Homeowner questions
Is it safe to plug a generator into a dryer outlet?
No. Backfeeding without a transfer switch or interlock is dangerous to you and utility workers. Use a proper inlet and interlock.
What size generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to run. We can help work out your essential loads.
When should I schedule before hurricane season?
As early as possible — demand rises once storms are in the forecast.
