Why Choose Inlets and Interlock Kits?
Inlet Installation
A generator inlet is the connection point where your portable generator plugs into your home.
We install:
- Weatherproof inlet boxes with back light to ensure power is being produced by your generator and is feeding your home
- Properly sized wiring for your generator load
- Secure, code-compliant connections
This gives you a clean, reliable way to connect your portable generator.
Interlock Kit Installation
An interlock kit is a critical safety device installed in your electrical panel.
It ensures:
- Your generator and utility power can’t be on at the same time
- Backfeeding (which can be dangerous and illegal) is prevented
- Your system operates safely and within code
Interlock kits are one of the most cost-effective ways to safely connect a portable generator to your home.
What Can You Power?
With a properly installed system, you can run:
- Refrigerators & freezers
- Lighting circuits
- Internet & communication devices
- Garage doors
- Select HVAC systems (depending on generator size and HVAC equipment requirements)
We’ll help you determine what your generator can safely handle.

Every home is different, and the safest way to determine your setup is with a professional evaluation.
