Spring Outage History
Why Spring 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. Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 left more than 1.4 million CenterPoint customers without power on the night of February 15.

Spring Pricing
What Does a Generator Cost in Spring?
Whole home installs in the Houston area typically run $7,000 to $25,000+. Here's where most Spring 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, Harris County 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 Spring 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
Spring Generator Questions, Answered
Do I need a permit to install a generator in Spring?
Yes. Spring is unincorporated, so the permit comes from the Harris County Office of the County Engineer, Permits Division, applied for online through ePermits; the same system handles CenterPoint’s power release. Addresses on the Montgomery County side of the Spring postal area (ZIP 77386) go through the Montgomery County Permit Department in Conroe instead. Grasten pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections.
What knocks out power in Spring?
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.
Is natural gas available at my Spring address?
Often, yes. CenterPoint Energy Entex serves Spring. 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 Spring 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 Spring for repairs?
Spring is served from our Conroe facility at 10890 TX-242, about 17 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.
