Standby Generator Installation in Nacogdoches & East Texas

When an East Texas storm knocks the power out, a standby generator keeps your lights, refrigerator, AC and well pump running. It starts on its own within seconds, whether you're home or not.

JLC Electrical Contractor Corp. installs whole-home and commercial standby generators across Nacogdoches, Lufkin, Diboll, Center, Tyler and Longview. We install Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton and other major brands, plus manual transfer switches and inlet boxes for portable generators.

What's Included

 

Right-Sized Generator

We do a load calculation on site so you get the right size unit, not more generator than you need.

 

Automatic Transfer Switch

The ATS senses the outage, starts the generator and switches your home over safely, with no back-feed onto utility lines.

 

PVC Conduit Underground

Every underground run goes in PVC conduit, never direct-buried, for a safer install that lasts.

 

Gas & LP Coordination

Gas and LP piping is done by your licensed plumber or propane supplier. We coordinate the schedule with them.

 

Permit, Startup & Testing

Permit and inspection where required, pad setting, startup, full testing and a walkthrough of how your system works.

 

Warranty Handled for You

1-year workmanship warranty, manufacturer warranty on equipment we supply, and Generac warranty registration done by JLC.

Generator FAQ

It depends on what you want to run during an outage. Most homes land between 14kW and 26kW. We do a load calculation on site so you get the right size for your home, not a guess.
Yes, for a standby generator. The ATS senses the outage, starts the generator and switches your home over safely. It also keeps power from back-feeding onto the utility lines, which protects line workers.
Most residential installs take 1 to 2 days once the equipment arrives. We'll give you a clear schedule up front, including any permit and inspection steps in your area.
Gas and LP piping is done by a licensed plumber or your propane supplier. We handle all the electrical work and coordinate timing with them so the job goes smoothly.
Yes. If a full standby system isn't in the budget yet, we can install a manual transfer switch or interlock with an inlet box so you can safely power key circuits from a portable generator. Never back-feed through a dryer outlet.
