Fort Worth’s Multi Brand Generator Specialists

Real range is $7,000 to $20,000 turnkey, and most Tarrant County jobs land in the middle. A 22kW Generac air cooled unit handles the typical 2,500 square foot home. The price includes the generator, the automatic transfer switch, electrical and gas connections off an existing Atmos Energy line, Fort Worth permit fees, and the 12 year Power Plus warranty. Larger homes, longer panel runs, an electrical service upgrade, or a new gas line push the number up. The free on site estimate gives you an exact figure for your property.

Three permits are required: building, electrical, and mechanical (gas), all through Fort Worth Development Services. Grasten Power pulls everything. We submit the application, coordinate the inspections, and run any HOA architectural review (Westover Hills, Mira Vista, and most master planned communities require this). From you we need a signed Notice of Commencement and a property survey. Approval normally runs 10 to 21 business days, longer in peak storm months.

For 1,800 to 3,500 square feet, a 22kW or 24kW air cooled unit handles the load. The biggest draw is the AC system, which on a Fort Worth August afternoon is doing serious work. Multiple HVAC zones, homes over 4,000 square feet, an elevator, or specialty equipment push you into 26kW or larger, and that’s where Cummins becomes a serious option. The free estimate includes a load calculation. We don’t guess.

Westover Hills, Mira Vista, the TCU area, and most newer master planned communities require architectural review before installation. The HOA wants a placement plan, screening or landscaping, and proof the generator stays under their noise standard (55 to 65 decibels at the property line is typical). Grasten Power prepares and submits the application package on your behalf. You’re not chasing board meetings.

Most Fort Worth addresses on city service run Atmos Energy natural gas. That’s the simpler setup: no tank, no fuel delivery schedule, the generator just pulls from the same line as the house. If your property isn’t on city gas, propane works fine, but means a 250 to 500 gallon tank on the lot and an ongoing fuel contract. Both are reliable. Cost and convenience are the trade off. We look at your specific address during the estimate.

On site work is one to two days. Day one is concrete pad, generator placement, gas and electrical connections, transfer switch. Day two, when needed, is commissioning, testing, and the walkthrough. The 30 to 90 day total timeline is dominated by permits and inspection scheduling with the city, not actual labor.

55 to 65 decibels during operation. Dishwasher volume. Kohler tends to come in a few decibels quieter than the others, which can matter in Westover Hills or anywhere with strict HOA noise rules. The weekly self test is 5 to 10 minutes. During an actual outage, the neighborhood is dark and the generator next door isn’t what anyone’s noticing.

All four brands we install are engineered to handle hurricane and tornado force winds. The unit sits on a concrete pad anchored to specification. What can go wrong in a major storm event is downed lines or transfer switch damage. Both are quick fixes our service team can handle. Our 12 year Power Plus warranty covers parts and labor for the full duration. If hail or wind damage hits the housing, we document it and get you a repair estimate within 48 hours for the insurance claim.

Grasten Power runs our own service fleet across Dallas Fort Worth. Our mobile vehicles are stocked with common parts. Our 24/7 dispatch line is a live phone, not an answering service. When a major event hits Tarrant County, our crews stay in the metro working through the call volume. Most Fort Worth customers enroll in an annual maintenance plan at installation to keep the unit and the 12 year warranty in good standing.
