At midday on July 8, 2024, most Entergy Texas outages from Hurricane Beryl were concentrated in four counties, and Walker County was one of them. Four days after landfall, Entergy still had customers out in its Huntsville service area and was working through downed vegetation, poles and wires. In a town surrounded by tall pines, a single falling tree can take out a whole street.
Wired Electrical & Generators is a Generac Prestige Dealer, family-owned, working from 13910 Alice Road in Tomball since 2005. We are licensed and insured and hold a BBB A+ rating. We design the installation, pull the permits, schedule inspections and keep the unit serviced.
What a generator has to handle in Huntsville.
A stronger grid still has trees on it
Entergy Texas supplies power to much of Huntsville. That helps the system as a whole. It does not stop a limb from landing on the line to your house. A standby generator covers the last stretch that the utility cannot.
City limits, county roads and Elkins Lake
Inside Huntsville, the city issues electrical permits through its permits office on State Highway 75 North. Outside the city, Walker County Planning and Development handles development permits and floodplain review. Elkins Lake has an architectural control committee, so a generator pad there needs approval first. Wired prepares the site plan, pulls the permits that apply and schedules the inspections, generally a few weeks from signed proposal.
Fuel and sizing on wooded lots
Some Huntsville addresses have natural gas and many do not, especially out in the county. We confirm service first and propose a propane tank where gas is not available. Sizing starts with a load calculation of your panel, then we decide what stays on: the whole house, or the refrigerator, lights, well pump and one air conditioner.

Questions we get from Huntsville.
Do I need a permit for a generator in Huntsville?
Inside the city, a generator installation goes through the city's electrical permit process. Outside the city, Walker County has its own development review. Wired pulls whatever applies and schedules the inspections.
Can I put a generator in Elkins Lake?
Usually, with approval from the architectural control committee. We prepare the site plan and equipment details for your submission before any work begins.
Natural gas or propane?
It depends on what your address has. Where gas service is available we check that the meter and line can carry the load. Where it is not, we size a propane tank for the run time you want.
How do I get started?
Call (713) 467-1125. We visit to look at your panel, meter and lot, then send a written proposal. After you sign, we handle permits and scheduling.
