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.
Oncor owns the lines in the core of Waxahachie and restores outages there; the HILCO and Navarro County electric cooperatives serve other addresses. Oncor customers choose a retail provider; co-op members do not.
The City of Waxahachie Permitting Division issues the permit through its Citizen Self Service portal, which also handles plan review, payments and inspections. Grasten pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections.
Atmos Energy's Mid-Tex Division runs the gas mains in Waxahachie. Streets without a main use a propane tank.

Waxahachie Pricing
What Does a Generator Cost in Waxahachie?
A whole home generator in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro costs $7,000 to $25,000+, installed. Here's where most Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie 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
Waxahachie Generator Questions, Answered
Do I need a permit to install a generator in Waxahachie?
Yes. The permit comes from the City of Waxahachie Permitting Division, Building and Community Services, at 408 South Rogers, applied for through the city’s Citizen Self Service portal. A Waxahachie address outside the city limits goes through the Ellis County Department of Development in Waxahachie, which has no residential building code or electrical inspection authority. Grasten pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections.
What knocks out power in Waxahachie?
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. The March 8, 2025 storms knocked out power to nearly 18,000 Oncor customers in Ellis County at the peak, most of them around Waxahachie and Ennis. The May 28, 2024 storms knocked out power to more than 650,000 Oncor customers across North Texas in one day. A standby generator starts on its own within seconds and runs until Oncor restores service.
Is natural gas available at my Waxahachie address?
Often, yes. Atmos Energy serves Waxahachie. 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 Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie for repairs?
Waxahachie is served from our Dallas facility at 10840 Sanden Dr B, about 46 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.
