Emergency Back-Up Power Questions, Answered
Common questions from Tacoma and South Sound homeowners about emergency back-up power.
What is the difference between a standby generator and a portable generator interlock?
An automatic standby generator is permanently wired to your home and natural gas/propane line; it turns on automatically within seconds of an outage. A portable interlock kit allows you to plug your existing portable generator into a dedicated exterior inlet box and safely power select circuits from your main breaker panel.
