Power Outage Profile
The local details that shape your install: who runs the grid, who issues the permit, and which gas partners are in your area.
Texas-New Mexico Power serves the larger share of League City and CenterPoint the rest; the bill, not the address, tells you which. Both restore their own outages, and you choose a retail provider either way.
The City of League City Building Department issues the permit through its online permit portal, with electrical trade permits required. Grasten pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections.
CenterPoint Energy Entex runs the gas mains in League City. Streets without a main use a propane tank.

Why League City Chooses Grasten
What Makes Us Different
Multi Brand Dealer

12 Year Power Plus Warranty
TNMP reported 114,102 customers without power at midday on July 8, 2024, after Hurricane Beryl. Grasten's 12-Year Power Plus Warranty protects Generac air-cooled systems through outages like that, as long as a Certified Canter Technician does the annual service.

League City Pricing

Whole home installs in the Houston area typically run $7,000 to $25,000+. Here's where most League City 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 League City 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 League City 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
League City Generator Questions, Answered
Do I need a permit to install a generator in League City?
Yes. The permit comes from the City of League City Building Department at 500 West Walker Street, applied for through the city’s online permit portal with one consolidated PDF; electrical trade permits are required, and the portal takes payments and inspection requests. Galveston County runs no general building permit program for unincorporated areas. Grasten pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections.
What knocks out power in League City?
Hurricanes and summer storms on the overhead lines, and the occasional grid failure. When Hurricane Beryl came through in July 2024, about 120,000 metered customers in Galveston County were without power on the first morning, more than 70,000 of them on TNMP’s lines and more than 65,000 on CenterPoint’s. TNMP, which serves part of League City, reported 114,102 customers without power at midday on July 8. A standby generator starts on its own within seconds and runs until your utility restores service.
Which evacuation zone is my League City home in?
ZIP 77573 is in Zip-Zone A on the Houston-Galveston Area Council hurricane evacuation map, the first zone evacuated after the coastal zone. 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 League City address?
Often, yes. CenterPoint Energy Entex serves League City. 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 League City 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 League City for repairs?
League City is served from our Conroe facility at 10890 TX-242, about 62 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.
