Ask us about the options. We'll explain some of the costs in providing the minimum amount of electrical power needed during an outage (also known as "essential loads"). The power estimation for your property is based on essential loads such as; essential lighting and equipment, computers, furnace, refrigerator, etc. Heavier power items such as air conditioners may drain the system and shut it down.

Avoid danger of back-feeding – Use a transfer switch If the generator is not properly wired into the home there is a danger of back-feeding electricity. This is very dangerous and could result in serious injury or death to anyone coming into contact with electric lines while working to restore power in an emergency. To provide this type of installation as safely as possible, a transfer switch must be installed that will break the connection to the electric company’s service when the generator is in use and, similarly, disconnect the generator connection normal power has been restored. This switch is normally located between your home’s main service panel and the power sources. Single phase electric service requires a two pole, double throw switch. Three phase service requires a three pole, double throw switch. Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician and must conform to the National Electric Code. Another good economical solution to a power outage is a portable generator. These are available with sound dampening jackets for quiet operation. Because they give off carbon monoxide, these generators can only be safely used outdoors away from open windows and can never be used in a garage or basement.
A typical portable generator will run about seven hours on a tank of fuel so if you are expecting a long outage, you should have an adequate supply on hand.  An advantage to portable generators is they are very flexible. You can run power anywhere you can run an extension cord. But what you can't do is provide emergency power to a built-in refrigerator or an exhaust fan because there is no accessible power cord. Although a portable generator can produces 3000 watts of power, which is enough to light 30 100 watt light bulbs, this still may not be enough power in a lengthy outage. If you want to operate a microwave, a toaster, and a hair dryer all at the same time, that is about all a portable generator can handle.
