Whole-Home Confidence: Generator Installations by Radiant

When the grid blinks, your life shouldn’t. A professionally installed Generac standby generator keeps Austin homes cool, connected, and comfortably lit—no extension cords, no scramble, no stress. Radiant’s licensed electricians deliver turnkey generator installations built for Texas weather and Austin living, backed by our Home Comfort Guarantee and flexible financing options. From sizing and permits to startup and training, we handle everything so you can enjoy quiet, automatic backup power that feels less like insurance and more like an upgrade.

Why Generac for Austin Homes

  • Automatic, seamless switchover: An integrated Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) detects an outage and powers designated circuits—or your whole home—in seconds.
  • Right-sized performance: From essential-circuit coverage to whole-home systems, Generac models scale to match your lifestyle and square footage.
  • Built for Texas: Durable enclosures, dependable engines, and weekly self-tests keep your system ready for heatwaves and storm season alike.
  • Quiet & efficient: Smart load management optimizes fuel use and keeps the noise down, even in close-in Austin neighborhoods.

Turnkey Installation, the Radiant Way

  1. In-Home Consultation & Sizing: We review your goals (essentials vs. whole home), survey electrical and gas service, and recommend the right Generac and ATS.
  2. Transparent, Upfront Pricing: A clear, written proposal with options—no guesswork, no surprises.
  3. Permits & Coordination: We handle permits, HOA details, inspections, and coordinate with gas providers and Austin Energy as needed.
  4. Professional Install: Licensed electricians (and licensed plumbers when applicable) set the pad, mount the unit, complete gas/electrical connections, and integrate the ATS—everything to code.
  5. Startup, Testing & Training: We test under load, verify transfer times, and walk you through operation, app monitoring, and maintenance basics.

Whole-Home vs. Essential-Circuit Coverage

Whole-Home: AC, kitchen, laundry, lighting, outlets, office—everything runs like normal. Ideal if comfort, home offices, medical devices, or frequent hosting are priorities.

Essential-Circuit: Powers must-haves like HVAC (or a single system), fridge/freezer, key lighting, Wi-Fi, and select outlets. Budget-friendly, high-impact coverage.

Not sure which path fits? We’ll model your loads, discuss usage patterns, and right-size a system that won’t leave you under- or over-powered.

What “Turnkey” Really Means

  • Site prep: Concrete or composite pad, placement to meet clearances and HOA guidelines.
  • Electrical integration: ATS installation, panel labeling, load management modules if needed.
  • Fuel connection: Natural gas or propane sizing and safe routing; tank options if required.
  • Code & compliance: Work performed to NEC and local codes; inspections scheduled and passed.
  • Documentation: Warranty registration, owner’s packet, and maintenance schedule.

Fuel, Sizing, and Sound—The Quick Guide

  • Fuel: Natural gas = continuous runtime with utility supply; propane = great for properties without NG service (tank-size determines runtime).
  • Common sizes: Essentials often fit in the 14–18 kW range; many whole-home systems land around 20–26 kW. Larger homes or multiple HVAC systems may require more.
  • Noise: Generac’s residential units are neighborhood-friendly and run weekly exercise cycles to ensure readiness.

Backup Power That Adds Real Value

  • Comfort & continuity: HVAC, refrigeration, security systems, and connectivity stay online—no lifestyle interruptions.
  • Home value: Professionally installed whole-home power is a premium feature buyers appreciate.
  • Protection: Avoid food spoilage, protect electronics, and keep sump pumps or medical devices powered without a scramble.

Licensed. Reliable. Guaranteed.

Radiant has served Austin since 1999. Our generator installations are performed by licensed professionals, backed by our Home Comfort Guarantee: we stand behind our workmanship, communicate clearly, and make it right.
