A standby generator project is really three trades: gas line sizing and pressure, transfer-switch electrical work, and the unit itself. Splitting that across separate contractors is where budgets and schedules go sideways. Falcon 5 runs the whole scope — load calculation, pad, fuel, wiring, permits, startup — and hands you one written price before any work begins.

What We Handle
Whole-home standby power
Automatic transfer within seconds of an outage — the AC, the fridge, the well pump, and the medical equipment stay on without you touching anything.
Commercial standby systems
Refrigeration, life-safety circuits, and point-of-sale protected through outages, with exercise cycles and documentation your insurer will actually accept.
Gas and electrical under one roof
Fuel line sizing, regulator checks, transfer switch, and panel work are all our scope — no finger-pointing between a plumber and an electrician.
Service, maintenance, and replacement
Annual service, batteries, controllers, and honest repair-vs-replace guidance when an older unit starts skipping its self-tests.

“This guys are 5 stars all the way!! Great price, awesome customer service and fast/reliable. Had emergency water leak during cold storm, roads iced up. No other plumbing services could make it, but these guys came through and fixed me up.”
“Our sink was leaking, so Falcon 5 Plumbing responded to our AHS request for service. The response was almost immediate and our technician came out that day. Within a few hours, we had a new sink installed. He was very professional considerate, and did a great job.”
“New to Waco and lucked out with this company. Had to change out a fuse so we had heat for the ice storm. Great guy and great service!! Highly recommend and will use again if need be.”

Common Questions
What size generator does a Central Texas home need?
It comes down to what you want running during an outage. Essential circuits — refrigeration, some lights, a window of cooling — need far less capacity than whole-home coverage with central air. We run a load calculation on your actual panel instead of guessing from square footage.
Natural gas or propane?
If your street has natural gas service, that is usually the answer — no tank to refill during an extended event. Propane works well outside the gas grid and stores energy on site. Fuel choice changes the line sizing and the install scope, which is why it is part of the assessment.
How often does a standby generator need service?
Annually at minimum, plus attention to the weekly self-test cycle. Batteries and controllers are the quiet failure points — a generator that has been skipping self-tests will not save you during the outage you bought it for.
Is financing available on generator installs?
Yes, on qualifying installations. A standby system is a significant investment, and spreading it out is often the difference between planning the project and gambling on the grid another year.
