Is this the right service for you?
Installing a portable generator interlock kit is an affordable and reliable way to prepare for unexpected power outages. If you’re looking for a solution that allows you to safely back-feed power into your home’s electrical system during an emergency, a portable interlock kit could be the perfect fit. Our licensed electricians at Logo Electrical Services will guide you through the process — from choosing the right generator to installing your kit according to code and safety standards.
Still not sure? Contact us today and we’ll help you decide if a portable interlock installation is right for your needs.
Do I really need an electrician to install a portable generator interlock kit?
Yes, absolutely. Installing an interlock kit involves working inside your main electrical panel. To meet code requirements and ensure safety, a licensed electrician should always handle the installation.
What are the benefits of a portable generator interlock kit?
An interlock kit provides a cost-effective way to safely connect a portable generator to your home’s electrical panel. It prevents utility power and generator power from running at the same time, protecting both your home and utility workers during an outage.
Is a portable generator interlock kit safe?
Yes — when properly installed, an interlock kit is a safe solution for backup power. It mechanically locks your main breaker and generator breaker so only one can be active at a time, which prevents dangerous backfeeding into the utility lines.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes! Contact us for a no-obligation quote from one of our licensed electricians.
How much does it cost to install an interlock kit?
The cost varies depending on your existing panel and setup, but it’s significantly more affordable than installing a full standby generator. And for a limited time, we’re offering a free surge protector with any interlock kit installation. It’s a great way to increase safety and protect your devices from unexpected power surges.
Will a portable generator power my entire house?
No. A portable generator typically powers essential circuits like lights, refrigerators, outlets, and HVAC systems (depending on size). Our team will help you plan which circuits to prioritize for your backup power setup.
Do you handle aluminum wiring issues?
Yes! Homes built in the 60s and 70s often have aluminum wiring, which can be a fire hazard. We can retrofit or replace it with modern, copper-safe solutions that meet code.
Does my portable generator need to be a specific size?
Yes. We’ll discuss your power needs and help you select a generator with enough wattage to handle the circuits you want to support. Choosing the correct size ensures efficient and reliable operation during outages.
