What Is a Generator Inlet?

A generator inlet is a dedicated power connection installed on your home that allows you to safely plug in a portable generator.

When paired with an interlock kit, it allows you to power selected circuits in your home without using extension cords or unsafe backfeeding methods.

This setup provides a cleaner, safer, and more reliable way to keep essential systems running during outages.

What’s Included in Generator Inlet Installation

Our generator inlet installations are designed for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Services include:

• Installation of a generator inlet (30A or 50A)

• Dedicated circuit from the panel to the inlet location

• Installation of an interlock kit or approved transfer method

• Proper grounding and bonding

• Weatherproof exterior installation

• System labeling and operation guidance

• Testing to ensure safe operation

We install systems that are simple to operate and built to perform when you need them most.

Interlock Kits vs Transfer Switches

Most residential generator inlet systems use an interlock kit, which allows you to safely switch between utility power and generator power at your main panel.

Benefits of an interlock system include:

• Cost-effective solution

• Uses your existing panel

• Powers multiple circuits in your home

• Simple and reliable operation

If your setup requires a different solution, we can help determine the best option for your home.

Improper installation can lead to backfeeding, equipment damage, or dangerous conditions for utility workers and your home.
