GenerLink Installation in Oshawa, ON
Need a practical backup-power option? For GenerLink Installation, Oshawa homeowners can turn to PC Electrical for a safer way to connect a compatible portable generator to their home’s electrical system. We assess your meter and panel, explain how the device works, and help you prepare for outages without routing extension cords through doors or windows at home.
What Does a GenerLink™ Switch Do?
A GenerLink™ transfer switch mounts behind your outdoor electricity meter and provides a designated connection point for a compatible portable generator. During an outage, connect the generator using the approved cord, then use your electrical panel to choose the circuits you need. The device separates your home from the utility supply while generator power is in use, helping reduce the risk of dangerous backfeeding. It also avoids running extension cords through doors or windows.
Why is a GenerLink™ Installation Important?
Outages can disrupt daily routines and essential appliances. A professionally installed GenerLink™ offers a safer, convenient way to use a compatible portable generator at home.
Helps Protect Utility Crews
The GenerLink™ system is designed to prevent generator power from feeding back into the utility grid when installed and operated correctly. This separation helps reduce electrical hazards for utility crews restoring service.
Use Power Where You Need It
Rather than being limited to a small set of hardwired circuits, you can use your home’s existing panel to choose available circuits. Keep essentials like the fridge, lights, or furnace running within generator capacity.
Avoid Extension Cords Through the House
An outdoor meter connection lets you attach the generator outside instead of routing heavy cords through an open window or doorway. This helps keep weather, drafts, and exhaust away from living areas.
Make Use of Your Portable Generator
For many homes, GenerLink™ provides backup-power convenience without the cost of a permanent standby generator. Your electrician can check generator compatibility, service requirements, and safe operating limits before installation.
