  • A portable generator offers comfort and continuity during short-term outages without overcomplicating your setup. It's ideal for:

    • Momentary power interruptions or grid strain that stall your day.
    • Rainy season storms sweeping across Lakeland.
    • Temporary continuity for refrigeration, lighting and work‑from‑home needs.

  • Interlock kits for generators in Lakeland create a lockout between the main and generator breakers, ensuring only one energy source is active at a time. This mechanical feature supports safe, code‑compliant operation. A typical setup includes:

    • A panel interlock plate and a dedicated generator breaker
    • An exterior inlet and a heavy‑duty cord matched to your unit
    • Clear, durable labels for quick, confident operation

  • Operating your interlock kit is easy. Here's how:

    • Move the portable generator outdoors to a well‑ventilated area.
    • Turn the main breaker off.
    • Slide the interlock.
    • Turn the generator breaker on to energize selected circuits.
