The Need for Backup Power
Power outages can throw off your entire routine—whether it’s losing heat in the winter, spoiled food in the fridge, or not being able to charge your phone. A portable generator can be a smart investment to keep your home running when the grid goes down. It powers essential appliances like refrigerators, lights, heating or cooling systems, and medical equipment.
For an even safer and more convenient setup, many homeowners choose to install a GenerLink device, which allows you to connect your generator directly to your home’s electrical system.
Introducing Generlink
Generlink is a state-of-the-art, utility-approved device designed to facilitate safe and seamless connections between your portable generator and your home’s electrical system. Unlike traditional manual transfer switches or risky extension cords, Generlink eliminates the need for messy rewiring or the risk of backfeeding electricity into the utility grid.
Key Benefits of Generlink
Safety – Generlink is engineered with built-in safety features that protect both homeowners and utility workers. It ensures that the generator’s power is isolated from the grid, preventing electrical accidents and power surges.
Convenience – Installing Generlink is a straightforward process, and it offers effortless switching between utility power and generator power. Once the device is installed, during a power outage, simply connect your portable generator to the Generlink device and enjoy a continuous power supply.
Versatility – Generlink is compatible with a wide range of portable generators, making it a flexible solution for homeowners. Whether you have a gasoline, propane, or diesel generator, Generlink can accommodate it.
Cost-Effective – Traditional methods of connecting generators to a home’s electrical system often involve expensive rewiring or the purchase of a dedicated standby generator. Generlink eliminates these additional costs, making it an affordable option for homeowners.
Installation Process
Installing Generlink is a relatively straightforward process, although it’s recommended to seek professional assistance to ensure proper installation and compliance with local electrical codes.
