GenerLink installation in Texas typically takes under 30 minutes when performed by a licensed electrician or utility-approved installer. Unlike traditional transfer switches that require rewiring your electrical panel, GenerLink co
ects directly to your utility meter socket — no internal wiring changes needed. Your installer will remove the meter, slide GenerLink into place, replace the meter, and co
ect your generator inlet. Most Texas homeowners have their system fully operational the same day. Always use a licensed electrician familiar with your local Texas codes and permit requirements.

The right generator size for a Texas home depends on which appliances you need to power during an outage. Texas homeowners dealing with hurricanes and severe storms should prioritize essential loads like HVAC, refrigerator, sump pump, and medical equipment. A 5,000–8,000 watt generator handles most essential loads for an average home, while larger homes or those with electric HVAC may need 10,000+ watts. GenerLink's MA23 model supports up to 7,500 ru
ing watts (30A) and the MA24 supports up to 10,000 ru
ing watts (40A).

Permit requirements vary by county and municipality in Texas. In most cases, a licensed electrician handling the installation will obtain the necessary permits as part of the job. Some Texas utilities require a simple notification rather than a formal permit, while others may require an inspection. We recommend contacting your local building department and your utility company before installation. The installers listed on this page are familiar with Texas permit requirements and can guide you through the process.
With GenerLink and a properly sized generator, Texas homeowners can power the appliances that matter most during hurricanes and severe storms outages. Essential loads typically include refrigerator (400–800W), window AC or furnace fan (500–1,500W), lights (200–400W), phone chargers and electronics (200W), and sump pump (800–1,500W). Higher-capacity models like the MA24-S with surge protection can handle starting loads from central AC units and well pumps. The key is calculating your total load before choosing a generator.
