Hurricane season in Houston is unpredictable. The time to prepare is now—before the next power outage hits. Homeowners across Pearland, Brookside Village, and nearby neighborhoods are turning to portable generators paired with generator inlets and transfer switches for a safe, seamless backup power solution.
If you're relying on extension cords through windows or power strips during a blackout, it's time to upgrade.
What Is a Generator Inlet?
A generator inlet box is a dedicated outdoor plug installed on your home, typically near the electrical panel. It allows you to connect your portable generator directly to your home's electrical system—without running cords through doors or risking overloads.
With a properly installed inlet, your generator can safely power:
- Refrigerators and freezers
- Central air or portable A/C units
- Medical equipment
- Lighting circuits
- Wi-Fi routers and phones
- Garage door openers
- Sump pumps or well systems
It’s weather-resistant, code-compliant, and a permanent upgrade that adds peace of mind.
Benefits of a Generator Inlet
- Code-Compliant & Permitted Setup
- Prevents Dangerous Backfeeding
- Eliminates Unsafe Extension Cords
- Fast Plug-In When Power Goes Out
- Permanent Weatherproof Connection
- Boosts Home Resale Value
- Meets Insurance & Inspection Guidelines
Once installed, it’s as simple as plugging in and flipping a switch.
Why Homeowners Are Acting Now
With Houston’s hurricane season ramping up, more homeowners are choosing to:
- Avoid being left in the dark

The urgency is real—but the solution is practical. Generator inlet installations are in high demand across Pearland, Brookside Village, and all of Brazoria and Harris Counties.

You’ll get a clean install, clear labeling, and confidence when the next outage hits.
