Portable Generator Inlets & Transfer Equipment

Add a planned generator inlet and compatible transfer equipment for safer portable-generator connections. Available across Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens counties.

The service

Start with a clear assessment.

A generator inlet provides a fixed connection point for a compatible portable generator. The complete setup also needs appropriate transfer equipment so generator power remains separated from utility power and the connection is used as designed.

Reasons to call

  • You rely on extension cords during outages
  • You want selected circuits available from a portable generator
  • The property has no exterior generator connection point
  • You need compatible transfer or interlock equipment
  • An existing generator connection needs assessment

  • Generator inlet location planning
  • Compatible inlet and circuit installation
  • Transfer or interlock equipment as applicable

  • Generator setup review and operating explanation

Electrical safety note: Do not remove panel covers, touch exposed wiring, or continue using equipment that is hot, smoking, arcing, or producing a burning odor. Contact a licensed electrician for diagnosis.

Questions about generator inlets

Useful answers before the work begins.

Why is transfer equipment important?

It keeps generator power separated from utility power, helps prevent dangerous backfeeding, and allows the system to be used as designed.

Does a generator inlet work with every portable generator?

No. Generator output, inlet rating, connecting cable, transfer equipment, and intended loads need to be compatible.
