Generator Hookups
Stay powered through wildfire shut-offs, summer heat, and grid outages.
PSPS public-safety shut-offs and heat-wave outages are part of life in Southern California. We install transfer switches, dedicated circuits, and code-compliant hookups for portable and whole-home standby generators — sized to your home and tested before we leave.
What's included
Manual transfer switches
For portable generators — typically 6 to 10 essential circuits (fridge, lights, HVAC blower, well pump).
Automatic transfer switches
For standby generators — power restores within seconds of an outage, no manual intervention.
Portable generator inlets
Weatherproof exterior inlet boxes for safe, code-compliant portable generator connection.
Whole-home standby installs
Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton — pad installation, fuel line coordination, and electrical tie-in.
Permitting and inspection
Required by every jurisdiction in our service area. We handle it.
Why DKBK for this work
- ★We size the install honestly — no upselling a whole-home unit if a 6-circuit transfer switch covers your essentials.
- ★Tested under simulated outage before we leave so you know it actually works.
- ★Clear documentation: what’s on the generator circuits, what isn’t, and how to start it.
