Licensing and permits
Standby generator installs require electrical (and often gas) permits and a licensed contractor. Transfer switches must be installed to code to protect utility workers.
Tips before you hire
- Size the generator to what you truly need: AC, fridge, medical equipment.
- Never backfeed a portable generator through a dryer outlet. Use a transfer switch or interlock.
- Schedule installs before hurricane season, since lead times jump after storms.
