A generator hookup gives your portable generator a safe, code-legal way to feed the house. We install an inlet box outside and an interlock or transfer switch at the panel, so the generator can carry your chosen circuits with no chance of backfeeding the lines crews are working on. You pick which circuits matter most, and we size the setup around them.
The right time to do this is a calm week, not the morning after an outage takes the freezer with it. Expect a visit to look at your panel and generator, a half-day install, and a dry run where you practice the switchover with us watching.
