Generator Hookups in Redmond: what's different here
Older Education Hill and Grass Lawn panels were not sized for heat pumps and EV chargers, while newer Overlake construction usually has the capacity built in. In Redmond, generator hookups range from portable-generator inlets to whole-home natural gas standby generators.
Permits and inspections
A transfer switch or generator inlet is permitted electrical work. Redmond runs its own electrical permit and inspection program, so permits for this work go through the City of Redmond rather than Washington L&I (L&I list of cities). We pull the permit and meet the inspector.

Electric service in Redmond is provided by PSE. For panel, meter and service work we schedule the disconnect and reconnect with the utility for you.
