Portable generator hookups
Not ready for standby? Start with a safe way to connect a portable generator.
A permanent power inlet outside and a panel interlock inside let you use a portable generator without unsafe back-feeding.
Installed $1,200–$1,800
The right equipment at both ends.
We install an outdoor power inlet box and a panel interlock. The interlock makes it physically impossible to turn on utility power and generator power at the same time.
Good fit for
- Occasional outages
- Homes planning for a future standby system
- Homeowners who already own a portable generator
- Critical circuits that need a safer backup option
