Portable Generator Hook-Up & Interlock Installation in Connecticut

A generator interlock kit is a mechanical device installed directly on your electrical panel that physically prevents the main utility breaker and the generator breaker from being on at the same time. This eliminates the risk of back-feeding power into the utility grid — protecting both your equipment and utility workers. Paired with a power inlet box installed on the exterior of your home, an interlock kit allows you to connect your portable generator to your home’s wiring using a heavy-duty generator cord. Once connected, you can selectively power circuits in your panel by switching on individual breakers — lights, refrigerator, furnace blower, sump pump — up to the capacity of your portable generator. Miele Electric Power installs interlock kits that are compatible with your existing panel brand and model, pulls the required Connecticut permit, and completes the installation to NEC code standards. A proper permit and inspection protects your homeowner’s insurance coverage and ensures the work is done correctly.
