GenerLink installation for reliable home backup power

How GenerLink installation works

A GenerLink transfer device is installed at the electrical meter in coordination with the electrical utility. It allows a compatible portable generator to supply selected household loads through the existing electrical panel during an outage, subject to the device rating and generator capacity.

EVB Electric can review your service configuration, generator compatibility, installation requirements and utility coordination before providing a quote.

What we check before installation

• Electrical service and meter configuration
• Local utility acceptance and installation procedure
• Generator output, connector type and cable compatibility
• Transfer device rating, load management and surge protection options
• Applicable permits, inspection and utility scheduling

Generator safety matters

A portable generator must operate outdoors, away from doors, windows and vents, following manufacturer clearance requirements. Never connect a generator to home wiring using a backfeed cord. A properly approved transfer arrangement is essential to protect occupants and utility workers.

Frequently asked questions

Can any generator be used with GenerLink?

No. Generator voltage, output rating, plug configuration and the specific GenerLink model must be checked for compatibility.

Can I power my whole house?

Only within the generator and transfer-device capacity. Large loads may need to remain off during an outage.

Does my utility need to approve the installation?

Utility acceptance and coordination are essential for meter-mounted equipment. We confirm the applicable requirements before scheduling.
