generator now protects your bottom line later.
As your operations expand, so do your power needs. A properly sized generator ensures you’re ready for growth without overloads.
Between summer heat waves, hurricanes, and unexpected outages, the Houston power grid isn’t always dependable. A standby generator gives your business a solid safety net.
It starts with a visit to your property where we evaluate your electrical systems, measure power demands, and figure out the best location for your unit. We’ll calculate the exact load your business needs so there’s no guesswork.
Next, we put together a tailored plan for your generator, factoring in fuel type, output capacity, transfer switch requirements, and integration with your current electrical setup.
You’ll get a straightforward proposal detailing everything from equipment specs to pricing and an installation timeline. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Our skilled installers handle every part of the job, setting the pad, wiring the connections, hooking up the fuel line, and configuring the transfer switch. We stick to safety codes and best practices every step of the way.
Once installed, we’ll run your new generator through startup sequences and load simulations to ensure it handles real-world demands. We won’t wrap up until everything works flawlessly.
Still on the fence? These are common reasons local businesses decide it’s time to install backup power:
Frequent Power Disruptions: If your business deals with power blips or outages even a few times a year, it adds up to lost revenue and headaches. A generator cuts that risk.
Sensitive Equipment or Inventory: Whether it’s medical machinery, IT servers, or climate-controlled stock, certain operations just can’t afford downtime.
Expansion or New Builds: If you’re adding space or new operations, it’s smart to plan generator power from the start.
Insurance or Safety Requirements: Many industries have strict backup power standards. Installing a generator helps meet regulations and avoids fines.
Rising Client Expectations: Today’s customers expect seamless service. A power outage shouldn’t slow your operations or drive people to competitors.
Installing a commercial generator isn’t a simple plug-and-play project. Cutting corners often costs more in the long run. Here’s why you’re better off with experienced pros like AstroGen:
Still on the fence? These are common reasons local businesses decide it’s time to install backup power:
It’s More Complex Than You Think: A proper install involves electrical load balancing, transfer switch programming, and fuel system hookups. Missing just one detail can cause your generator to fail when needed most.
Code and Permit Compliance: Houston has strict electrical and fuel codes. We handle permits and make sure everything passes inspection.
Manufacturer Warranty Protection: Most generator makers require certified installs to keep warranties valid. Going with an unqualified installer could void coverage.
Avoid Safety Hazards: Incorrect wiring or fuel connections aren’t just risks to your equipment, they’re dangerous for people on-site.
Save Time and Money: When you hire experts, the job’s done right the first time. You’ll avoid paying twice to fix mistakes from DIY attempts or budget contractors.

“Our power went out during a storm that came through during the night and we lost power. Our Generac generator didn’t startup and threw errors. I called around 9:00 am and the owner, Mason, showed up within the hour and was so great working with us. Unfortunately we have to get the motor replaced, Mason took care of calling Generac to work on getting it replaced through our warranty. We can’t say enough good things about the service we received. We will be using them now on for routine service maintenance. I HIGHLY recommend them.” – Stacy ONeal
“The installation crew was respectful and did a phenomenal job from install to clean up. The service tech came out the next day and did a complete walkthrough with me and answered every question I had. Best choice I made by using Astro Gen to service my house!!! Thank yall again.” – Roman McElfresh
“AstroGen successfully completed the installation and start up of my whole-home generator. I chose Cummins Generator. I am super pleased with the process, the workmanship and the people. I would particularly like to mention @Jose, and @Ethan who were directly responsible for the installation, both are nice and professional, and Caleb who was my main point of contact. Overall, I am satisfied with AstroGen. I have already recommended AstroGen to my neighbor who is scheduled to get his installed in a few weeks.” – Dharmesh Shah
“There are very few companies that truly deserve more than 5 stars. This is one of them. I tried to get generator quotes from several companies. And AstroGen was the only one that got back to me in a timely manner. From the first phone call they were organized, professional and transparent. Kaden came out for out house quote and walked us through options, answered all of our questions and made sure we felt comfortable. Install day was today (even after major storms last night), everything was completed on time and the owner Mason came out and looked everything over and did the final walkthrough. I could not be more appreciative of AstroGen and their team! I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone.” – Cameron Branham
