Generator Hookups & Wiring in St. Clair County

From portable generator inlets to whole-home standby systems — we handle the complete electrical side of your generator installation, safely and to code.

Generator Services We Provide

Whether you need a simple inlet for a portable generator or a full standby system with automatic transfer, we have you covered.

Portable Generator Inlets

Install a dedicated inlet box so you can safely connect a portable generator to your home’s electrical system without extension cords or backfeed hazards.

Interlock Kits

A cost-effective alternative to a full transfer switch. Interlock kits mechanically prevent the main breaker and generator breaker from being on at the same time, keeping utility workers safe.

Transfer Switches

Manual and automatic transfer switches that safely isolate your home from the utility grid when generator power is active. Required for any permanent generator hookup.

Standby Generator Wiring

Full electrical installation for whole-home standby generators — dedicated circuits, conduit runs, automatic transfer switch wiring, and utility coordination.

Load Calculations

We calculate your home or business’s electrical load to help you choose the right generator size and ensure your system can handle the demand safely.

Generator Maintenance & Testing

Periodic testing, load bank testing, and electrical system checks to make sure your generator is ready when you need it most.

Why Proper Generator Wiring Matters

Backfeed is dangerous

Connecting a generator without a proper transfer switch or interlock can send power back onto utility lines, creating a serious hazard for utility workers and neighbors.

Code compliance

Michigan electrical code requires permitted installations for permanent generator hookups. We handle all permits and inspections so your installation is fully compliant.

Right-sized systems

An undersized generator can damage appliances or fail under load. Our load calculations ensure your generator is matched to your actual electrical demand.

Reliability when it counts

A generator that hasn't been tested or maintained may not start when the power goes out. We offer testing and maintenance to keep your system ready.
