  • A portable generator is a practical way to combat short-term outages. It helps during:

    • Brief power interruptions or grid strain that interrupt routines.
    • Storms moving through Riverview.
    • Short‑term power for lighting, refrigeration and home office devices.

    Because portable generators for home setups are manually operated, they only power essentials during outages, so some home appliances will be unable to connect to the system

  • Interlock kits for generators provide a mechanical, code‑compliant way to switch between utility and generator power. The interlock plate prevents the main and generator breakers from being on together, helping avoid backfeed and protecting people and properties. Here are some typical components:

    • Panel interlock plate with a dedicated generator breaker
    • Exterior inlet and a heavy‑duty generator cord
    • Clear labeling so clients can operate the generator confidently

  • Powering the generator from the interlock kit is simple. Follow these basic steps:

    • Move the portable generator outside and away from openings.
    • Turn the main breaker off.
    • Slide the interlock into place.
    • Turn the generator breaker on to energize selected circuits.

How to Find the Right Size Portable Generator for Your Riverview Home

Choosing the right size generator prevents overloading while keeping essentials powered. Start by listing the items you want to run, such as lighting, refrigerators, a few outlets or devices. Then, check running and starting watts and choose a steady output with a little headroom. Many of our Riverview clients with portable home generators choose a 30‑amp 120/240‑volt unit for essentials.

During your visit, we can also discuss whole‑home LED retrofits to reduce the load on your generator. For added resilience, we can conduct electrical safety inspections in Riverview and install surge protectors for your appliances.
