Portable generator power—wired the safe way.

What an interlock does
A generator interlock is a mechanical safety device installed on certain electrical panels. It prevents the main utility breaker and the generator backfeed breaker from being ON at the same time. That lockout is the whole point: it helps keep generator power from energizing utility lines and keeps your home’s power source selection controlled and intentional.
Interlock system = panel interlock kit + generator inlet (outside plug-in) + dedicated generator breaker + correct wiring + labeling + testing.
Choose the setup that fits your situation
Option 1: Interlock Installation Only
Best for: You already own a portable generator (or plan to buy one yourself).
We handle: Compatibility check, inlet placement, correct breaker/interlock selection, wiring, labeling, testing, and a hands-on walkthrough.
Option 2: Full Interlock Package (Generator Included)
Best for: You want one contractor, one plan, one complete solution.
Includes: Portable generator selection + the complete interlock system installation + startup guidance and safe operating basics.

What we install and verify
- Electrical panel compatibility assessment (space, breaker type, panel model considerations)
- Correct interlock hardware matched to your panel (when compatible)
- Outdoor generator inlet installation (weather-rated, properly located)
- Dedicated generator breaker + correct conductor sizing
- Proper labeling (panel markings + operating labels)
- Operational testing (confirm the interlock functions correctly and panel behavior is as expected)
- Homeowner walkthrough: how to transfer power safely, what loads to avoid, and best practices
Not every panel can accept an interlock. If your panel isn’t compatible, we’ll recommend the safest practical alternative (such as a manual transfer switch or a panel upgrade if needed).
