Portable Backup Generators  & Installation - Westchester NY

Why Buy A Portable Generator?


They are usually fairly small, maneuver in much the same way as a wheelbarrow, and they can be stored in a reasonably small area. 


The best part? They are the most affordable power generation option available. 


A Portable Generator Can Bring the Power Home


Connecting your portable generator to your home is as simple as calling Keating Electric. Our knowledgeable and friendly electricians will help you figure out what is the best power transfer method, where to put the power inlet and what size generator is needed to meet your needs. 


One critical component of the system ensures the power from your generator has no way of being sent out onto the electric grid.  There are a couple of options when it comes to managing the power your portable generator produces, and again, we can help you determine which is best for you. 

A portable emergency generator is the solution to guarantee your life will keep going on, even when the power goes out.


Portable Generator - Manual Operation

 

Portable emergency generators are operated manually; you need to set them up, turn them on when a power outage occurs, and shut them off when the electricity is restored. And if your portable generator is configured to deliver power directly to your home's electrical system, you will also need to manually operate a transfer switch that protects the electrical system from receiving an overload when power is restored.

 

Like any gasoline engine, a portable emergency generator should be tested periodically throughout the year so you can be sure that it's ready to perform whenever the need arises.

 

Portable Generator - Backup Power

 

Portable emergency generators come in different sizes to fit your need. Typically, a portable emergency generator is intended to provide backup power to your home's essentials; furnace, refrigerator / freezer, sump pump, security system, some lights and electrical outlets.
