Lubbock weather can test the power grid with summer heat, thunderstorms, winter ice, and high winds. A generator connection gives homeowners a safer plan for keeping essentials running, but the connection must be installed correctly. Improvised cords or backfeeding through an outlet can create fire, equipment, and utility worker hazards.
SR Electric handles the electrical side of generator readiness, including portable generator inlets, manual transfer switches, interlock planning where appropriate, automatic transfer switches, standby generator wiring, load calculations, grounding, bonding, labeling, and startup testing. The right option depends on what you need to power and how hands-off you want the system to be.
We help you separate essential loads from nice-to-have loads so the generator is not overloaded during an outage. Before we leave, the equipment should be labeled clearly and the startup sequence should make sense.
