Stack Electric Home Backup Power Centre
Start with what your home needs to keep running when the power goes out.
Residential backup power is not one-size-fits-all.
During an outage, the priorities can extend well beyond
keeping the lights on. Depending on the home and the selected
backup system, important loads can include heating equipment,
refrigeration, sump pumps, home automation systems, security
systems, communications and medical equipment.
Stack Electric evaluates the required electrical load,
existing service equipment, breaker panels, transfer equipment
and the level of backup coverage the homeowner wants before
recommending a system.
Generac Home Generator Showroom
Generac residential standby generators from 10 kW through 28 kW.
Stack Electric supplies and installs Generac standby
generator systems for residential backup-power applications.
Generator capacity should be selected from the electrical
loads the home needs available during an outage rather
than from square footage alone.
Depending on the system design, those loads may include
heating, refrigeration, sump pumps, security systems,
home automation, communications and medical equipment.

Portable Generator Backup for the Home
GenerLink™ connects a compatible portable generator to the home’s electrical system.
GenerLink is a socket-mounted transfer switch designed to
deliver portable-generator power through the home’s breaker
panel while isolating the utility supply.
Kevin Explains GenerLink
See the GenerLink system explained by Stack Electric
in this popular product video.
Backup power without running extension cords throughout the home.
The GenerLink transfer switch is installed at an appropriate
meter configuration and connects to a portable generator
using the proprietary GenerLok power cable.
During an outage, the homeowner can manage compatible
electrical loads from the existing breaker panel within
the capacity of the portable generator and GenerLink system.

GenerLok™ Power Cables
The GenerLok cable connects the portable generator to GenerLink.
30A GenerLok Cable
L14-30 locking generator connection for the
30-amp GenerLink system.
Cable lengths are available to accommodate the
required portable-generator location.
40A GenerLok Cable
14-50 straight-blade generator connection for
the 40-amp GenerLink system.
The generator, cord and transfer-switch configuration
need to be selected as a compatible system.
Compatibility must be confirmed before installation.
Not every portable generator works with GenerLink.
Generator wattage, voltage, plug configuration, GFCI
configuration, electrical service, meter configuration
and applicable utility requirements all need to be considered.
Prepare Before the Next Outage
Home backup power is most useful when it is already in place before the storm arrives.
Ice, wind, snow and utility interruptions can leave a home
without electricity when heating, refrigeration, sump pumps,
security systems, home automation, communications and other
important systems matter most.
Stack Electric offers two residential approaches:
automatic Generac standby generators and GenerLink
systems for compatible portable generators.
- Generac automatic home standby generators
- GenerLink portable-generator transfer systems
- Home electrical load assessment
- Transfer-system integration
- Planning for important household loads

Home Generator Buying Questions
Residential generator sales and installation FAQ.
What home systems can backup power support?
Depending on generator capacity, transfer equipment and the
home’s electrical configuration, planned backup loads can
include heating equipment, refrigerators and freezers,
sump pumps, home automation systems, security systems,
communications equipment, lighting and selected medical equipment.
What size Generac generator do I need for my home?
Generator size depends on the electrical loads you want
available during an outage. Stack Electric can review the
expected load, existing service and backup objectives before
selecting a generator capacity.
What Generac home generator sizes are available?
Generac’s residential standby range includes
10, 14, 18, 22, 24, 26 and 28 kW models, providing
different capacity options for residential backup-power needs.
Does Stack Electric sell and install Generac home generators?
Yes. Stack Electric provides Generac standby-generator
supply and professional electrical installation for
residential applications.
What is the difference between Generac and GenerLink?
Generac standby generators are permanently installed
generator systems that can provide automatic home backup
power. GenerLink is a transfer switch used with a compatible
portable generator.
What GenerLink models are available?
Current configurations include MA23-N and MA23-S for
compatible generators up to 7,200 watts continuous,
and MA24-N and MA24-S for compatible generators up
to 9,600 watts continuous. The S versions include
surge protection.
Will any portable generator work with GenerLink?
No. Compatibility depends on generator wattage,
voltage, plug configuration, GFCI configuration and
other equipment requirements.
Does GenerLink prevent generator backfeed?
GenerLink uses a break-before-make transfer design
that isolates the utility supply before generator
power is delivered to the home’s electrical system.
Can GenerLink power hardwired equipment in the home?
GenerLink provides access to the home’s breaker panel,
allowing compatible hardwired loads such as pumps,
lighting and other circuits to be used within the
available generator capacity.
Will I need an electrical panel upgrade?
Not necessarily. Stack Electric first evaluates the
existing residential service and panel. Some installations
can use the existing electrical infrastructure while
others may require modifications or upgrades.
Where does Stack Electric install home generator systems?
Stack Electric serves Hamilton, Burlington, Ancaster,
Stoney Creek, Waterdown, Dundas, Flamborough and Grimsby.
