If you have a portable generator for hurricane season, don't risk dangerous back-feed by plugging it into outlets. Solomon Electric installs generator inlet boxes and interlock kits that safely connect your portable generator to your home's electrical panel—powering selected circuits without exposing utility workers to dangerous back-fed power lines.
Improper portable generator connections are dangerous and illegal. Here's why professional installation matters.
Running extension cords from a generator to individual appliances is inconvenient and limits what you can power. Inlet boxes power your home's existing circuits.
Plugging a generator into an outlet back-feeds power to your panel—and potentially to power lines, electrocuting utility workers. This is illegal and deadly.
Your well pump, central AC, and hard-wired appliances can't use extension cords. Only panel connection powers these critical items.
Don't wait until a storm is approaching. Install proper generator connections before hurricane season so you're ready when power goes out.
Any generator connection without proper transfer mechanism violates electrical code. Insurance may deny claims involving improper generator use.
Properly configured hookup lets you select which circuits receive generator power—prioritizing refrigerator, well pump, and critical needs.
We evaluate your generator's output capacity and determine how many circuits it can safely power—helping you prioritize essential loads.
We identify which circuits you want to power during outages—typically refrigerator, lights, well pump, and a few outlets—based on generator capacity.
We install a weatherproof generator inlet box on your home's exterior with appropriate amperage rating for your generator.
We install either a panel interlock kit (economical) or manual transfer switch (more convenient) that prevents back-feed while enabling generator power.
We test the complete system, demonstrate safe operating procedure, and ensure you understand exactly how to use your generator safely.
Proper interlock systems prevent back-feed that can electrocute utility workers. Your generator powers your home without endangering others.
Connect to your panel to power any circuit—including hard-wired items like well pumps, central AC, and electric water heaters that can't use extension cords.
Professional installation meets electrical code and satisfies insurance requirements. No concerns about improper connections during claims.
Plug in outside, flip the interlock, turn on selected breakers. Much simpler than managing multiple extension cords throughout your home.
If you own a portable generator for hurricane season, you need proper electrical connection—not extension cords or dangerous outlet connections. Solomon Electric installs generator inlet boxes and interlock kits throughout South Florida, providing safe, code-compliant connections that power your home's circuits without back-feed risk.
Plugging a generator into a household outlet creates back-feed—power flowing onto utility lines where workers may be making repairs. This kills utility workers and is illegal. Proper interlock systems physically prevent generator and utility power from being on simultaneously, protecting everyone.
Your well pump, central AC, and hard-wired appliances can't connect to extension cords. Proper generator hookup powers your existing panel circuits—giving you access to these essential systems during outages. Prioritize what matters most with your generator's available capacity.
Don't wait until a storm is approaching. Get your generator hookup installed before hurricane season so you're ready when power goes out. Solomon Electric serves Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and all South Florida communities with professional generator connection installation.
