Mason Nelms gave a great price for upgrading my 200 Amp service from 20 breakers to 30. He went above and beyond by fixing some issues that were not up to code, and by providing extra parts to make it look good.

From assessing your home's power needs to a final test run, here's what to expect.
We look at your home's electrical panel, load, and where a generator can go, then talk through standby or portable-ready options so you know what fits before any wiring starts.
Our licensed electrician runs the dedicated circuits, connects the transfer switch or standby unit, and ties everything into your panel according to code.
We run the generator through a test cycle, check that power transfers correctly, and show you how to operate and monitor it going forward.
Answers to the questions homeowners ask most about permits, sizing, DIY versus hiring an electrician, and generator installation coverage in our service area.
Q1
Most residential standby generator installs require an electrical permit and an inspection by the local authority having jurisdiction, since the work involves tying a new power source into your home's electrical system. Requirements vary by city and county, so it's worth confirming with your electrician what applies to your specific property before work begins.
Q2
Generator wiring involves connecting a new power source to your home's electrical panel, which is not a safe DIY project, even if you're comfortable with basic electrical work. A licensed electrician sizes the system correctly, wires the transfer switch so it can't backfeed into utility lines, and makes sure the installation meets code, protecting both your home and the utility crews who may be working on the lines during an outage.
Q3
Most standby generator installations require a permit and inspection because the work involves tying into your home's electrical system and sometimes a gas or propane line. Requirements vary by city and county, so it's worth checking with your local building department before work starts. A licensed electrician can tell you what's typically needed for a job like yours and wire everything to code so the inspection goes smoothly.
Q4
Generator installation isn't a DIY-friendly project, especially for standby units that connect directly to your home's panel through a transfer switch. Mistakes here can damage equipment, create fire or shock hazards, or even send power back into utility lines and endanger line workers. A licensed electrician handles the load calculations, wiring, and transfer switch setup so the generator kicks in safely when you need it.
Q5
Yes. Azle Electrical installs generators for homes and light commercial properties in Azle, Fort Worth, Weatherford, and nearby communities. If you're unsure whether your address falls in our service area, just reach out and we can confirm.
Q6
Generator sizing depends on what you want to keep running during an outage, from just the essentials like refrigeration and a few circuits to whole-home coverage including HVAC. An electrician calculates your home's load to recommend a generator size that matches your actual needs instead of guessing from the unit's sticker wattage. Getting the sizing right up front avoids paying for more generator than you need or ending up with one that can't carry your home.
