Generators

Texarkana’s Trusted Source for Commercial Generators

An industrial generator allows businesses to continue regular operations during weather events that can temporarily disable electrical systems. Commercial locations, especially those that experience frequent power outages, should consider investing in an electric power generator to minimize production downtimes and lost revenues.


Artex Electric has over 45 years of experience in performing commercial electric services. Our fully licensed and bonded technicians can help building managers and property owners select the best large commercial generators to suit their power needs. We install, repair and maintain various generator types to ensure that the standby generator is always ready to supply power during an electric outage.

Stay Powered During Outages with a Standby Generator

Choosing the right commercial generator depends on your power needs, fuel preferences, and maintenance goals. Diesel generators are durable, fuel-efficient, and easy to maintain, making them ideal for long-term outages. However, they produce more emissions and noise than natural gas options. Natural gas generators run cleaner and quieter but require more frequent maintenance and burn fuel faster.


At Artex Electric, we help businesses in Texarkana select and install the best standby generator for their facility. Contact us today to learn more about our commercial generator services.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What kind of generator services do you offer?

    We help businesses select, install, maintain and repair commercial-grade standby generators. Whether you’re looking to back up a facility during outages or build in resilience for production, we’ve got you covered. 

  • Why does my business need a standby generator?

    Power interruptions can halt operations, cost money and create safety issues. A good generator ensures your facility stays up and running when the grid goes down.

  • How do I choose the right type of generator?

    We’ll help you assess your power needs (load size, fuel preference, space), talk about diesel vs natural gas, and help you pick a system that fits your facility, budget and operational goals. 

  • What fuel options are available and what are the trade-offs?

     Two big choices:

    • Diesel generators: very durable and fuel-efficient for long run times, but louder and with more emissions.
    • Natural gas generators: cleaner, quieter, often better for indoor or commercial settings, but may need more frequent maintenance.
  • What is involved in the installation process?

    We’ll survey your site, determine best placement, hook up the generator and transfer switch, ensure code-compliance, test the system and train your staff. Then you’re set for reliable backup power.

  • How much maintenance is required?

    Like any major equipment, the generator needs periodic inspections, fuel system checks, battery tests, and load-testing to ensure it’ll work when you need it. Our team handles preventive care so you don’t get caught out.

  • How long will the installation take?

    That depends on the size of the system, location setup and any existing infrastructure. After our assessment we’ll give you a realistic timeline so you can plan accordingly.

  • Can you repair or upgrade my existing generator?

    Yes. Whether your current unit isn’t performing or you want to add capacity or improve control systems, we can repair or upgrade it to meet your business demands. 

  • What is the cost and ROI of installing a business generator?

    Cost varies based on size, fuel type, complexity and site conditions. But the return comes in fewer downtime losses, operational continuity and peace of mind knowing you’re covered. We’ll provide a clear quote upfront.
