Top Tech – Installing a Generator Inlet
Our Top Tech electricians are installing a generator inlet, which allows a homeowner to safely power their home using a portable generator during outages.
A generator inlet is an exterior-mounted plug that connects to a manual transfer switch or interlock system, letting the generator feed electricity directly into the home’s electrical panel. This setup:
✅ Prevents dangerous backfeeding into the utility lines
✅ Protects appliances with proper load management
✅ Provides safe, code-compliant backup power
✅ Allows you to run essentials like lights, outlets, refrigerators, medical devices & more
Instead of running extension cords everywhere, the inlet gives a clean, safe, and efficient way to use a generator during storms or power failures.
Top Tech ensures the installation is up to code, properly grounded, and ready for emergencies.
