Use the portable generator you already own the safe way: a weatherproof inlet and a transfer switch instead of extension cords through a window.
A portable generator is the most affordable way to have some power in an outage, but only if it is connected safely. Running cords through doors and windows is clumsy, and plugging a generator into a wall outlet can send electricity back onto the utility lines, which is dangerous to line crews and to you.
We install a weatherproof power inlet on the outside of your home and a transfer switch or code-compliant interlock at your panel. You plug in, start the generator outdoors, and power the circuits you chose, safely, in minutes.
No cords through windows, no tripping hazards, no open doors letting weather in.
A transfer switch or interlock isolates your home from the utility so power can never flow backward.
Power the fridge, furnace blower, lights, sump pump and internet, not everything at once.
A great step up from loose cords if a standby generator is not in the plan yet.
The same transfer equipment can often be reused if you move to a standby unit later.
We pull permits so your system is legal, insured and safe.
Flip breakers on a virtual panel and watch your generator or battery load rise, with a warning when you go over.

That practice can energize utility lines and can start fires. Only a transfer switch or approved interlock should connect a generator to home wiring.
Outdoors only, well away from doors, windows and vents. Never in a garage or indoors, even with the door open.
It depends on your generator output. Common inlets support 30 or 50 amps. We match it to your generator and the circuits you want.
In many cases yes. We design it so the work is not wasted if you upgrade.
