What's Driving Generator Installation & Repair Demand in Texas
Winter Storm Uri's February 2021 crisis knocked out power to more than 4.5 million Texas homes and businesses, and at least 300 people were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning statewide, with 19 deaths, largely from running generators and other combustion equipment indoors or too close to the house in a desperate attempt to stay warm. That combination of a documented statewide outage crisis and the real danger of improvised backup power has pushed a growing number of Texas homeowners toward professionally installed standby generators with a properly wired transfer switch, engineered specifically to avoid the exact hazards that made Uri's aftermath so dangerous.
Licensing in Texas: Texas requires a state-issued license for anyone performing electrical work, administered statewide by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) — unlike some states, licensing here isn't left to individual cities. An Electrical Apprentice must be at least 16 and work under a licensed master, journeyman, or residential wireman; a Journeyman Electrician license requires documenting at least 7,000 hours of on-the-job training under a Texas master electrician and passing the TDLR journeyman exam; and a Master Electrician license requires 12,000 hours of training plus at least 2 years already holding a journeyman license, followed by a separate master exam. All Texas electrician licenses are valid for one year and must be renewed annually.
