Houston business owners: How much does ONE day without power cost you? 🤔
For my restaurant = $8K in spoiled food + lost sales + pissed customers who went to competitors.
Never again.
Just got our commercial generator installed by Energy Store Consulting. Here's what I learned:
Sizing is EVERYTHING. Too small = fails under load. Too big = wasted money. Pros calculate your actual needs + 20% for growth.
Fuel options:
🔥 Natural gas (convenient, but lines can fail)
🔥 Propane (stored on-site, 1-2 weeks power)
🔥 Diesel (most power, needs maintenance)
We went propane. Harvey taught us gas lines depressurize.
Installation is NO JOKE. Permits, concrete pad, transfer switch, exhaust, electrical integration. Took 3 days. Crew handled everything.
Cost: $22K. Protected revenue per outage: $50K+. Pays for itself in one hurricane season.
Houston-specific stuff they handled:
✅ Flood elevation (we're near bayou)
✅ Hurricane wind ratings
✅ Noise compliance (shopping center location)
✅ Heat management (August is brutal)
