Memorial is about 45 minutes from our Tomball shop, depending on traffic.
Harris County has had two outages that people remember. In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri cut power across the region. In July 2024, Hurricane Beryl left a large share of Houston-area homes without power for days in summer heat. Wired Electrical & Generators is a Generac Prestige Dealer and a family-owned electrician based in Tomball, and we install whole-home standby generators that start on their own when the grid drops.
In Memorial the details matter more than the brand. Large homes, mature trees, tight setbacks and village rules all change where a generator can go and how big it needs to be. Here is how we work through it.
What a generator has to handle in Memorial.
Sizing for large homes with more than one AC system
Bigger Memorial homes often have two or three air conditioning systems, and that is usually what decides the generator size. We add up what you want running in an outage, air conditioning first, then refrigerators, any pool or well equipment, and anything else you name. You see the load calculation instead of a guess, so you know what the unit will and will not carry.
Placement on a tight or wooded lot
Generators need clearance from the house, windows and property lines, and on a wooded lot you also want it away from limbs that come down in a storm. We walk the property with you, pick a spot that meets code and works with the landscaping, and lay out the gas line and electrical run before anything is poured.
Natural gas or propane
Many Memorial streets have natural gas service, which avoids tank refills and fuel deliveries. Where it does not reach, or the meter cannot support a generator, propane is the answer. We check what your address has before we recommend one over the other.
Village rules, HOAs and permits
Each Memorial Village issues its own permits, and some neighborhoods have associations or deed restrictions with their own say on generator placement, noise and screening. Check your rules early. We supply a site plan and the unit's specifications for any application, pull the permit with the office that covers your address and schedule the inspections.

Questions we get from Memorial.
Will Wired handle the permit for my Memorial generator?
Yes. We pull the permit with the office that covers your address, whether that is the City of Houston or one of the Memorial Villages, and we schedule the inspections.
How big a generator does a large Memorial home need?
It depends on what you want running, and above all on how many air conditioners the house has. We add up the load on a free visit and show you the numbers before recommending a size.
Can a generator go on a small or wooded lot?
Often, yes, if it meets clearance rules for the house, windows and property lines. We walk the lot and find a spot that meets code and keeps the unit clear of limbs and landscaping.
Do I need natural gas or propane?
It depends on what your address has. If natural gas reaches your street and the line can support a generator, that is usually simpler. If not, propane is the standard alternative. We confirm which before we recommend either.
Will my association or village allow a standby generator?
We cannot speak for any particular one, and rules differ. Read your guidelines early. We can provide a site plan and unit specifications to include with an application.
