Generator Installation Guide
This guide will provide you with the information you need to be prepared for a quote for your whole home generator installation. When looking in to the whole home option for backup power there are a few things to think about. Does your home have natural gas? This makes the install much more approachable with the gas already at your residence. Generac units operate best when fueled with natural gas. Alternative gas can be used as well but can reduce the ampacity of the unit. How close is your gas meter to your electrical meter? This is something to consider as it can vary the cost as the electrical connections will also need to extend from the meter to the Generator unit. Having natural gas in the home makes for a perfect installation as most of your large appliance like Range, Heat, Water Heater and Potentially your Dryer will no longer need to utilize the generator. This will allow for a smaller unit to be installed or for you to have access to more appliances when in an emergency.

Portable Generator Installation
A portable Generator option is also available. Bellow are a few pictures of some interlock kit installs that make it safe for the homeowner to plug in a 50AMP compatible portable generator. This is a great option to operate some essential appliances and circuits throughout the home during an outage. The interlock kit is installed in a manner to separate your electrical system from the grid. This isolates you from the potential of back feeding the electrical utility lines, keeping our utility workers safe as they work to restore the power. An inlet outlet is installed next to the panel or just adjacent to be able to plug in your inlet chord.
