Dallas, TX

Dallas puts a strain on the power grid from both directions. Summer heat waves push ERCOT to its limits as air conditioners run around the clock, and winter ice storms, the kind that knocked out power across the state for days in February 2021, can leave homes and businesses without heat in freezing temperatures. Whether you need a residential standby generator, commercial backup power, or ongoing maintenance on equipment you already own, Generator Authority provides installation, repair, and maintenance built around what Dallas actually deals with each year.

Generator Authority is a family-owned, veteran-owned generator company serving Dallas and the greater DFW Metroplex from our Azle, TX headquarters. Owner James “Wes” Johnson founded the company in 2017, and we’ve grown into a Generac PowerPro Premier Dealer, the highest certification tier Generac awards.

Built on Experience You Can Verify

Homeowners and businesses deserve more than a truck with a logo on it. They deserve a contractor who recommends the right system for the property, does the installation correctly the first time, and has the record to prove it. That’s the standard Wes Johnson set when he founded Generator Authority, and it shows in the results: a 4.7-star rating across 305+ Google reviews and a BBB A+ rating since 2023.

Our technicians are factory-trained through Generac, and Generator Authority is licensed under Texas Electrical Contractor License TECL #33662. Customers consistently name our team, Wes, Joey, Daniel, and Chris among them, when describing the specific work done at their property. We also offer financing through Synchrony for larger installations and replacements.

Commercial Generator Installation & Repair

Reliable backup power keeps Dallas businesses open when the grid goes down. Whether you need a new commercial generator installation, a repair on an existing unit, or emergency service, our commercial team works on systems sized for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and multi-tenant properties.

Businesses along the Downtown Dallas and Uptown corridors, where a single outage during a summer heat wave or a winter freeze can mean lost revenue and spoiled inventory, rely on properly sized standby power to keep operations running rather than closing their doors until utility crews restore service.

Residential Generator Installation & Repair

Looking for residential generator installation for your Dallas home? We help you choose the right make and model, handle professional installation, and provide the repair and maintenance that keeps your system ready when severe weather hits.

Established neighborhoods near Lakewood and Preston Hollow often have electrical panels that were never sized for a modern standby generator, something we check and account for before recommending equipment rather than after installation is already underway. Newer construction in North Dallas typically has more headroom, but every home still gets a full site survey before we recommend a system.

Generac Generator Installation

As a Generac PowerPro Premier Dealer, Generator Authority holds the highest dealer status Generac offers, earned through factory training, verified installation quality, and a track record of customer satisfaction. If you’re comparing generator contractors in Dallas, this credential is independently verified by the manufacturer rather than just claimed on a website.

Standby Generators for New Construction

Building or renovating in Dallas? We install standby generators for new construction homes and businesses, coordinating with your builder or general contractor so backup power is planned into the project instead of retrofitted later.

New developments across North Dallas and the surrounding suburbs increasingly build standby power into the plan from the start, particularly after the extended outages Texas saw during recent winter storms made backup power a higher priority for homeowners than it used to be.

Generator Maintenance Service

Routine maintenance is what makes sure your generator actually starts when the power goes out. We offer tiered maintenance plans, Bronze, Silver, and Gold Plus, so Dallas homeowners and businesses can choose the coverage level that fits their equipment and budget, with clear terms and no surprises. You can request service online to ask which plan fits your system.

Getting on a maintenance schedule before summer and before winter means your system is tested and ready before the season that’s most likely to knock out power in the first place, rather than found faulty in the middle of an outage.

Generator Financing

A standby generator is a real investment, and we offer transparent financing options through Synchrony so Dallas homeowners and businesses can move forward without paying the full cost upfront. Feel free to call us at 817-984-3600 or review our financing page to see about current plans and terms.

Frequently Asked Dallas Generator Questions

How often should my generator be serviced in Dallas?

Twice a year works best: once before summer and once before winter. That timing catches issues before the season most likely to cause an outage arrives.

Do I need a permit to install a standby generator in Dallas?

In most cases, yes, electrical and sometimes gas permits are typically required depending on your municipality. We handle that paperwork as part of installation jobs so it’s one less thing on your plate.

My home is in an older Dallas neighborhood. Does that affect my generator options?

It can. Older homes sometimes have electrical panels that weren’t built with a standby generator in mind, and adding one isn’t always a straightforward swap. We evaluate your home’s electrical system before recommending equipment rather than assuming a standard install is the right call.

Why choose Generator Authority?

Wes Johnson founded Generator Authority in 2017 and built the company around a singular focus: standby generators, done right. That focus shows up in the reviews, customers consistently describe thorough site surveys and technicians who explain exactly what they’re doing rather than pushing an upsell.

“My experience with your team was excellent, from start to finish. The installation team of Danny Brooks, Tyler Jensen and Robert Lew were exceptional in how hard they work. The process is a rigorous to say the least. This team made the experience as comfortable for me as they could.

My only upgrade to improve the experience is to have someone clearly explain the time commitment needed by the customer and the number of team members that will be showing up as well as the reps from the city. Thanks”

“I have been very happy with all of my interactions with Generator Authority. While full home systems are expensive, I did get competitive quotes and Generator Authority had the best offer. The installation was done in November 2023 and today was the first day we lost power due the storms overnight. What a relief! Thanks, Generac and Generator Authority!”
- Kevin K.

I highly recommend Generator Authority. Wes and Daniel came out to fix my Generac Generator last Friday night. I was so impressed by Wes and Daniel’s professionalism, knowledge and the speed of the repair. I am one happy customer.
