- Adding high-load equipment (HVAC, EV charger) and need load management
- Buying/selling a home with “generator not to code” on the inspection list
What’s Included in a Code-Compliant Install
- Load calculation & site survey (panel capacity, essential loads, gas/LP location)
- Transfer equipment: listed manual/automatic transfer switch or UL interlock
- Dedicated wiring & inlet: 30A/50A outdoor inlet, correct conductor size, weather-rated raceways
- Grounding & bonding: neutral handling per manufacturer and NEC 702
- Overcurrent protection matched to generator output and conductors
- Labeling & documentation: directory updates, exterior placards, operating instructions
- Permits & inspection handled end-to-end; coordination with gas/LP contractor as needed
- Start-up testing: simulate outage, verify voltage/frequency, load shed sequence

Pro Recommendations
- Never backfeed via dryer/range outlets—use a listed transfer switch or interlock only.
- Plan for future loads (HVAC/EV); size wiring and transfer gear now, even if the generator is smaller today
- Keep the neutral scheme (bonded vs. floating) exactly per the manual to avoid shocks and nuisance trips.
- Add whole-home surge and verify grounding/bonding—outages often come with surges.
- Add whole-home surge and verify grounding/bonding—outages often come with surges.
- For portables: store fresh fuel, run a monthly exercise, and use cord sets rated for inlet amperage.
