    Ensure reliable starts with a charged, corrosion-free battery
  • Air Filter Check/Replacement
    Keeps debris out and airflow strong
  • Coolant Level Check
    For liquid-cooled models — prevents overheating
  • Spark Plug Check
    Ensures clean ignition and efficient performance

Generator Connections

Safely power parts of your home during an outage.

What Is It?

A portable generator connection setup lets you safely connect a portable generator to your home’s electrical system — powering essentials like your fridge, lights, or heat during outages.

How It Works:

  1. You plug your portable generator into an outdoor power inlet box.
  2. The power flows through a transfer switch installed near your electrical panel.
  3. You select which circuits you want to power (e.g., fridge, sump pump, lights).


Good For:

  • Homeowners who already own a portable generator
  • Those not ready for a whole-home system
  • Occasional outages where partial backup is enough

What’s Installed:

  • Outdoor inlet box (generator plugs into this)
  • Manual transfer switch or interlock kit (safely switches from utility to generator power)
  • Wiring to connect it all to your panel

     

Why You Need It:

  • Safety: Prevents dangerous backfeeding into utility lines
  • Code Compliance: Meets local electrical codes and standards
  • Convenience: Quickly switch from utility to generator with no messy extension cords
  • Control: Choose which circuits to power during an outage

Portable

Generator Enclosure

A portable generator enclosure is a protective cover or structure designed to house a portable generator, offering safety, security, and protection from the elements.

What It Does:

Weather Protection
Shields the generator from rain, snow, sun, and wind, helping it last longer and operate safely outdoors.

Noise Reduction
Many enclosures help muffle the sound of the generator while it runs — great for neighborhoods or job sites.

Ventilation
Designed with proper airflow so the generator doesn’t overheat or build up dangerous exhaust gases.

Security
Deters theft or tampering, especially if the generator is stored outside.

Safety
Keeps pets, kids, and debris away from hot or moving parts.
