  • An interlock kit is a device installed on your main breaker within your home or building's electrical panel. This kit's main purpose is to block power from feeding back into the utility lines when your generator is in use and power is restored. Pairing an interlock kit with a portable generator provides a safe and reliable temporary power solution.

  • Interlock kits are specifically designed to disconnect your home from the electrical grid before switching to generator power. This prevents damage to the generator and connected devices when power is restored. It also eliminates the risk of generator back-feed into the utility system, which could endanger workers fixing power lines. The kit uses a simple metal plate to ensure that either the main breaker or the generator breaker is active, but never both at the same time. During an outage, homeowners turn off the main breaker and all branch circuits, then slide the interlock plate to allow the generator breaker to be turned on. They can then gradually reactivate branch circuits to avoid overloading the generator's capacity.

  • Hiring our skilled electrician service team to set up an interlock kit verifies you have a safe and efficient way to use your portable generator as an alternative to a standby generator. With the appropriate industry expertise, interlock kit installation is an affordable and straightforward option for keeping your power on during outages without breaking the bank. If you’d like to learn more about the installation services offered by Mr. Electric of Northwest Houston, we’re happy to help.

What to Expect When Installing a Breaker Interlock Kit

Once the interlock kit is added to your electrical panel, we’ll install a 240-volt receptacle tailored to your generator’s specific configuration and output. This receptacle will come with a compatible cover designed to match your generator’s setup. After we finish installing everything, your breaker box will be ready to connect to your portable generator safely without any additional upgrades.
