California homeowners know the frustration—and risk—of power outages. Between extreme weather, high winds, and grid instability, losing electricity isn’t just inconvenient, it can also be dangerous. From spoiled food and dark nights to loss of heating, cooling, or medical equipment,
a blackout can disrupt daily life.

That’s why more families are turning to generator hookups for reliable backup power. With a properly installed system, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your essential devices stay on when the utility grid goes down.

Options for Generator Backup Power

1. Manual Transfer Switches for Portable Generators
A manual transfer switch lets you safely connect a portable generator to your home’s electrical
system. When the power goes out, you can power critical circuits like your refrigerator, lights,
and outlets without the risk of dangerous backfeeding into the utility lines. This option is
budget-friendly and ideal for homeowners who want targeted backup power.

2. Whole-Home Standby Generators
For maximum protection, consider a whole-home standby generator. These systems
automatically detect an outage and restore power within seconds—keeping your entire home
running without interruption. Standby generators are permanently installed and powered by
natural gas or propane, so there’s no need to refuel during extended outages.

Why Professional Installation Matters

Generator hookups involve high-voltage connections and strict safety codes. A DIY approach can be hazardous and may even void your homeowner’s insurance if not done correctly.
