Questions we get
Do I need a permit for this in The Colony?
Most of this work needs one. Electrical permits here go through the City of The Colony. Older homes can hide past DIY work, so we tell you up front if something we find changes the scope.
Can I just use an extension cord in the dryer outlet?
No. Backfeeding a generator that way is dangerous. An inlet and interlock is the safe way to do it.
Inlet and interlock, or a standby generator?
An inlet and interlock is the most affordable way to back up a home with a portable generator. A standby unit starts by itself in seconds and can run the whole house.
