Standby and portable, sized, wired and ready.
North Mississippi loses power to storms often enough that a generator is a practical purchase, not a luxury one. The generator is the easy part. Wiring it so it powers the house safely is the part that needs an electrician.
The critical piece is the transfer switch. Without one, a generator can backfeed the utility line and put whoever is working on that line in danger. We install the switch, size the circuits, and set it up so switching over is simple.
Permanently installed, wired to a transfer switch, ready to pick up the house when the power drops.
Manual or automatic. The piece that isolates your house from the utility line so a generator can never backfeed it.
An inlet and interlock so a portable unit can safely power real circuits instead of a web of extension cords.
Deciding what actually needs to stay on. Well pump, fridge, heat, and lighting usually matter more than everything at once.

No. Backfeeding through an outlet is dangerous, it can energize the utility line outside and it bypasses your breakers. A proper inlet with an interlock or transfer switch is the safe way, and it is not expensive to add.
It depends on what you want running during an outage. Tell us what matters most, usually the well pump, refrigerator, heat and some lighting, and we will size around that instead of guessing high.
Yes. Buy the unit you want and we will wire it correctly.
