FAQs
How long does solar installation take in Houston?
Most Houston residential solar installations take four to eight weeks from consultation to activation. The actual rooftop work takes one to two days. The rest of that time is city permits and CenterPoint Energy interconnection approval — both of which PHT handles completely on your behalf.
Do I need a permit for solar panels in Houston?
Yes, and any installer who skips it is putting you at risk. A proper Houston solar install requires a city or county permit and CenterPoint Energy interconnection approval before your system can legally go live. PHT pulls every permit on every job, no exceptions.
How much does solar installation cost in Houston, TX?
Most Houston residential systems cost between $15,000 and $30,000 before incentives. After the 30% federal solar investment tax credit, a $20,000 system effectively costs $14,000. PHT gives you a full line-by-line quote during your free assessment so there are no surprises.
Does PHT handle solar panel removal and reinstallation?
Yes. If you need panels removed for a roof replacement or remodel, PHT handles the full removal, safe storage, and reinstallation once the roofing work is done. We also re-inspect and reactivate the system so everything is back up to code when the panels go back up.
Can Houston solar panels handle hurricanes and hail?
Quality panels with proper racking are rated for winds up to 140 mph and hail up to one inch in diameter. The bigger risk in Houston is a poorly installed roof penetration that lets water in. That is exactly why licensed installation matters more here than anywhere else.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
