Plugging a generator into an outlet with an extension cord is dangerous: power can back-feed the grid and electrocute a line worker. A transfer switch isolates your home from the grid.
We install the outdoor inlet and the transfer switch or panel, and choose the essential circuits with you: heating, well pump, fridge, sump pump.
