Done Right Promise
Why it matters
Portable generator power has to be connected the right way.
Backfeeding a home without the right equipment can damage appliances and put utility workers at risk. An interlock is designed to prevent the main breaker and generator breaker from being on at the same time.
Why the promo page recommends an interlock
The source page frames interlocks as the practical middle path: lower cost than standby, less maintenance, compact hardware, and flexible use with many 240V portable generators.
Low maintenance
No permanent generator box, weekly self-tests, monthly fees, or weatherproofing chores.
Portable and flexible
Use a compatible 240V generator for home outages, jobsite power, or other portable needs.
Safe switching
The interlock is designed to prevent unsafe backfeed into utility lines.
Essential-load planning
Choose priorities like fridge, lights, outlets, well equipment, or selected cooling loads.
Fast, permitted installation
Many installs take 2-4 hours, and the team can handle permits and walkthroughs.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask before booking
How does a generator interlock work?
It allows a compatible portable generator to feed selected circuits through the panel while mechanically preventing the main breaker and generator breaker from being on together.
What size generator do I need?
Most homes can cover essentials like lights, fridge, outlets, and sometimes smaller cooling loads with a 7,500 to 10,000 watt generator, but the right size depends on your priorities, panel, and equipment loads.
Can I run my air conditioner?
Sometimes, if the generator and wiring setup support the load. A technician can help determine what can be safely powered.
How long does installation take?
Many interlock kit installs take 2-4 hours. If the panel needs upgrades or a different configuration, the timeline may be longer.
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel?
Not always. If your panel supports an interlock and has room for the generator breaker, the install can often proceed without a panel replacement. If not, the team can review upgrade options.
