EV Charger FAQs
Do I need a dedicated circuit for an EV charger?
Most Level 2 EV chargers require a dedicated circuit. Texas Power Generation can inspect your panel and install the proper circuit for safe charging.
Can you install a Tesla Wall Connector?
Yes. We can install Tesla Wall Connectors and other common EV charger brands, depending on your charger model and electrical system.
Do I need a panel upgrade before installing an EV charger?
Not always. We perform a panel assessment and load calculation to determine whether your current panel can safely support the charger.
Can you install EV chargers for businesses?
Yes. We install commercial EV charging stations for offices, retail spaces, fleet operators, property managers, and multi-family communities.
Generator FAQs
What size generator do I need?
The right generator size depends on what you want to power during an outage. We review your electrical loads and backup power goals before recommending a system.
Can a standby generator power my whole home?
Yes, depending on generator size, electrical capacity, and transfer equipment. Some customers choose whole-home backup, while others choose critical-circuit backup.
Do businesses need backup generators?
Many businesses benefit from backup power to support lighting, security, refrigeration, technology, access systems, and essential operations.
Can you prepare my panel for a generator?
Yes. We can install generator-ready panels, transfer switch equipment, and supporting electrical infrastructure.
Panel Upgrade FAQs
What is a heavy up?
A heavy up is an electrical service upgrade that increases the amount of power your property can safely use.
When should I upgrade my electrical panel?
You may need a panel upgrade if you are adding an EV charger, generator, major appliance, remodel, or if your panel is outdated or overloaded.
What are signs of a bad electrical panel?
Frequent breaker trips, burning smells, warm panel surfaces, buzzing sounds, flickering lights, or limited breaker space can indicate a problem.
Emergency Repair FAQs
What should I do if an outlet sparks?
Stop using the outlet and call an electrician. If you see smoke, fire, or immediate danger, call emergency services first.

Partial power loss may be caused by a tripped breaker, damaged circuit, utility issue, or wiring problem. A professional inspection is recommended.
