Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at sales@houstonequipmentrepair.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Q: Do I need surge protection if I already have outlet protectors?

Whole-home surge protection at your panel or generator transfer switch provides broader coverage and safeguards all hard-wired and plug-in devices, while outlet protectors only protect specific locations. Combining both is the best way to protect your home.

Q: Can you upgrade my electrical panel for new appliances or EV chargers?

Absolutely. Our licensed electricians evaluate your panel and install upgrades as needed to safely handle modern appliances, EV chargers, and backup power systems.

Q: How long does a residential electrical repair or installation take?

Timing depends on the service. Most panel upgrades, circuit installations, or generator hookups can be completed in a few hours, while more complex projects may require additional time.

AC Soft Start Installation

Reduce electrical load and improve performance during power outages with a professional AC soft start installation from Houston Equipment Repair. Traditional air conditioners draw high surge current when starting up — especially during hot Houston summers — which can strain your generator and reduce available power for other circuits.

An AC soft start device reduces the startup power demand of your air conditioning system, allowing your generator to support it more efficiently and reliably. This results in smoother operation, less strain on your generator, and better overall performance during outages.

Our licensed electricians install and configure soft start solutions safely and to code for homeowners in Tomball, Cypress, The Woodlands, Spring, Magnolia, and Greater Houston. Whether you’re preparing for hurricane season or simply want more dependable backup cooling, AC soft start can be a smart addition to your electrical and generator setup.
