Everything is indeed bigger in Texas, including the threats of hurricanes, tornadoes, and other severe weather that can affect your home\u2019s electricity. If you\u2019re a Texas resident and you haven\u2019t heard of generator interlock kits, you\u2019re going to want to take a closer look!<\/p>\n
A generator interlock kit, also known as a transfer switch, is simply a device that allows a portable generator to power your home during a power outage safely. Although you can use a generator without a transfer switch, it\u2019s cumbersome and often dangerous.<\/p>\n
Interlock kits are safe because they use a metal plate to block your main breaker, preventing it from powering your home while the generator breaker is switched on and vice versa. In the event of a power failure, you would turn off your main breaker and branch circuits and then slide the interlock plate away from your generator breaker. From there, you can individually power as many branch circuits as your generator\u2019s output capacity would allow.<\/p>\n
Interlock kits are indeed approved in the great state of Texas. As long as your transfer switch installation is up to code, it\u2019s not only perfectly allowable but a truly smart addition to your home! It\u2019s vitally important that your kit be installed by professional electricians like our Aaron\u2019s Electrical Service team members, who have the permits and expertise to do so safely.<\/span><\/p>\n The main goal of a transfer switch and interlock kit is to disconnect your home from the utility grid before supplying power with your portable generator. This prevents damage to both your generator and any connected devices when the power comes back on. It also eliminates any chances of backfeeding on your generator, which can injure utility workers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The transfer switch reroutes circuits to another service panel to disconnect from utility power before connecting your generator to those circuits. This can be automatic or manual; they can power your entire house or just a few circuits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 281-719-0464<\/a> or Schedule Service<\/a><\/p>\n Aaron\u2019s Electrical Service provides\u00a0<\/span>transfer switch interlock installation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to Harris County, Fort Bend County, Montgomery County \u2014 The Woodlands, Katy, Cypress, Kingwood, and other surrounding areas.
