Why Houston homeowners install standby generators
More than just lights — total home security
A whole-home Generac protects everything that matters, automatically, the moment power goes out.
Remote Work & Online School
Power outages cost you income and your kids' education. A standby generator keeps internet, devices, and office equipment running — automatically.
Medical Devices
CPAP, oxygen concentrators, dialysis machines — these are lifelines. A Generac whole-home generator activates in seconds so there's zero interruption.
Food & Refrigeration
A two-day Houston outage can destroy $500+ in groceries. Keep your refrigerator, freezer, and wine cooler running without a thought.
A/C in Texas Heat
Texas summers hit 100°F+. Without A/C during a summer outage, your home becomes dangerous — especially for the elderly, children, and pets.
Hurricane & Flood Season
After Hurricane Beryl, thousands of Houston homeowners went days without power. Your generator runs on natural gas — even if roads are flooded.
Total Home Protection
Lights, security system, garage doors, sump pump — everything stays on. Your home functions normally while neighbors are in the dark.
BBB A+

“I built Select Generators so Houston families would never feel as unprepared as I did.”
— Tom, Founder
Meet the Owner
Why Tom Built Select Generators
After experiencing the devastating power outages caused by Hurricane Harvey, Houston electrician Tom saw firsthand how vulnerable families can become when the grid fails.
He committed himself to helping homeowners prepare before the next storm—learning how to properly size, safely install, and maintain standby power systems families could depend on.
That mission became Select Generators.
During Hurricane Beryl, when outages spread across Houston and generators were difficult to find, Tom and his team were prepared to help the community. Today, Select Generators has delivered more than 2,000 generators to Houston-area homes and businesses.
For Tom, this has never been about simply selling equipment. It is about protecting families, keeping homes safe and comfortable, and giving people peace of mind when the power goes out.
Built in Houston. Proven through the storms.

Common Questions
Permit timelines vary by city and county — Houston, Katy, Harris County, and Fort Bend County each run their own process. We handle every permit application and inspection on your behalf, start to finish, so you don't have to deal with the city directly.
Modern whole-home units are built to run quietly enough that they're not a disruption to you or your neighbors — most homeowners say they're quieter than they expected, especially compared to older portable generators.
If your neighborhood has an HOA, most require approval before installation. We provide the site plan, equipment specs, and any documentation your HOA needs to review and approve the request, and we build the submission into your project timeline so it doesn't hold up your install.
A whole-home generator is a permanent property improvement — it stays with the home and is often a selling point for buyers, especially after Houston's recent storm seasons.
Maintenance plans start at $39/month, with a higher tier that includes two annual maintenance visits and a full 27-point inspection of your generator and transfer switch.
