Estimate

18 kW

Look at a 18 kW unit. Installed (generator + automatic transfer switch + gas hookup + slab + electrical): ~$14,300-$26,300.

Sizing depends on EXACT load, electric vs gas range, electric vs gas water heater, # of AC compressors. A licensed installer should do a real load calc before you buy.

What’s different about this work in Corpus Christi

Building code, soil, and weather facts that change the spec for this category here. Sources: ASCE 7-16 wind maps, TWIA statutory zones, NRCS soil survey, NOAA climate normals.

Wind design
Corpus Christi sits inside the ASCE 7-16 145 mph basic wind speed zone for Risk Category II buildings. Anything that attaches to a building exterior, roofing, siding, soffit, fencing on the wind-loaded side, signage, should spec fasteners and materials rated to that design wind, not the lower inland default.
TWIA windstorm
Corpus Christi is inside the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) coverage area. Any new roofing or window install that wants to keep the TWIA windstorm policy active needs a WPI-8 certificate of compliance from a TDI-approved inspector. Skip the WPI-8 and the next windstorm claim gets denied. The inspection is cheap, the missed claim is not.
Hurricane planning
Corpus Christi sits inside a mandatory hurricane evacuation zone (Tier A per Texas DEM). Anything you build, install, or replace has to assume the next named storm gets the call to evacuate, and the next return visit gets to find it intact or not.

Common questions

Do I need a licensed electrician for a generator?

Yes for non-exempt electrical work in Texas. A standby generator, transfer switch, inlet, or interlock should be installed through a licensed electrical contractor. That protects the house and the utility workers.

What size generator do I need?

It depends on what you want to run. AC, refrigerator, freezer, lights, medical equipment, well pump, and cooking loads all matter. The installer does a load calculation instead of guessing.

Can I use a portable generator safely?

Yes, with the right setup. Use an inlet and interlock or a proper transfer switch. Never backfeed through a dryer outlet, and never run the generator in a garage or near windows.

Can you install before hurricane season?

That is the best time. Once storms enter the Gulf, generator inventory, electricians, gas plumbers, and permit offices all get backed up. Spring and early summer scheduling is much easier.

Does a standby generator need natural gas?

Most run on natural gas or propane. The installer checks meter capacity, gas-line length, regulator setup, and placement. Some homes need gas work before the generator can run correctly.

Where can the generator sit?

Placement has clearance rules for windows, doors, vents, property lines, and flood-prone areas. On Padre Island and bayfront lots, wind, salt air, and storm surge exposure also matter.

Do generators need maintenance?

Yes. Batteries, oil, filters, spark plugs, exercise cycles, and error codes need regular checks. A generator that sits all year without service may fail exactly when the power goes out.

Coastal Bend seasons

Spring (March - May)

Best window for sizing, permitting, and install before hurricane demand spikes.

Summer (June - August)

Outage planning becomes urgent. Heat also makes AC load management important when sizing the generator.

Fall (September - November)

Named storms can create long equipment waits. Maintenance checks are common before late-season Gulf activity.

Winter (December - February)

Good season for planned installs, replacements, and service because storm-demand pressure is lower.
