  • If you are hooking your portable generator up to your panel, you need a transfer switch, either manual or automatic. This device isolates your home's electrical panel from the utility line before your backup generator powers up, preventing dangerous backfeed onto the grid. Our electrical professionals install both 240V and 120V transfer switches rated for your generator's output.

  • We wire a dedicated circuit from your panel to a weatherproof inlet box on the exterior of your home. You plug your portable generator into that inlet, and the transfer switch routes power to the circuits you choose. With this setup, you eliminate the hazard of running extension cords through windows or doors during power outages.

  • Not every circuit needs backup power. Our team evaluates your panel to prioritize refrigerators, sump pumps, furnace controls, and lighting over non-essential electricity loads. We size the generator connection to match your actual power needs, keeping the installation within Jefferson County and Golden electrical code requirements.
