He wanted a 50-amp inlet installed so he could plug in his portable generator during a power outage.
We walked the outside of the house with him and put the inlet where it would be easiest to use in an outage.
Which interlock to use. Interlocks are made for specific panel brands and models, so we identified the panel on site before fitting the correct one.
A written price for the inlet and the matching interlock.
He went ahead with the inlet and interlock.
Why the interlock matters: it physically stops the main breaker and the generator breaker from being on at the same time, so generator power can't feed back onto the utility lines, where line crews may be working.
