A HomeSafe generator installation runs in six steps: a free in-home visit, an internal review, permitting, installation, startup, and a walkthrough that includes a simulated power outage. One company stays accountable from the first call to the final walkthrough, and you have one point of contact the whole way.
You do not need to be ready to buy. The visit is free, carries no obligation, and takes 30 to 60 minutes. We look at your electrical panel, your gas supply and meter, and the places a unit could realistically go on your lot, including setback rules and, in HOA communities such as Southlake, Colleyville and Highland Park, what your association will allow. Our guide to HOA-compliant generator installation covers that last part.
You leave with a straight recommendation: which size, which brand, and why. We recommend only what we will stand behind. If a smaller system covers what you need, we will say so.
We will not give you a firm number over the phone. Any installer who quotes a price before seeing your property is guessing. What you receive afterward is a written quote that lists everything included in the job at one total price. What a generator quote should include explains how to read it.
After the visit, the team reviews what it found before the permit is filed. The quote and the permit application rest on your actual panel, gas supply and site, not on a general estimate.
You do not deal with the city. Cameron Williams, HomeSafe's General Manager, pulls the permit and schedules the inspection. Every city runs its own process, and Fort Worth, Southlake, Plano and Frisco each differ in what they ask for and how long they take. Our guide to generator permits in DFW cities shows what each requires, and do I need a permit for a generator answers the basic question. The electrical work runs under Texas Electrical Contractor License #41809.
The installation covers the concrete pad, the gas line, the electrical work, the transfer switch and setting the generator. Before any electrical or gas trenching begins, we start with a dig test, so what is under the ground is known before anything is cut.
If the work turns out to need something outside the quoted scope, it is explained to you and approved in writing before any work on it begins. If the installation requires drywall or sprinkler repairs, HomeSafe handles them and covers the cost unless your quote says otherwise.
Some jobs include work that goes beyond the generator itself, such as relocating an air-conditioning condenser. Your quote states what is included for your home.
At startup we register the generator for your manufacturer warranty and start it up. HomeSafe is a Generac PowerPro Premier dealer and a dealer and installer for Kohler and Champion, and warranty registration follows each manufacturer's own process.
Before we leave, we walk you through how to run the generator and what to do if something looks wrong. We also run a power outage simulation. We cut the power and confirm the generator picks up the load, a real transfer test and not just a run test.
An outage is exactly when you find out whether your generator works, so you see it work while we are standing there.
The same simulation is part of every maintenance visit afterward, whether you choose an annual, bi-annual or quarterly plan.
Cameron Williams and Nick Bieghler, HomeSafe's founder, are your point of contact from the visit to the walkthrough. You are not handed between departments. The same company that installs your generator services it afterward, and it services Generac, Kohler, Champion, Briggs and Stratton and Cummins units, including ones another company installed.
Most installs are finished 3 to 5 weeks after the equipment arrives, and the work at your home usually takes one day. Within that, several things set the pace, and not all of them are ours:
When something moves, you hear it from your point of contact, not from a stranger on site.
Maintenance plans run Annual, Bi-Annual and Quarterly, and every visit includes the outage simulation. Emergency service is answered 24/7, every day including holidays. After-hours and emergency rates apply depending on the circumstances, and you are told what they are before a technician is dispatched. Our generator service page lists what a visit covers, and financing is available through Synchrony Financial.
Most installs are finished 3 to 5 weeks after the equipment arrives, and the work at your home usually takes one day. The permit office sets most of that pace, along with the utility, the weather and equipment delivery, and your point of contact tells you each date for your address as it is booked.
No. HomeSafe pulls the permit and schedules the inspection. If the job needs the utility, your point of contact explains what is happening and when.
Cameron Williams or Nick Bieghler. One number, (817) 439-9009, reaches HomeSafe.
It is explained to you and approved in writing before any work on it begins.
Yes. We start it up, register the warranty, and run a power outage simulation so you see it carry the load.
