When Jonie Goss from Leesburg reached out to In Charge Electric, she wanted one thing: a dependable way to keep the lights on when the power goes out. Living in Central Florida, where storms and outages are part of life, she wanted a safe and simple way to power his home using his portable generator — without dealing with messy extension cords or unsafe setups.

That’s where our team stepped in.

The Problem

Jonie had a portable generator sitting in his garage, but no proper way to connect it to her home’s electrical system. During an outage, that meant running cords through doors or windows — a temporary fix that’s not safe or reliable. What she needed was a clean, code-compliant way to power essential circuits in his home directly from her generator.

The Solution

Our licensed electricians, Alex and Zack, installed a 50-amp weatherproof generator inlet beside Jon’s electrical panel and added a Cutler Hammer K-6010 interlock kit to the panel itself.

Together, these two pieces create a seamless connection between the generator and the home’s electrical system — allowing the homeowner to safely switch between utility power and generator power with a simple slide of the interlock plate. No rewiring, no confusion, and most importantly, no backfeeding (which can be extremely dangerous to both the homeowner and utility workers).

Why It Matters

This upgrade gives Jonie and his family complete peace of mind during power outages. The generator inlet provides a convenient, outdoor-rated connection point, while the interlock ensures that power is routed safely and properly through the home’s circuits.

Now, when the lights go out, Jonie can:

Run essential appliances — fridge, lights, outlets, Wi-Fi — without dragging cords around.
Switch to generator power in seconds using her panel interlock.
Know his system meets code and is backed by In Charge Electric’s professional installation and warranty.

It’s the kind of small project that makes a big difference — especially when a storm rolls in.
