Things To Keep In Mind If You’re Considering A Portable Generator Interlock Installation

One of the most important things to bear in mind if you opt for a portable generator of any size: Never operate it indoors — and that includes in your garage or basement. Carbon monoxide can easily build up if you operate a generator indoors, and that can be deadly. Place your generator outdoors in a well-ventilated spot for safety. We will provide you with a detailed explanation for the operation of the portable generator system. Including speaking with you about picking the correct generator size. Plus, we’ll take care of the load management while performing the installation.

INSTALLING A PORTABLE GENERATOR FOR BACKUP POWER HAS BECOME THE GO-TO CHOICE FOR HOME AND BUSINESS OWNERS IN THE HOUSTON AREA

Installing a portable generator interlock instead of an automatic standby generator has several advantages:

Affordability: Installing a portable generator for backup power is generally much cheaper than an automatic standby generator system. It involves a one-time purchase of the interlock kit and a portable generator.

Flexibility and Portability: Allows you to use the generator for various purposes beyond home backup power, such as powering tools at a remote site or during a camping trip.

Maintenance: Easier and less costly to maintain. Portable generators generally require less frequent servicing and simpler upkeep.

Installation: Installation is typically simpler and less invasive. An electrician can install the interlock kit relatively quickly and easily.

Space Requirements: Takes up less permanent space since the generator can be stored when not in use.

Fuel Options: Portable generators often offer more flexibility in terms of fuel choice (gasoline, propane, or diesel), making it easier to find fuel during an extended outage.

Usage Control: Gives you more control over when and how the generator is used, as it needs to be manually started and connected.

Portable generators can be a safe and reliable backup power solution when used correctly. It’s essential to follow safety guidelines, perform regular maintenance, and choose a generator that meets your power needs. The licensed and professional electricians here at Logo Electrical Services will make all installations per code, plus we will speak with you and give you the necessary consultation to ensure your portable generator runs safely and smoothly when providing you much needed backup power.
