Deer Park Outage History
Why Deer Park Homeowners Act
When Hurricane Beryl came through in July 2024, 2.26 million CenterPoint customers lost power, the largest outage in the company's history, and 1.28 million of them were still waiting two days later. More than six in ten of CenterPoint's Harris County customers were dark for over 24 hours, and more than 865,000 were still without power on the fourth day. Two months before Beryl, the May 16, 2024 derecho had already knocked out more than 900,000 CenterPoint customers in a single evening. During Uri the city's emergency office warned that nearly every CenterPoint meter in Deer Park would see a rotating outage, and about 97 percent of the city had power back by February 18.

Whole home installs in the Houston area typically run $7,000 to $25,000+. Here's where most Deer Park 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 Deer Park permit fees, and our 12-year warranty. Where a CenterPoint gas main reaches your street, a natural gas connection typically adds minimal cost compared with a propane tank installation.
Most Deer Park homes on city gas service run natural gas. CenterPoint Energy Gas covers most of the metro, and the generator pulls off the same line that already feeds the house.

Frequently Asked Questions
Deer Park Generator Questions, Answered
Do I need a permit to install a generator in Deer Park?
Yes. Any residential electrical work in Deer Park needs a permit from the City of Deer Park Public Works Permit Office at City Hall, 710 East San Augustine, applied for through the city’s Citizen Self Service portal; the city publishes generator permit requirements on its Building Permit Information page, inspects to the 2023 National Electrical Code, and runs T-pole, service and final electrical inspections. Grasten pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections.
What knocks out power in Deer Park?
Hurricanes and summer storms on the overhead lines, and the occasional grid failure. When Hurricane Beryl came through in July 2024, 2.26 million CenterPoint customers lost power, the largest outage in the company’s history, and 1.28 million of them were still waiting two days later. More than six in ten of CenterPoint’s Harris County customers were dark for over 24 hours, and more than 865,000 were still without power on the fourth day. A standby generator starts on its own within seconds and runs until CenterPoint restores service.
Which evacuation zone is my Deer Park home in?
ZIP 77536 is in Zip-Zone C on the Houston-Galveston Area Council hurricane evacuation map. Look up your address on the map before the season starts, and plan the generator around staying or going.
Is natural gas available at my Deer Park address?
Often, yes. CenterPoint Energy Entex serves Deer Park. 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 Deer Park 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 Deer Park for repairs?
Deer Park is served from our Conroe facility at 10890 TX-242, about 54 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.
