The GenerLink is installed behind an electric meter in typically less than 30 minutes. It provides a pathway for generator power to connect to the entire breaker panel of the home, allowing you to choose which appliances to run directly from the panel. In contrast, traditional transfer switches usually limit you to 6-8 circuits and may require home rewiring.

The GenerLink provides a secure, convenient, and effective method for linking a generator to your entire breaker panel, eliminating the need for extension cords, manual switches, or home rewiring.
