Tell the electrician the generator type and capacity, the circuits you want to back up, and whether wiring already exists. Ask how the proposed changeover prevents unsafe back-feeding and whether the system will be tested under load. Do not connect a generator to household wiring through an improvised plug or cable.

Request a written scope, parts list, and completion checks. Ask who is qualified to carry out and certify the work where required. Browse local service businesses on KobStore and verify the electrician’s suitability and safety process before booking.
