A portable generator is a very affordable alternative to a whole-home generator. And it’s also, well, portable. You can easily move it in and out of storage, and it’s a neat thing to have on a camping trip so that you can have the convenience of modern appliances.
Portable generators have come a long way. They are more reliable, run for longer and are safer than ever. They boast a few new features, so it is important to keep an eye out for what you can really get out of a generator. Here are factors to consider:
Now that you know a few things to look out for in a generator, there is one more important thing related to warranty.
A portable generator that is off-brand or from an unreliable retailer will never be a good buy. There might be no warranty and your generator will be unreliable, leaving you several bucks short and in the dark.

Kyle did an outstanding job installing my Power Inlet Box for a portable Generator. Kyle arrived on time, explained the full process and how long the installation would take. Upon completion Kyle quickly walk thru the process of shifting from commercial to portable electricity in case of power failure. Kyle also explained what to do when the power to the house is restored and how to re-energize my circuits. After the demonstration Kyle answered all my questions and was very courteous and patient throughout the process. I highly recommend Kyle from Mister Sparky for your electrical needs. Mr. Jones

Read MoreRamon and Lucas were fantastic! Professional, courteous, friendly, and considerate. They hung some heavy chandeliers and went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. They also added an outlet for a wall mount TV. We are so happy and would highly recommend Mr. Sparky!

Read MoreI had a great experience with Mister Sparky. The assigned electrician arrived promptly and was very accommodating, agreeing to wear a mask and shoe covers as requested. He was polite and professional throughout the entire visit. He quickly and efficiently troubleshot the issue with my smoke detectors and installed six new ones. Unfortunately, one of the new detectors was defective and caused the others to go off shortly after he left. However, the electrician immediately returned to my home the next day to replace the faulty unit, which I greatly appreciated. Beyond the excellent repair work, he also took the time to discuss options for a future generator installation, providing me with detailed and helpful information. I highly recommend this company because they delivers as advertised.

Read MoreWe were extremely pleased with our experience with Mr. Sparky. We were able to have an appointment the same day as the request. Matt was the most courteous and knowledgeable rep and explained what had to be done to provide us with surge protection. Theo was also very professional, skilled, courteous and friendly as he proceeded to do the work, again on the same day. We would not hesitate to refer and/or use this company again in the future!
