Generator Installation
Standby generator hookups, automatic transfer switches, and interlock kits — so an outage is an inconvenience, not an emergency.
North Carolina storms don't schedule themselves. We install the electrical side of whole-home standby generators — automatic transfer switch, dedicated circuits, and utility-compliant interconnection — as well as budget-friendly interlock kits that let a portable generator backfeed your panel safely and legally.
We'll size the solution to what you actually need to keep running: the whole house, or just the essentials like HVAC, refrigeration, well pump, and medical equipment.
What we handle
- Standby generator electrical hookup and commissioning
- Automatic transfer switch (ATS) installation
- Manual interlock kits for portable generators
- Essential-loads subpanels
- Generator-ready outlet (inlet box) installs
- Permits, inspection, and utility compliance
Common questions
Interlock kit or automatic transfer switch — which do I need?
An interlock kit is the affordable option for a portable generator: you start it and switch over manually. An ATS pairs with a standby generator and switches automatically within seconds, even when you're not home. We'll price both.
Can you install the generator itself?
We handle the complete electrical scope — transfer switch, wiring, panel work, and inspection. For the generator placement, fuel (gas/propane) hookup, we coordinate with your plumber or supplier so the project lands as one finished system.
Is backfeeding my panel with an extension cord really that bad?
Yes. It can kill a line worker and burn out your equipment, and it's illegal. An interlock kit does the same job safely for a modest cost.
