Generator Interlock Kit Installation Services

Backup Power Solutions for Your Richardson Home

When the power goes out, you need a reliable way to keep your home running. An interlock kit for a generator is one of the safest and most cost-effective ways to connect a portable generator directly to your home’s electrical panel. At All-In-One Electric, our licensed electricians install interlock kits that give you peace of mind and dependable backup power when you need it most.

What is a Generator Interlock Kit?

A generator interlock kit is a small sliding plate installed on your breaker panel that prevents your home from drawing power from both the utility company and a generator at the same time.

Here’s why it matters:

  • Safe & Code-Compliant: Protects utility workers and prevents dangerous back-feeding.

  • Convenient: No messy extension cords – power your home through the breaker panel.

  • Affordable: A cost-effective alternative to a full transfer switch.

  • Reliable: Run essential circuits like lights, fridge, internet, and heating/cooling.

Switching to generator power is simple: turn off the main breaker, slide the interlock into place, and turn on the generator breaker.
