Navigating city permits, utility upgrades, and HOA approvals can be the most frustrating part of installing a standby power system. At Current Power Technologies, our 100% turnkey service means we handle all the red tape for you. Here is what you need to know about installing a generator in San Antonio and Houston.

Navigating CenterPoint Energy & Houston Codes

Houston’s unique geography and severe weather require specific installation protocols.

  • Quiet Unit Selection: Shavano Park is a residential community where noise matters. We routinely recommend and install lower-decibel units, including the Generac Protector Series and comparable Kohler options, to ensure your generator operates without disturbing neighbors or violating any community noise expectations.

  • Large-Home Sizing Expertise: The homes in Shavano Park carry real electrical loads — whole-home HVAC, home offices, security systems, and more. We perform a detailed load calculation during your free site visit and size the generator to cover what actually matters to your household, whether that is whole-home backup or a prioritized critical-circuit solution.

  • Turnkey Installations: We manage the entire project in-house: CPS Energy gas coordination, city permits, concrete pad construction, gas plumbing, and final electrical integration. You will not need to hire or manage any outside contractors.

  • Authorized Dealer: As authorized dealers for Generac, Kohler, Cummins, AKSA, and DuroMax, we match the right unit to your home’s load requirements, lot layout, and budget during your free on-site visit.

  • Comprehensive Electrical: Beyond generators, our Master Electricians serve Shavano Park with EV charger installations, panel upgrades, residential rewiring, and commercial electrical maintenance.

Can My Texas HOA Block a Generator?

Many homeowners worry their Homeowners Association will reject their standby generator. The good news is: Texas law protects you. Under Texas Property Code Section 202.019, property owners’ associations generally cannot prohibit you from installing a standby electric generator. While they can regulate the placement and require screening (like fences or shrubs) to hide the unit from the street, they cannot outright deny your right to backup power. Our team will provide the exact engineering specs and noise decibel ratings your HOA architectural committee needs for quick approval.
