Portable Generators in Sarasota

A Quick Solution When Southern Florida’s Power Fails

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.

Choosing Portable Generators

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:

Run Time – Run time usually varies from around 7 to 14 hours on a full tank. It is recommended to have a rest of at least a couple hours if you have to refill and run it for longer. Be mindful of oil, which it will consume relatively quickly.
Safety – Should you forget oil or something becomes unsafe in the wiring or engine, there should be features that automatically shut the generator off.
Ignition – Many generators have the convenience of pressing a button to start the generator, but this requires a battery. Should the battery die, there should also be a backup pull ignition.
Fuel Gauge – It is important to have a very clear indication of when the gas is getting low.
Warranty – Any licensed electrician worth it’s salt should offer warranties on generators. Nothing can predict certain manufacturer errors.

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.

The entire crew at Mister Sparky were amazing . Kalmil , Valad , Daniel , Kalab , permit girl and the rest. They did a $42,000 rewire on a 1950’s house. This was not an easy job. Really easy to work with.

Garrett did an awesome job installing ceiling fan light kits and new wall switches. Garrett was prompt, polite, considerate, and professional. Highly recommended! Ramon 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!

Daniel Sorrels was an absolutely amazing technician! He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. He took his time explaining everything to me from start to finish and made sure I understood exactly what was going on. I never felt pressured or like I was simply being sold something. His personality, honesty, and approach made me feel like he was genuinely looking out for me and protecting my home and my best interests. That kind of trust is so important, especially when you’re dealing with something you don’t know much about. Excellent experience from beginning to end. I would absolutely recommend Daniel!
