Will a 22 kW generator run my whole Frisco house?

For many Frisco homes, yes. A 22 kW unit covers full HVAC, kitchen, water heater, and daily appliances in a typical home. Add a second HVAC zone or an EV charger and you may need more. A load calculation confirms it.

Can I just use a portable generator instead?

You can, but it works differently. A portable unit requires manual setup and refueling, and it powers only a few circuits. A standby generator starts on its own within seconds and runs on your gas line. If you travel, or if someone at home cannot manage a portable unit, standby is the safer choice.

Does my Frisco home need a panel upgrade for a generator?

Often not. Homes built in the last ten to fifteen years usually have a 200-amp panel already, which handles a standby generator without modification. Older homes with 100-amp service frequently do need an upgrade. We confirm this at the assessment.

What happens if my generator is undersized?

It trips. The unit carries your running load fine, then your air conditioner tries to start, the surge exceeds capacity, and the generator shuts down. You are left without power during the outage you bought the generator to survive.

How long can a standby generator run during an outage?

As long as fuel holds out. Connected to your natural gas line, a standby unit can run for days. Propane units are limited by tank size.

Replacing a Panel in a Custom Home With Smart Systems

Stonebriar’s custom homes often have systems that run all day and depend on steady power. When we replace your panel, the power goes off for a while. Planning ahead helps those systems come back on the way you expect.

Systems to tell us about:

Whole-home lighting controls
Security and camera systems
AV racks and home networking
Motorized gates or shades

How we plan around them:

We label every circuit, so each system goes back on the right breaker.
We coordinate shutdown and restart timing with your AV or security installer.
Some systems may still need a reset from your installer afterward.

We also plan your gate access ahead of work day, so the crew arrives on time. You can see all of our electrician services for Frisco homes in one place.

Want your systems mapped out before the power goes off? Call us to start planning.
