Questions

Generators and transfer switches: common questions.

Can I plug my portable generator into the house?

Only through a proper inlet and interlock or transfer switch. Back-feeding without one is dangerous for you and for utility crews.

Generator or battery?

Batteries are quiet and work well with solar; generators run longer on fuel. We can explain which fits how you use power.

How is pricing set?

We quote from the details you send, and visit the site first for larger jobs. You get the scope and price in writing before any work starts.

Do you take small jobs?

Yes. From a single new circuit or fixture to a full service upgrade.
