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.

  • Automatic transfer switch (ATS) installation
  • Manual interlock kits for portable generators

FAQ

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.
