Standby or portable
A standby generator is installed outside and starts on its own when the power goes out. A portable generator is cheaper but must be run outdoors and connected safely. See standby vs portable generators.
Never backfeed
Plugging a generator into a house outlet (backfeeding) can kill a utility worker or a neighbor and damage your home. A transfer switch or interlock installed by an electrician is the safe way to connect.
Book before storm season
Generator installs often need a permit, a gas connection and HOA approval in some neighborhoods. Planning in spring avoids the rush once storm season starts.
Frequently asked questions
- Can a generator run my whole house?
- It depends on the generator size and what you want to run. An electrician can help you choose between essential circuits and whole-home coverage.
- Where can a portable generator go?
- Always outdoors, well away from doors, windows and vents. Never in a garage, even with the door open — carbon monoxide can kill.
