Useful guides
5 min readGenerators and transfer switches: powering your house safely during an outagePlugging a generator into a house outlet with a double male-ended cable is dangerous and prohibited: the power flows back into the grid and can kill a line worker. The right way: a transfer switch, or a panel interlock, and an outdoor power inlet, installed by an electrician. Then the essential circuits are chosen based on the generator’s output.Read the guide 5 min readUnderground or overhead service entrance: how to choose for a new house or a service to redoThe utility’s cable arrives either through a mast on the roof (overhead) or through a trench (underground). Overhead is simpler to install; underground is invisible and safe from branches, but needs a trench, conduits and close coordination. The choice depends on the lot, what the utility offers on your street and your priorities.Read the guide 6 min readUpgrading from 100 A to 200 A: when it’s needed and how it goesUpgrading from 100 A to 200 A becomes necessary when the Code’s load calculation exceeds what the service can supply: electric heating, an EV charger, a heat pump, a hot tub. Here is what the calculation counts, the solutions that sometimes avoid the work, what the 2026 Code changes and how it goes, from the request to the utility to the power coming back on.Read the guide
