Call (815) 456-4349Can my panel handle an EV charger?
It depends on your service size and what else runs at the same time. A load calculation answers it. Some homes need a panel upgrade, others can use a smaller circuit or a load management device.
Is it safe to plug a generator into a wall outlet?
No. Backfeeding through an outlet can energize utility lines and injure lineworkers. A generator must connect through a transfer switch or approved interlock installed by a licensed electrician.
