FAQs

Why is HEC offering GenerLink to members?

Many members rely on portable generators for backup power during outages. HEC created this program to make it safer and easier for members to connect their generators directly to their homes. GenerLink eliminates risky extension cords and prevents backfeed to the grid.

How is the GenerLink installed?

Since GenerLink units are connected to your electric meter, they must be installed by HEC personnel only. There is a $250 fee for installation service which will be collected separately by HEC.

Which model should I choose?

Choose 30A for portable generators under 8,500 watts and 40A for generators under 10,000 watts. Surge protection is optional for both sizes.

What is your return policy?

New, unused equipment in complete, undamaged packaging may be returned. Customers cover return shipping, and a 15% restocking fee applies.

What are the program terms and conditions?

It is up to you to determine the suitability of a transfer switch for your home/application. General Pacific and HEC make no guarantee of fitness for a particular purpose and disclaim any liability for consequential damages arising out of the use of, or the inability to use the GenerLink transfer switch.
