Smart Add‑Ons To Stretch Runtime
Your generator provides limited power, so small upgrades can make a big difference in comfort and efficiency:
Lighting: Upgrade to LEDs and use dimmers to reduce draw while keeping rooms bright. Our lighting team can recommend warm, efficient fixtures for kitchens, family rooms, and outdoor paths.
Controls: Automated lighting scenes and programmable thermostats help you prioritize essentials and trim load during an outage. Many homeowners set schedules so lights come on in key rooms while keeping non‑essential areas off.
How Much Does A Portable Generator Hookup Cost?
The total investment varies by generator size, connection method, panel type, and cable distance. After a quick evaluation, we provide clear, written options so you can choose what fits your goals and budget. We never push add‑ons you do not need, and we are happy to phase work if that helps.
Operating Your Setup Safely
We label everything and give you a simple checklist to follow during an outage. Keep fuel fresh, start the generator outside, plug into the inlet, switch your transfer equipment, then power only the circuits you need. Run cords safely to appliances if you must, and never overload the generator. When utility power returns, follow the shutdown steps in reverse. We can review your plan each season as part of routine electrical maintenance.
Portable Generators Vs. Standby Generators
Portable systems are flexible and budget‑friendly. You store the unit, roll it out, and start it when needed. They are perfect for essentials and short outages. Standby systems live outside like an AC unit and turn on automatically to power more of your home. If your priority is full‑home coverage with zero action required, take a look at our standby generators and we will help you compare.
