Generator Installation in Seattle

Power outages in the Pacific Northwest are a reality — whether from winter storms, high winds, or utility disruptions. A properly installed generator gives you peace of mind knowing your home's critical systems stay running when the grid goes down. In Charge Home Electric provides professional generator installation services throughout the Greater Seattle area, from simple portable generator hookups to fully automatic whole-home standby systems.

We install the full range of generator connection options to match your needs and budget. Manual interlock kits are the most affordable solution, allowing you to safely back-feed your existing panel from a portable generator through a power inlet box while preventing dangerous backfeed to utility lines. Manual transfer switches provide a dedicated subpanel with pre-selected circuits that you switch over by hand when an outage occurs. For hands-free operation, automatic transfer switches (ATS) detect a power loss and signal your standby generator to start and transfer your home's load automatically — restoring power in seconds without you lifting a finger.

Every generator installation we perform is done to current NEC standards and local codes, including proper grounding, bonding, and backfeed protection. We handle all permitting and inspections, coordinate with your utility if required, and ensure your panel has the capacity to support the generator connection. Whether you already have a generator and need it wired up safely, or you're planning a full standby system, we'll help you choose the right setup and install it professionally.
