For those of us that don’t have to worry about prolonged power outages, but still have the occasional blackout, a portable generator is a great solution. Portable generators are smaller units that can be easily stored in your garage or shed. When a power outage occurs, you just need to wheel the portable generator up to the control panel of your house, hook it up to the system, and start it. A portable generator is powerful enough to keep select parts of your house running for short periods of time. If you just want to keep your lights on and the refrigerator working until the power comes back, a portable generator can do that for you.
