Generator Hookups in Renton: what's different here
Cascade and Talbot Hill homes often still have original, undersized panels. Wind storms knock out power in older, tree-lined Renton neighborhoods like Renton Highlands. We install standby generators and portable-generator interlocks so you can run power safely.
Permits and inspections
A transfer switch or generator inlet is permitted electrical work. Renton runs its own electrical permit and inspection program, so permits for this work go through the City of Renton rather than Washington L&I (L&I list of cities). We pull the permit and meet the inspector.
