Phoenix, Arizona
A generator is only as safe as its connection. We install transfer equipment so your generator can never backfeed the utility line — the failure that injures line workers and burns out equipment.
Overview
For portable generators, the right answer is an inlet box plus either a small transfer switch or a panel interlock kit — never a suicide cord into a dryer outlet. For standby units, we wire the automatic transfer switch and set up a critical-load panel so the generator carries what matters instead of stalling on the whole house.
In Phoenix, the loads worth protecting are usually the AC or at least a mini-split, the fridge and freezer, well or pool pumps, and a couple of circuits for lights and networking. We size for that, not for a brochure number.
