GOOD TO KNOW
Generator Installation in Milpitas: questions, answered.
Can I run a portable generator through an extension cord into my panel?
No. Backfeeding without a transfer switch or interlock is dangerous for you and utility crews. HAXX installs the proper equipment.
How big a generator do I need?
That depends on the loads you want to keep running. HAXX sizes it from a load calculation.
Can I plug a generator into an outlet?
No. Back-feeding through an outlet is dangerous for you and for utility workers. Use an inlet with an interlock or a transfer switch.
What size generator do I need?
It depends on the circuits you want to keep powered. HAXX lists your critical loads and sizes the generator to them.
