Generator Hookup

A generator without a proper transfer switch is a safety hazard, not backup power. We install interlocks and transfer switches so your generator powers your home safely and legally.

Do It Safely

Backfeeding a panel can kill a lineworker. A transfer switch prevents it.

Plugging a generator directly into an outlet or panel without an interlock or transfer switch can backfeed power onto utility lines — a serious safety hazard for utility workers, and it's against code. We install manual transfer switches, interlock kits, or automatic standby transfer switches so your generator powers your home cleanly, safely, and legally.

What's included

  • Generator sizing & load assessment
  • Interlock kit or transfer switch installation
  • Inlet box wiring for portable generators
  • Automatic transfer switch install for standby units
  • Permitting & inspection
Good To Know

Generator hookups, answered

I already have a generator — can you just add the hookup?

Yes, this is one of our most common calls: adding a proper interlock or transfer switch to a generator you already own.

Portable or standby — which is right for me?

Depends on budget and how automatic you want backup to be. We'll walk through both during your quote.
