HOUSTON – In a fast-growing city like Fulshear, where hurricane season and severe weather are becoming part of modern life, more homeowners are rethinking what it means to feel prepared.
For homeowner Mike Aguilar, that preparation came in the form of a whole-home generator installed by GenPro — a decision he says completely changed the way his family experiences power outages.
Houston Life’s Melanie Camp visited Aguilar’s home in Fulshear to see how life has changed one year after installation.
Before making the switch, Aguilar says outages often meant dragging out a portable generator, managing multiple extension cords, and navigating the stress that came with trying to keep essential appliances running during storms.
For more than a decade, that was simply the routine.
But as work travel increased, he realized the setup wasn’t practical for his family — especially when he wasn’t home.
“My wife wasn’t going to go out there and mess with all of that,” Aguilar explained, describing the tangle of cables and manual setup required every time the power went out.
Now, he calls his standby generator “the easy button.”
The system turns on automatically during outages, restoring power within seconds and removing the uncertainty that once came with severe weather.
And for Aguilar, the biggest benefit isn’t convenience — it’s peace of mind.
“Having a generator, I’m not at the mercy of anyone,” he said. “I get to have my power when I need it.”
Part of that confidence, he says, comes from knowing the company behind the system is focused entirely on backup power.
At GenPro, generators aren’t just one division of the business — they’re the entire business. The company specializes exclusively in backup power systems, with a large stocked warehouse, dedicated technicians, and teams available around the clock.
Beyond installation, GenPro also performs ongoing routine maintenance and service, helping ensure generators are ready to perform when customers need them most.
It’s a level of support that has become increasingly important for homeowners across the Houston area as population growth, severe weather, and concerns about grid reliability continue to drive interest in backup power solutions.
For Aguilar, the investment ultimately came down to simplicity: fewer worries, less stress, and knowing his home is ready long before the next storm arrives.
