How do I control my home security system when I'm not home?

Through your smartphone app. Once installed, you can arm or disarm your house alarm system, get real-time door contact alerts, and pull up live or recorded camera footage from anywhere — all from your phone.

How many security cameras does my home actually need?

Most Houston homes are well covered with two security cameras at the main entry points. Larger properties with a garage, side yard, or rear access typically need four security cameras for complete coverage. We figure this out during your free on-site consultation.

Is PHT Security a licensed home security company in Houston?

Yes. PHT Security is an ADT-authorized dealer with an A+ BBB rating, serving Houston and surrounding communities including Pearland, League City, Missouri City, and Friendswood. Our technicians are certified and local — not contractors flown in from out of state.

How long does installation take and will it disrupt my day?

Most residential installations are completed in a single visit within a few hours. Our technicians work cleanly and efficiently, and before they leave, they'll walk you through your control panel, smartphone app setup, and every feature of your new home security alarm system.

Can PHT Security upgrade my existing house alarm system?

Absolutely. If you already have an older system installed, our technicians assess what's in place and upgrade the components that need it — new control panel, additional door contacts, extra cameras — without necessarily starting from scratch. We work with what's there and improve it.

FAQs

How much does whole house generator installation cost in Houston, TX?

Whole house generator installation in Houston costs between $3,500 and $15,000 depending on system size and whether a new gas line or transfer switch is needed. A Generac home standby generator for an average Houston home usually falls between $5,000 and $10,000 fully installed. PHT Security gives you a free on-site assessment with a full price breakdown before any work starts so there are no surprises.

What is the best home standby generator for Houston weather conditions?

For Houston’s humidity, hurricane winds, and extended outages the Generac Guardian Series is the top choice. It starts automatically within seconds of a power loss and runs on natural gas or propane through multi-day outages. PHT Security installs Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton systems and helps you choose the right unit based on your actual load, not just your square footage.

Do I need a permit for generator installation in Houston, TX?

Yes. Every permanent standby generator in Houston requires a city electrical permit and a code inspection before it can be legally energized. Skipping the permit creates real liability when you file an insurance claim after a storm. PHT Security pulls every permit on every job and handles the inspection from start to finish so you never chase paperwork.

How long does residential generator installation take in Houston?

Most Houston residential generator installations are completed in one to two days. That covers the pad mount, gas line connection, transfer switch wiring, and full system testing. If a new gas line or panel upgrade is needed it may extend to three days. PHT Security schedules around your availability and keeps you updated every step of the way.

What size generator do I need to power my entire Houston home?

Most Houston homes need a generator between 20kW and 26kW. Homes with multiple AC units, a pool pump, or heavy appliances may need 30kW or more. PHT Security technicians run a full load calculation during your free consultation factoring in your HVAC, appliances, and any medical equipment so your generator is never undersized or oversized.
