Generator Hookups in Newcastle: what's different here
Newcastle's newer homes usually have the panel capacity for an EV charger, but adding a heat pump at the same time still calls for a load calculation. Many Newcastle homes have the gas service for a standby generator. We size it, install the transfer switch and handle the permits.
Permits and inspections
A transfer switch or generator inlet is permitted electrical work. Newcastle does not run its own electrical inspections, so electrical permits here go through Washington L&I. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection.
Utilities
Electric service in Newcastle is provided by PSE. For panel, meter and service work we schedule the disconnect and reconnect with the utility for you.

Who issues the permit for generator hookups in Newcastle?
Newcastle does not run its own electrical inspections, so electrical permits here go through Washington L&I. For generator hookups, we apply for the permit, book the inspection, meet the inspector on site, and give you the final sign-off for your records.
Can I plug a portable generator into my Newcastle home?
Only through a transfer switch or interlock. Backfeeding through an outlet can injure PSE line workers. We install inlets and interlocks with a permit from Washington L&I.
