Our Process

Four Steps to Safer Backup Power

Generator wiring should be planned around the property, the electrical panel, and the loads that matter most during an outage.

Review the Existing Electrical System

We look at the panel, available breaker space, grounding, existing loads, and the best location for generator equipment.

Choose the Backup Power Approach

We discuss whether an inlet, transfer switch, interlock, selected-load setup, or panel work makes the most sense.

Install the Wiring and Equipment

We install the generator wiring, transfer equipment, inlet, breakers, conduit, labeling, and any related electrical materials.

Test and Explain the Setup

We verify the installation and walk through the basic operation so the system is understandable before an outage happens.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After receiving 4 other quotes, Prevolt’s owner (Kyle) made an offer that was far and away the best estimate I had received. He and his technician (Chris) returned the next day and performed a thorough inspection of the electrical problems in 2 bathrooms. they fixed everything in just over an hour and charged me exactly the price quoted saving me thousands of dollars. These electricians were professional, knowledgeable and communicated well about the issues and how they resolved the problem. Would highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kyle was super responsive, considerate and easy to communicate with. He struck me as very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions patiently. He took the time to really talk through and explain the options and their respective pros and cons very clearly. I’m really glad I called him for help with EV home charging and will definitely call him again the next time I need an electrician.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Right from the initial call I felt I was in good hands. They responded to my request almost immediately, offered to go above and beyond and try to squeeze me in at the end of that same day. Crew could not have been more pleasant and professional, we ended up needing the Electric Co. to come fix their end (I had already placed call the day before),  they had them there within an hour and hung out until I was whole. Could not have been a better experience, highly recommend these guys!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kyle was amazing, we are first time new homeowners so navigating all the different people to call for things can be so stressful. We were able to schedule our service for a dryer outlet installation quickly and it was done within the week. When Kyle got here he was happy to be helping us and didn’t judge one bit for our messy house caused by sewage issues. We also loved the fact that he didn’t cut into any walls for the outlet to be installed. He only drilled one hole in the floor and the outlet box was near the floor, that was amazing for us because we didn’t need to repair any drywall or paint anything. Highly recommend prevolt if you have any electrical needs. 10/10 service.

Generator Installation FAQs

Questions About Generator Wiring in Avon, CT

Common questions about safe backup power wiring, transfer equipment, and generator inlet installation.

Do I need a transfer switch or interlock for a generator?

›

A generator connection needs a safe transfer method so generator power cannot backfeed the utility system. Depending on the panel and the project, this may involve a transfer switch, an interlock kit, or another approved setup.

Can Prevolt install a portable generator inlet?

›

Yes. We install generator inlet boxes and related wiring so a portable generator can be connected more safely than using temporary extension cords through the home.

Can my generator power the whole house?

›

That depends on generator size, electrical load, panel condition, and the equipment installed. Many homeowners choose an essential-load approach instead of trying to power every circuit.

Will my electrical panel need upgrades?

›

Sometimes. If the panel lacks breaker space, has outdated equipment, or has existing safety concerns, panel corrections or upgrades may be recommended before adding generator wiring.

Does Prevolt service generators?

›

Prevolt Electric handles the electrical wiring side of generator work. Engine service, fuel-system service, and manufacturer-specific generator maintenance may require the generator manufacturer, dealer, or qualified equipment service provider.
