Why Install a Generator?

Installing a generator keeps your property safe and convenient by providing backup power when outages strike. Homeowners can protect their family’s comfort and daily routines, while businesses avoid disruptions and downtime. Generators keep essential systems—including HVAC equipment, indoor lighting, electrical panels, and vital medical equipment—working during emergencies. A generator also adds value to your property, making it a sound investment. When you work with StarTech Electric, you gain peace of mind and freedom from power worries, no matter what happens outside.

Lakeway’s landscape is beautiful but brings weather that can cause unexpected outages. When a storm hits Central Texas, you stay in control with a generator—while others may lose power. We help you size and select the right generator for your home or business, keeping in mind the local building requirements and your property layout. Our familiarity with Lakeway rules ensures your backup power system meets every requirement for safety and works when you need it most.

Signs You Need to Repair or Replace Your Generator

Knowing when to service your generator helps you avoid outages and maintain safe performance.

Common signs that it may be time for a generator repair or replacement include:

Frequent breakdowns - Repeated issues suggest underlying problems that need professional attention.
Unusual noises - Loud or strange sounds during operation could indicate mechanical wear or damage.
Inconsistent power output - Fluctuating or inadequate power signals a potential malfunction.
Visible damage - Cracks, rust, or other physical deterioration can affect performance and safety.
Excessive fuel consumption - A noticeable increase in fuel usage may point to inefficiencies that require repair.

If your generator shows any of these warning signs, contact StarTech Electric. Our licensed technicians will assess the issue and recommend ways to keep your power supply dependable.

Generators in Lakeway face extra stress from hot summers,-heavy rainfall, and the occasional ice storm that passes through Central Texas. The local climate can shorten equipment life or make backup power systems less reliable. Our electricians suggest scheduling a checkup at the first sign of trouble—especially before the spring storm season, when outages often increase. We review your system’s key parts, including control panels, wiring, and exhaust, so your generator stays safe and dependable in Lakeway.
