Standby Generators for Baytown Homes
A standby generator sits outside your home and starts on its own when the power goes out. It runs on natural gas or propane, so there is no fuel to pour during a storm.
We install Generac home standby generators. One crew takes the job from the first visit to the first test run.
When a Standby Generator Makes Sense
Someone at home depends on medical equipment
You work from home and cannot lose a day
You have sat through long outages after a storm
A full refrigerator and freezer are at risk
A summer outage means no air conditioning
The house sits empty when you travel
Authorized Generac Dealer in Baytown
Blackmon Plumbing is an authorized Generac dealer. We sell the generator, install it and service it after the sale.
We also do yearly maintenance on the units we put in. A generator is an engine, and it needs care to be ready.
What a Generator Install Includes
Sizing for Your Home
We ask what you want to keep running in an outage. Then we size the generator to carry that load.
Permit and Concrete Pad
We handle the permit. We also pour the pad the generator sits on.
Gas Line
A generator needs its own fuel supply. Our licensed plumbers run the gas line and pressure test it.
Startup and Testing
The automatic transfer switch moves your home to generator power when the grid drops. We test the whole system with you before we leave.

Home Generator Questions
It depends on what you want to run during an outage. A whole-home setup needs more capacity than a few key circuits. We size it during the on-site estimate.
Generac home standby generators run on either one. If your home has natural gas service, that is usually the simpler choice. Propane needs a tank on the property.
