Standby generator or portable? Compare cost, convenience, transfer switches and sizing for Illinois storms and winter outages.
Lower upfront cost, but you must start them manually, refuel them, and never run them indoors or in a garage. A manual transfer switch and inlet makes them far safer than extension cords.
Start automatically within seconds, run on natural gas or propane, and can power the whole home including furnace and sump pump – critical in an Illinois winter.
Essential circuits: 14–18 kW. Whole home with central air: 22–26 kW. We perform a load calculation. See generator installation.
Generators and utility switch-overs cause surges. A whole house surge protector is a smart add-on.
