What is a Generator Plug & Why You Need One?
A generator plug, also called a generator inlet box, is a weatherproof outdoor outlet that allows you to safely connect a portable generator to your home's electrical panel. Paired with a manual transfer switch or interlock kit, it gives you the ability to power critical circuits in your home—like your fridge, lights, Wi-Fi, or medical devices—without running messy cords or risking electrical fires.
Benefits of Installing a Generator Plug with Ovillago
✔️ Safe, Code-Compliant Installation - We use licensed electricians to install every plug according to NEC and local code. No backfeeding. No shortcuts. Just safe, legal backup power.
✔️ Cost-Effective Backup Solution - Avoid the $10,000+ price tag of a whole-home generator system. A generator plug setup costs a fraction of that—while still protecting your essentials.
✔️ Custom Circuit Selection - We’ll work with you to decide which parts of your home get powered—like the kitchen, living room, or internet—based on your generator’s size.
✔️ Discreet, Professional Installation - We ensure your plug is mounted securely, looks clean on your home exterior, and doesn’t interfere with landscaping or accessibility.

The care and extra effort they put into the job was extremely beneficial for me as they neatly cut my hedges to free up the suns’ direct beam on my panels. I would 100% recommend this business.

Ready to Install Your Generator Plug?
Don't wait for the next blackout to leave you scrambling. With Ovillago, getting backup power is as easy as flipping a switch.
Most portable generators between 4,000 – 12,000 watts are compatible with the plugs we install. The generator must have a compatible L14-30 or L14-20 outlet (which most do), and we’ll help verify compatibility before installation. If you don’t already have a generator, we’re happy to recommend one based on your home's energy needs.

What exactly is a generator plug, and how does it work?
No, you do not need a whole-home generator. Our plug installation is designed specifically for portable generators, which are more affordable and flexible. This solution is ideal for homeowners who want emergency backup power for essential appliances without the high cost of installing a full standby system. It’s a reliable, budget-conscious way to prepare your home for outages.
Do I need a whole-home standby generator to use this service?
A generator plug, also called a generator inlet box or transfer switch connection, is an outdoor plug installed on your home that allows you to safely connect a portable generator to your electrical system. Instead of running extension cords through windows or doors, the plug is wired directly into your main electrical panel with a manual transfer switch or interlock kit. This setup lets you power selected circuits (like your fridge, lights, and outlets) during an outage—all from one safe connection.
