ABR Electric Partners with Generac to Safeguard North Texas Homes Against Winter Power Outages

When snow and ice hit the Dallas-Fort Worth area, being prepared means more than throwing an extra blanket in the closet. With power outages common during severe winter weather, homeowners in cities such as McKinney (75069, 75070), Frisco (75033, 75034, 75035), Allen (75002, 75013), Plano (75023, 75024, 75075), Richardson (75082, 75080), and surrounding ZIP codes are urged to consider standby backup power – and ABR Electric’s partnership with Generac

McKinney, Texas, United States, 7th Nov 2025  – As winter weather threatens the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, ABR Electric, a leading electrical contractor and certified Generac dealer, is urging North Texas homeowners to take proactive steps to protect their families from potentially dangerous power outages during ice and snow storms.

Why Winter Weather Matters in North Texas

Although Texas may not have the long winters of northern states, the region still faces significant risk during snow or ice storms. Power lines can go down, ice can weigh on infrastructure, and local outages can last hours or even days. For many households that rely on electricity for heating, lighting, internet connectivity and medical-equipment support, a loss of power creates both inconvenience and potential danger.

Recent winter storms have demonstrated the vulnerability of the North Texas power grid. When temperatures plunge and ice accumulates, families without backup power face risks including freezing pipes, spoiled food, loss of medical equipment functionality, and in extreme cases, hypothermia.

How ABR Electric and Generac Protect Your Home

As a certified Generac dealer and installer, ABR Electric brings expertise in backup power solutions to North Texas homeowners. Generac’s home-standby generators are permanently installed outside the house (similar to an A/C unit) and automatically start within seconds of a utility-power failure. Key features include:

• Models ranging from 10 kW up to 28 kW air-cooled units, now including the most powerful air-cooled home standby on the market
• WiFi/cellular monitoring capability (e.g., Mobile Link™) allows homeowners to check generator status on a smartphone or tablet
• TruePower™ technology to deliver clean power (<5% total harmonic distortion) — essential when keeping sensitive electronics running during an outage
• Quiet-Test™ self-test mode: generator periodically exercises itself at lower RPM to maintain readiness without loud noise
• Weather-resistant enclosures and robust engine design (G-Force engine, “Spiny-Lok” cast iron walls) for durability in harsh conditions

What North Texas Homeowners Should Do Now

Homeowners in the North Texas region (including but not limited to ZIP codes 75002, 75013, 75023, 75024, 75033, 75034, 75035, 75069, 75070, 75075, 75080, 75082) should act ahead of the next winter event:

• Contact a local electrician for a free assessment of your home’s backup-power needs (whole-house vs essential circuits)
• Consider fuel options: many Generac models run on natural gas or liquid propane (LP) for seamless operation during cold weather
• Professional installation: A certified technician  can set up proper transfer switch wiring so the generator automatically engages when the grid fails
• Budget and schedule installation now — cold weather installations can be delayed by demand or weather logistics
• Annual maintenance: a local electrician can  provide ongoing service to ensure your unit is ready when a storm hits
•
