Goal Zero Yeti Home Integration Kit Installation
Goal Zero's Home Integration Kit lets your Yeti power station run a few of your home's essential circuits during an outage. Goal Zero requires it to be installed by a licensed electrician. We do that, with the permit and inspection.
What the Home Integration Kit is
The Yeti Home Integration Kit is a manual transfer switch that mounts next to your breaker panel and connects to your Yeti with a cable. During an outage you turn on the Yeti and flip the selected circuits from line to battery. When the grid returns, you flip them back.
It's built for a small set of essential circuits, not the whole house, and Goal Zero lists which Yeti models it works with. It's only designed for indoor breaker panels, so homes with an outdoor panel need a different approach. We'll confirm that on the site visit.
Choosing your essential circuits
With only a few circuits to work with, picking the right ones matters most. The ones Colorado homeowners usually choose:
- The refrigerator or chest freezer circuit.
- The furnace blower, so a gas furnace can keep running in a winter outage, if the circuit fits the kit.
- Internet and a few outlets in the main living area.
- Hallway and kitchen lighting.
- The garage door opener, especially if it's the main way in and out.
Bigger loads like a well pump, electric range or central air are usually beyond what the kit and a Yeti are built for. If you need those backed up, a larger home battery system is the better fit, and we can talk through it.
What the install involves
- 01
Panel check
We confirm your panel is indoors and compatible and that your Yeti model works with the kit.
- 02

We file the electrical permit with your city or county.
- 03
Installation
We mount the transfer switch, wire your chosen circuits into it and route the connection to where your Yeti will sit.
- 04
Test and walkthrough
We pass inspection and run through switchover with you so it's second nature when the power goes out.
Charging your Yeti with solar
Yeti power stations can charge from solar panels. For longer outages, we can add permanently mounted panels sized to what your Yeti accepts, so you aren't depending on a wall outlet to recharge.
