How Mark’s Whole-House Generator Brings Peace of Mind During East Texas Outages

We’re back with the fourth installment of our Real Stories from East Texas Homes Powered Through Outages series! Today, we’re spotlighting Mark, a resident of Kilgore, Texas, who decided to invest in a whole-house generator for the peace of mind that comes from never having to worry about power outages again.

After researching his options, Mark chose a Briggs & Stratton PowerProtect 26 kW Home Standby Generator from MALL Energy Home, who also handled the entire installation.


Working directly with the owner, Kendall Archer, Mark was impressed by how thorough the process was from start to finish. “Kendall was very informative,” Mark shared. “He came out, looked at what power I need, and set me up with the appropriate generator—the kilowatts for this household to run 100% of all the appliances, the air conditioner, the heater.”

For Mark, who holds high standards for anyone working on his property, the installation process was a relief.


“The setup was flawless. The people that came out to install it were all on time and did a great job. The different tradesmen did a really good job,” he said, adding, “I’m very picky about who works on my things at my house.”


Mark was especially impressed by MALL Energy Home’s commitment to customer satisfaction.


“It seems to me that MALL Energy Home goes above and beyond what they need to do to make sure that their clients are pleased with the product,” he noted.


Since installation, his generator has run perfectly, even during bi-annual startup tests, where it operates for 45 minutes to ensure everything is functioning smoothly.


“The peace of mind I get from having this generator… it’s hard to explain the value you get from their service and their attention to detail when your installation is finished, and it actually turns on when the power goes off—it’s a beautiful thing,” Mark concluded.
