Entergy named New Caney among the communities hit hardest by Hurricane Beryl in July 2024, and some customers there waited until the following Monday for power. Tropical Storm Imelda in September 2019 put Entergy crews to work in New Caney as well. Living here means planning for outages as a normal part of the calendar.
Wired Electrical & Generators is a Generac Prestige Dealer, family-owned and based at 13910 Alice Road in Tomball since 2005. We are licensed and insured with a BBB A+ rating. We handle design, permits, inspections and the maintenance visits that follow.
What a generator has to handle in New Caney.
Backup for a well and septic home
Many properties around New Caney run on a private well, and a well pump stops when the power does, so an outage means no water as well as no lights. We put the pump on the essential-circuit list when we size the unit. If you have a septic aerator or lift pump, tell us and we will account for that load too.
Flood maps and placement
The East Fork of the San Jacinto River near FM 1485 flooded during Harvey, Imelda and in May 2024. Montgomery County sets elevation requirements for development in or within 100 feet of a mapped special flood hazard area, so we check county floodplain information for your lot before we pick the spot for the pad. A generator sitting where water collects defeats its purpose.
Propane, natural gas and permits
On acreage a propane tank is the usual fuel. Inside newer subdivisions natural gas may be available, and we confirm that before we propose anything. New Caney is unincorporated, so permitting runs through Montgomery County and the utility rather than a city office. Wired pulls what is required and schedules the inspections, generally a few weeks from a signed proposal. In Valley Ranch or any community with an association, we prepare the site plan you need for approval.

Questions we get from New Caney.
Will a generator keep my well running?
Yes, if the pump is included in the load calculation. We note the pump size and starting load and size the generator and transfer switch to handle it.
Is my lot too close to the river?
Not necessarily. Many lots near the East Fork can take a generator with the right elevation and placement. We check your address against county floodplain information before settling on a location.
Natural gas or propane?
That depends on what is available at your property. We confirm gas service where it exists, and where it does 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 yard, then send a written proposal. After you sign, we pull the permits and schedule the installation.
