Generator service in Random Lake
Couillard Electric's shop is in Random Lake, so generator work in the village and the surrounding towns is close to home. We wire standby generators and the transfer switch that connects them to your panel. For portable generators, we install a power inlet with an interlock or transfer switch, so you aren't running extension cords through a window in January.
The connection matters. We Energies' safety guidance says the only safe way to connect a generator to house wiring is a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician, because it keeps power from back-feeding onto utility lines where crews may be working. Dennis Couillard is a Residential Master Electrician, and we handle the electrical permit as part of the job.
Before winter, read our standby generator winter prep guide or compare portable hookup options. See generator service in Random Lake, or call (262) 618-2851 to request a free estimate.
