 GenerLink Transfer Switches: Safety & Convenience
Standby generators are helpful during outages, but if connected improperly they can send electricity onto the power lines, seriously injuring or killing our linemen who are working to restore power.
A GenerLink Transfer Switch keeps your generator from energizing the power lines. It also makes using a standby generator more convenient, allowing you to operating lighting and appliances much liek when the power is on.
We offer GenerLink Transfer Switch service for $7.95 a month. GenerLink can be installed by a PUD serviceman in about an hour.
To learn more about GenerLink, contact our Energy Experts at (503) 366-5470 or experts@crpud.org. |
