Richland Hills incorporated in 1950 and built out through the post-war years, and a lot of its homes are still running the electrical service they were built with. That matters for a generator, because the panel is where the install actually starts. HomeSafe handles the panel and the generator together — one licensed team, one quote, no surprise second contractor.

Richland Hills incorporated in 1950 and built out through the post-war years. That means older service panels, smaller lots and tighter clearances between houses than the newer suburbs north of here. All three change how a generator install gets planned — and we plan for them instead of discovering them on install day.
Every installation is handled by a licensed master electrician — which matters more here than almost anywhere, because a fair number of Richland Hills installs involve the panel as well as the generator. Same team, same license, same quote.
One company accountable from first call to final walkthrough. The same crew that sells you the system installs it, permits it, and services it — no coordination gaps, no accountability gaps.
Richland Hills homes are generally more modest than the estate properties further north, and the lots are smaller. That usually points to an air-cooled unit rather than liquid-cooled — and it puts placement and sound near the top of the list, because your neighbor's window may only be a few feet from where the unit sits.
America's #1 generator brand. The air-cooled line is the natural fit for most Richland Hills homes — it covers a full house of this size without the cost or footprint of a liquid-cooled unit. Mobile Link monitoring lets you confirm the weekly exercise cycle ran from your phone.

Engineered for demanding homes. Kohler is worth the step up on a tight Richland Hills lot specifically for how quietly it runs at load — on a 1950s street where houses sit close together, that is a practical consideration and not a luxury one.

Dependable value, with the longest standard warranty of the three brands we carry — 10 years, plus free lifetime technical support. Often the most sensible option for a Richland Hills home where the budget is better spent bringing the electrical service up to date at the same time.

We look at the panel first. On a home of this age we check the service size, the condition of the equipment and whether it can carry a transfer switch as it stands — then we walk the lot for a placement that meets clearance requirements without sitting under a neighbor's window. No obligation, no sales pressure.
Step 02
We pull the City of Richland Hills permits, coordinate the utility work, and handle the full installation — gas line, concrete pad, transfer switch and electrical connection, including the panel or service upgrade if your assessment showed one is needed. One crew, one licensed electrician, start to finish.
Step 03
Annual tune-ups, priority emergency repair, and full warranty service. Richland Hills is close in to our Fort Worth service area, so response times here are among the shortest we run.
Homes here are generally single-story and single-HVAC, which keeps sizing sensible. The variable is usually the electrical service itself — an older panel can limit what you can carry until it is brought up to date, and that is a conversation worth having before you pick a size.
Best for a typical Richland Hills home covering HVAC, kitchen, and the circuits you actually need through an outage.
Best for a larger or updated home, or where you want the whole panel backed up rather than selected circuits.
Best for a home that has been added onto, runs a second HVAC system, or has a shop or pool on the property.
A whole-home generator is a real investment, and if your home needs the electrical service brought up to date at the same time, it is worth doing both in one job rather than twice. Financing options may be available — just ask us when you get your quote. No hard sell, no obligation.
"…The staff was extremely helpful, upfront, professional, very courteous, and very attentive to my needs and concerns. Even though we ran into a snag, in the install, with a problem on my end, with the structure of my home. They were able to remedy the situation to my satisfaction, and safely completed the install."
"…Brice was so helpful with all our questions during the purchasing process. Cameron was great at scheduling and communicating the entire process from gas to electrical to install. Manny was fantastic at making sure we understood everything about our new generator and how everything works during generator school!"
"…From the very beginning, they took the time to thoroughly explain the scope of the work, ensuring we had a clear understanding of the project. What truly stood out was their expertise and problem-solving skills. They navigated the challenge of moving a heavy generator over delicate pool equipment in a narrow space with finesse and precision."

Sometimes, and it is the first thing we check. Homes of this era were built for a fraction of the electrical load a modern household runs, and some panels cannot take a transfer switch as they stand. It does not always mean an upgrade — but if it does, we would rather tell you at the assessment than halfway through the install. We are licensed to do both, so it stays one job and one quote.
Almost always, yes. Standby units need a set clearance from windows, doors and vents, and on a smaller Richland Hills lot that shapes where the unit goes rather than whether you can have one. We work the placement out on site during the assessment, before anything is ordered.
Standby generators run a brief weekly exercise cycle and otherwise only run during an outage — when your neighbors are usually glad someone on the street has power. On the closer lots here, brand choice does make a real difference to noise at load, and we will walk you through that honestly rather than just quoting the cheapest unit.
We do both. Every install is handled by a licensed master electrician, so panel work, service upgrades and the generator itself are all one team and one point of accountability. No handoffs.
Yes. We service all major brands — Generac, Kohler, Champion, Briggs & Stratton and Cummins — regardless of who originally installed them.
