Best Generator for East Texas Weather: What Local Homeowners Should Know

MALL Energy Home • May 5, 2025

When extreme weather rolls through East Texas—bringing heavy storms, high winds, or blazing heat—the last thing you want is to be without power. More homeowners across Longview, Tyler, and the surrounding East Texas region are turning to standby generators to protect their homes and families. But with so many options on the market, a common question comes up:


“What’s the best generator for East Texas weather?”


The honest answer?

There is no one-size-fits-all generator.


The Best Generator Is the One Sized for Your Home

The right standby generator depends on your home size, your energy usage, and what you want to keep powered when the grid goes down. Some homeowners only want to power the essentials—like a refrigerator, lights, and HVAC—while others want their entire home, including appliances and medical devices, to keep running without interruption.


In short:

The best generator is the one that fits your home’s needs—and your budget.


At MALL Energy Home, we help homeowners in East Texas, from towns like Longview to Tyler and beyond, determine the right generator size for their lifestyle and energy demands. We don’t push a one-size solution—we design custom backup power plans for every household.

Why We Only Sell Kohler and Briggs & Stratton Generators

When it comes to standby generator installation in East Texas, we only offer Kohler and Briggs & Stratton generators. Why?

Because they’re the most reliable, durable, and well-supported brands on the market. These generators are built to withstand tough Texas conditions and come with some of the best warranties in the industry.


Both brands have proven themselves time and again in the East Texas climate—especially during spring storms and extreme summer heat that often strain our local power grid.

Service Matters: The Best Generator Is One That’s Cared For

Even the best generator won't protect your home if it's not properly maintained and serviced. That’s where MALL Energy Home stands apart.
