Portable Generators

While many homes will once again fall under this duress due to electrical power cutoff in the coming cold winter months, others are upping their preparedness with installations of portable or standby generators in the true eventually of the emergency.

Residential standby power systems can actually be permanently installed (by qualified people) outside your home, similar to an air-conditioning unit. They work with a matched UL Listed automatic transfer switch that responds within seconds when utility power is down, supplying electrical power to all pre-selected lights, appliances and equipment, automatically!
