Already own a portable generator? An interlock kit and outdoor inlet let you plug it into your panel and power the circuits you choose. No extension cords through the windows.
A proper hookup is more than a cord. Here is what goes into it.
A kit made for your panel that physically keeps the main breaker and the generator breaker from being on at the same time.
A weatherproof inlet mounted outside and sized to your generator, wired back to a dedicated breaker in the panel.
Installed by licensed electricians to current code, with a dedicated breaker and properly sized wiring.
We show you step by step how to switch over to generator power and back, so you are not guessing during an outage.
A photo of the panel and the generator nameplate is usually enough to get started.
You get a flat-rate price for the kit, inlet, and wiring.
We install the interlock and inlet and wire it to your panel.
We test it with you and walk you through the switchover.
Thorough and professional. He communicated consistently throughout the entire process. From the moment I called, I got email and text notifications, appointment reminders, and I was able to ask questions. Chris installed 4 dedicated circuits in my garage and wired in a mini split. I can't recommend CWC Electric enough.
Chris and his team installed a whole house surge protector and two A/C soft starts. Very quick and professional install. Highly recommend him for your electrical needs.
I had a handful of electrical chores I needed tackled. I reached out to CWC based on a neighbor's recommendation. Glad I did. Chris was awesome! Great, honest communication throughout the process. He provided a quote that gave a detailed description of the scope of work to be done. The work was done neatly and in a timely manner. He even cleaned up all of the drywall dust!
Yes, with an interlock kit and an outdoor inlet installed on your panel. It lets you power the circuits you choose through one cord while keeping the generator from feeding back into the utility line. It's a fraction of the cost of a standby system.
Yes, when it is a listed kit made for your panel and installed correctly. The interlock physically prevents the main breaker and the generator breaker from being on together. That is what protects utility line workers and your own equipment.
Whatever the generator can carry. A typical portable handles the refrigerator, freezer, lights, furnace blower, and internet. Large loads such as central air usually need a bigger generator or a standby system.
Most panels have a listed kit, but not all. Kits are specific to the panel brand and model. If there is no listed kit for yours, we will tell you and go over the other options.
