Consumer Alert

Modernizing Jupiter Homes: Safe Electrical Updates

Electrical issues in Jupiter are often exacerbated by Palm Beach County's high humidity and salt-air environment. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to property damage or safety hazards.

Using Extension Cords Everywhere

Running extension cords from a generator to individual appliances is inconvenient and limits what you can power. Inlet boxes power your home's existing circuits.

Dangerous Back-Feed Risk

Plugging a generator into an outlet back-feeds power to your panel—and potentially to power lines, electrocuting utility workers. This is illegal and deadly.

No Way to Power Hard-Wired Items

Your well pump, central AC, and hard-wired appliances can't use extension cords. Only panel connection powers these critical items.

Hurricane Season Preparation

Don't wait until a storm is approaching. Install proper generator connections before hurricane season so you're ready when power goes out.

Current Setup Violates Code

Any generator connection without proper transfer mechanism violates electrical code. Insurance may deny claims involving improper generator use.

Want to Power Specific Circuits

Properly configured hookup lets you select which circuits receive generator power—prioritizing refrigerator, well pump, and critical needs.

How It Works

How Our Jupiter Portable Generator Hookup Process Works

1

Generator Assessment

We evaluate your generator's output capacity and determine how many circuits it can safely power—helping you prioritize essential loads.

2

Circuit Selection

We identify which circuits you want to power during outages—typically refrigerator, lights, well pump, and a few outlets—based on generator capacity.

3

Inlet Box Installation

We install a weatherproof generator inlet box on your home's exterior with appropriate amperage rating for your generator.

4

Interlock or Transfer Switch

We install either a panel interlock kit (economical) or manual transfer switch (more convenient) that prevents back-feed while enabling generator power.

5

Testing and Training

We test the complete system, demonstrate safe operating procedure, and ensure you understand exactly how to use your generator safely.

Why It Matters

Portable Generator Hookup Benefits for Jupiter Homeowners

Safe for Everyone

Proper interlock systems prevent back-feed that can electrocute utility workers. Your generator powers your home without endangering others.

Power What Matters

Connect to your panel to power any circuit—including hard-wired items like well pumps, central AC, and electric water heaters that can't use extension cords.

Code Compliant

Professional installation meets electrical code and satisfies insurance requirements. No concerns about improper connections during claims.

Convenient Operation

Plug in outside, flip the interlock, turn on selected breakers. Much simpler than managing multiple extension cords throughout your home.

Common Questions

Common Portable Generator Hookup Questions from Jupiter Homeowners

Both prevent back-feed. Interlock kits are plates that mechanically prevent your main breaker and generator breaker from being on simultaneously—more affordable but requires manual breaker operation. Transfer switches are separate panels where you flip circuits between utility and generator—more convenient but higher cost.
It depends on generator size and what you want to run. A typical 7,500-watt generator can power refrigerator, well pump, several lights, and some outlets—but not central AC. We calculate loads and help you select circuits that fit your generator's capacity.
This creates dangerous back-feed—power flows backward through your panel onto utility lines. Utility workers assume downed lines are dead and can be electrocuted by your generator. It's illegal, dangerous, and can damage your equipment when utility power returns.
Inlet box amperage should match your generator's 240V output. A 30-amp inlet is common for mid-size generators (5,000-7,500 watts). Larger generators may need 50-amp inlets. We match inlet size to your specific generator.
Only with a large generator—typically 10,000+ watts for a 3-ton AC system. Most portable generators can't handle central AC startup loads. We calculate whether your generator can handle AC or if you should prioritize other loads.
Generally yes—it's electrical work affecting your panel. Permits ensure proper installation and inspection. We handle permit applications and inspection coordination as part of our standard installation.

Portable Generator Hookup Installation in Jupiter and Palm Beach County SOLVING LOCAL ELECTRICAL CHALLENGES IN JUPITER

If you own a portable generator for hurricane season, you need proper electrical connection—not extension cords or dangerous outlet connections. Solomon Electric installs generator inlet boxes and interlock kits throughout Jupiter and Palm Beach County, providing safe, code-compliant connections that power your home's circuits without back-feed risk. Our licensed electricians perform a complete load calculation before any panel work, ensuring your new panel meets current NEC requirements and has room for future expansion. We use copper bus bars, properly torqued connections, and AFCI/GFCI breakers where required by Florida Building Code.

Stop Dangerous Generator Back-Feed in Jupiter Homes SOLVING LOCAL ELECTRICAL CHALLENGES IN JUPITER

Plugging a generator into a household outlet creates back-feed—power flowing onto utility lines where workers may be making repairs. This kills utility workers and is illegal. Proper interlock systems physically prevent generator and utility power from being on simultaneously, protecting everyone. Jupiter and Palm Beach County's heat and humidity accelerate corrosion inside electrical panels. We inspect for oxidized bus bars, loose connections, and thermal damage that compromise safety. Every panel we install includes proper weather sealing rated for coastal environments.

Power What Extension Cords Can't in Your Jupiter Home SOLVING LOCAL ELECTRICAL CHALLENGES IN JUPITER

Your well pump, central AC, and hard-wired appliances can't connect to extension cords. Proper generator hookup powers your existing panel circuits—giving you access to these essential systems during outages. Prioritize what matters most with your generator's available capacity. Insurance companies increasingly require panel upgrades for policy renewals. Our electricians provide documented before-and-after reports that satisfy insurance requirements, and we coordinate directly with your insurer when needed.

Prepare Generator Hookup Before Hurricane Season in Jupiter and Palm Beach County SOLVING LOCAL ELECTRICAL CHALLENGES IN JUPITER

Don't wait until a storm is approaching. Get your generator hookup installed before hurricane season so you're ready when power goes out. Solomon Electric serves Jupiter, Hollywood, and all Jupiter and Palm Beach County communities with professional generator connection installation.
