Larger homes, multiple HVAC zones
Large homes, home offices, medical equipment
Prices include equipment, in-house installation, transfer switch, City of Missouri City permit fees, and our 12-year warranty. Where a CenterPoint or SiEnergy gas main reaches your street, a natural gas connection typically adds minimal cost compared with a propane tank installation.
Most Missouri 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
Missouri City Generator Questions, Answered
Do I need a permit to install a generator in Missouri City?
Yes. The permit comes from the City of Missouri City Development Services Department, Permits and Inspections Division, at 1522 Texas Parkway; electrical permit applications must be submitted online through the city’s MCTX Self Service portal, which also tracks status around the clock. A Missouri City address outside the city limits, such as parts of Sienna, goes through Fort Bend County Engineering’s MGO portal. Grasten pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections.
What knocks out power in Missouri City?
Hurricanes and summer storms on the overhead lines, and the occasional grid failure. When Hurricane Beryl came through in July 2024, 250,000 Fort Bend County customers lost power at the peak, by the county judge’s count, and 150,000 were still out the next day. 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. A standby generator starts on its own within seconds and runs until CenterPoint restores service.
Is natural gas available at my Missouri City address?
Often, yes. CenterPoint Energy Entex or SiEnergy serves Missouri City, with SiEnergy on roughly a third of the city’s meters in newer subdivisions, so check your gas bill. 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 Missouri 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 Missouri City for repairs?
Missouri City is served from our Conroe facility at 10890 TX-242, about 55 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.
