Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about our electrical services, licensing, emergency response, and what to expect when working with McLeod Electric.

What type of generator is right for my property?

The appropriate generator setup depends on several factors, including the property, existing electrical system, desired backup coverage, and the equipment or systems you want available during an outage. McLeod Electric can evaluate your electrical needs and help determine an appropriate installation approach rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

Do you install generators for both homes and businesses?

Yes. McLeod Electric provides generator installation for residential and commercial properties throughout San Antonio and South Central Texas. Residential and commercial properties can have very different backup power requirements, so each installation should be planned around the specific electrical system and operational needs of the property.

Can a generator power an entire home or building?

Backup power coverage depends on the generator system, electrical infrastructure, and the loads the system is designed to support. Some installations may be intended to support broader electrical needs, while others prioritize selected systems or equipment. A professional evaluation can help determine an appropriate approach for your property.

Will my electrical panel need to be upgraded for generator installation?

Not every generator installation requires an electrical panel upgrade. McLeod Electric evaluates the existing electrical system, panel equipment, and requirements of the planned generator installation to determine whether additional electrical improvements are appropriate.

What is involved in installing a standby generator?

Generator installation involves more than placing the equipment outside the property. The project may include evaluating the electrical system, planning generator placement and electrical connections, installing transfer equipment, completing required electrical work, and verifying system operation. Additional project requirements can vary depending on the property and generator system.

Why should I install a generator before storm season?

Severe weather and unexpected outages can occur with little warning. Planning backup power before it is urgently needed gives you time to evaluate your property's requirements, determine what you want to keep powered, and complete the installation without making decisions in the middle of an outage or approaching storm.

Don't Wait for the Next Outage to Think About Backup Power

Prepare your home, business, or facility with a professionally installed generator system designed to provide dependable power when you need it most.
