15 years in Houston means we've seen a lot of storm seasons.
The calls that hit hardest aren't from people who ignored backup power entirely.
They're from people who bought a portable generator, figured that was enough, and found out at hour 18 of an outage that running extension cords to a window unit in July humidity isn't a plan.
A whole-home standby system starts automatically. No cords. No fuel runs at midnight. No choosing between the refrigerator and the bedroom AC.
If you're relying on a portable right now, we'd be glad to walk you through what a permanent system would actually cost for your home. No pressure.
