The BEST Way To Connect A Generator To Your House - Interlock Kit With Power Inlet Box Install

Video Description

In this video I show you how I installed an interlock kit and 50 amp power inlet box so I can hookup my generator to my house and power it in the event of a power outage. How this is wired would be the same for a 30 amp power inlet box as well. Down here in the South it is not abnormal to get strong thunderstorms and hurricanes that can knock out power for extended periods of time. So it is important that I am able to keep my fridge and freezer on and nice to have our everyday amenities even without utility power. As always, if you don't feel comfortable with electrical projects or don't know where to start, definitely reach out to your local electrician and they can take care of it for you. If you do decide to do it yourself, make sure to consult all local codes and have your installation inspected.
