Direct answers, with a link to the full guide where there is more to say.

What is the difference between an interlock kit and a transfer switch?

An interlock kit allows a portable generator to safely feed selected panel circuits manually, while an automatic transfer switch switches power hands-free.

Does Hernando County require permits for standby generator installations?

Yes. Both electrical and gas/mechanical permits are required. We handle all paperwork and inspections directly with the county.

Can a standby generator run on propane if I do not have natural gas?
