Practical Answers to the Questions Homeowners Ask Most:
Q: Do I really need a professional to install a portable generator hookup?
A: Yes! DIY connections can cause dangerous backfeeding, which threatens linemen’s safety and can damage your electrical system. A licensed electrician ensures your generator is connected properly and up to National Electrical Code standards.
Q: What’s the difference between a transfer switch, a manual switch, and an inlet?
A: Think of it like this—your inlet is the safe outdoor plug where your generator connects. A transfer switch automatically or manually moves certain circuits from utility power to generator power. A manual switch/interlock kit is the simple lever or slider that prevents utility and generator from being on at the same time. Together, they keep your generator hookup safe and user-friendly.
Q: Can a portable generator power my entire home?
A: Usually no—it’s best for essential circuits like your fridge, HVAC, lights, or medical devices. If you want whole-home power, we can discuss standby generator options.
Q: How soon can Mister Sparky of Pearland install a generator hookup in Silvercreek?
A: Most installs usually involve a single appointment less than 3-4 hours depending on permitting. We’ll work with you to get it scheduled quickly.
Q: Will you show me how to use the generator after it’s installed?
A: Of course. We’ll walk you step-by-step on how to connect it, which breakers to flip, and how to safely shut everything down. No guessing—you’ll feel confident using it.
Q: What size generator should I buy for my home?
A: It depends on what you want to power. If you only need the basics (like the fridge, some lights, and Wi-Fi), a smaller unit may be fine. If you want AC, medical equipment, and more circuits running, you’ll need something larger. We’ll help match your generator to your household’s needs.
Q: Is an interlock kit safe and legal?
A: Yes—when installed by a licensed electrician following code. Interlocks are a cost-effective way to use your portable generator without risking backfeed, but they must be installed properly.
Q: What about cords running through windows? Can I skip the inlet?
A: We don’t recommend it. It’s unsafe, inefficient, and not code-compliant. An inlet gives you a permanent, weatherproof connection point outside your home—no more messy extension cords.
Q: Will installing a generator hookup increase my home’s value?
A: Yes, buyers appreciate a home that’s storm-ready. A properly installed generator connection is seen as a safety and convenience upgrade.
Q: Do I have to be home when the generator is installed?
A: Yes, we’ll need access to your electrical panel and to walk you through the setup. Plus, you’ll want to see how easy it is to use once we’re done.
Q: What’s the lifespan of this kind of installation?
A: With proper maintenance, your inlet and switch setup will last for many years. Breakers, switches, and wiring are durable, and we install to last.
Q: How do I know if my home’s electrical panel can handle a generator hookup?
A: Our licensed electricians assess your panel during the installation consultation. We check capacity, breaker space, and wiring to ensure your generator can safely power the circuits you need without overloading your system.
Q: How do I maintain my generator to ensure it works when I need it?
A: Regular oil changes, fuel stabilization, and test runs are key. We provide a simple maintenance checklist and can schedule follow-up inspections if you’d like. Generator maintenance is FREE when you join our club membership!
