Arlington Pricing
What Does a Generator Cost in Arlington?
Installed in the Fort Worth area, a whole home generator runs $7,000 to $25,000+. Here's where most Arlington homes land.
Essential circuits (lights, fridge, AC unit)
Most homes under 3,000 sq ft (full house)
Larger homes, multiple HVAC zones
Large homes, home offices, medical equipment
Prices include equipment, in-house installation, transfer switch, City of Arlington permit fees, and our 12-year warranty. Where a Atmos gas main reaches your street, a natural gas connection typically adds minimal cost compared with a propane tank installation.
Because Grasten Power installs with our own crews instead of subcontractors, we cut out the outside markup that pushes installation costs higher at other companies. As a multi brand dealer, we match you with the unit that fits your home and budget rather than the only one on the shelf. The result is a higher quality installation at a fair price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Arlington Generator Questions, Answered
Do I need a permit to install a generator in Arlington?
Yes. The permit comes from City of Arlington Planning and Development Services at City Hall, 101 West Abram Street, second floor, and residential and electrical permits are applied for through the Arlington Permits online portal. Tarrant County issues no building permits for single-family homes outside city limits. Grasten pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections.
What knocks out power in Arlington?
Spring and summer storms with straight-line wind and hail, the occasional tornado, and the kind of winter event that took the ERCOT grid down statewide. Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 left around 172,000 Oncor customers in Tarrant County without power on the afternoon of February 16, many for days in subfreezing cold. The May 28, 2024 storms still had 13,500 Oncor customers in Tarrant County without power at 10 p.m., out of more than 650,000 across North Texas that day. A standby generator starts on its own within seconds and runs until Oncor restores service.
Is natural gas available at my Arlington address?
Often, yes. Atmos Energy serves Arlington. Where there is no gas main on your street, the generator runs on propane from a tank on your property. We confirm which applies during the free estimate.
Will my Arlington HOA allow a whole home generator?
Many HOAs require architectural approval before installation. Grasten Power prepares the application package and goes through the review process for you, so you are not chasing board approvals on your own.
How fast can Grasten reach Arlington for repairs?
Arlington is served from our Dallas facility at 10840 Sanden Dr B, about 36 miles away. Our service vehicles are built out for first visit repairs and stocked with the parts that come up most, and our dispatch runs 24/7 with a live phone.
