Back-Up Power Solutions Package
Back-Up Power Solutions Package
This package provides comprehensive solutions for home backup power, enabling safe and reliable generator connections during power outages. Each tier includes an essential load calculation, customized switch installation, and connection points suited to your specific power needs. Whether ensuring essential circuits stay powered or providing seamless backup for the entire home, this package focuses on safe and code-compliant solutions for backup power access.
1. Load Calculation: Each tier includes a thorough load calculation to determine the necessary power requirements for your home or selected circuits. This ensures proper generator sizing, whether you’re backing up essential circuits or the entire house.
2. Switch Installation:
• For essential backup, a manual interlock switch allows for straightforward connection and disconnection from grid power.
• For partial or whole-home backup, an automatic transfer switch (ATS) is installed to facilitate a seamless switch to generator power during outages.
3. Connection Point Setup: Each package includes the installation of an exterior generator inlet box, providing a safe, dedicated connection point for portable or stationary generators. This setup is customized to handle the anticipated load safely and efficiently.
4. Panel Adjustments: Minor panel adjustments, such as rearranging breakers or upgrading certain circuits, may be performed to accommodate the installation of the interlock or ATS and ensure compliance with local electrical codes.
Additional Considerations
• Permit Costs: Some jurisdictions may require permits for installing ATS or interlock switches, which may add to the final cost.
• Inspections: If local codes mandate inspections, this will be scheduled and managed as part of the service.
• Extra Circuits or Upgrades: Additional fees may apply if there is a need to rearrange or upgrade panels to accommodate the ATS or interlock.
