After more than two dozen power outages in Benbrook this year, residents are taking backup power seriously.
One local homeowner has officially decided to install a whole-house generator and is now gathering advice. The community has stepped up, offering experiences, tips, and even contact info to help others weigh their options.
Some wonder if the wave of new residents and growing developments in and around Benbrook are pushing the local grid to its limits. A few have even filed complaints with the Public Utility Commission of Texas, citing unreliable service and limited solutions from Oncor. Tree trimming efforts have ramped up, but outages continue to hit pockets of homes, sometimes skipping entire neighborhoods.
For those exploring alternatives, the choices range from whole-home Generac systems to more affordable generator inlet plugs. If your home runs on natural gas, a Generac might be your best bet. It powers on automatically and runs on existing gas or propane. If you don’t have access to municipal gas, propane tanks can be installed, though it’s an extra step.
For Benbrook residents looking to move forward, here are some vetted local contacts:
- Brighton Electric LLC installs generator inlet plugs and offers more affordable backup options. Call 682-800-7320 or visit azaelelectrical.com.
- Clements Electric is Generac-certified and well-reviewed for full-home generator installations.
- Panther City Electric LLC is another trusted local option. Ask for Mike, a licensed master electrician with deep experience in the area.
- Pocket Electric and Construction, LLC has also performed generator installations in Benbrook neighborhoods.
Whether you opt for a full Generac system or start with a plug-in system, now is a great time to explore backup power options.
Benbrook’s unpredictable outages are no longer just a nuisance. For many, they’re now a reason to take action.
