The Mistake Other Installers Make
Central A/C is the single biggest load on a home generator.Size it wrong and the generator shuts down on the hottest day of the year — which, in Comal County, is also the day of the longest outage.
Most New Braunfels generator installers are electricians. They can run the wire and set the transfer switch, but they estimate your A/C load. We don't estimate it — we know it, because we're also your HVAC contractor. We calculate your exact A/C startup amperage and size the generator to carry it without strain. That's the difference between a generator that runs your whole home in July and one that trips trying.
What Every Install Includes
- Free on-site load analysis — exact sizing, A/C startup factored in
- Permit filing with the City of New Braunfels or Comal County
- Generator placement and site prep
- Natural gas or propane fuel line connection — including propane tank coordination for rural Comal County properties
- Automatic transfer switch installation
- Mobile Link monitoring setup, full load test, and owner walkthrough
Why Local Beats the Supercenter
The big-box generator outfit ranking for "New Braunfels" is based in San Antonio and dispatches whoever's free. When you call Moorhead, you reach the Moorhead family — Justin and Levi, who live and work in this area. We pull the permits, coordinate with the utility, do the first service at 25 hours, and we're 20 minutes away when you need maintenance — not an hour out on I-10.
