Make Sure Your Family’s Prepared for Outages
Hampton, VA, is no stranger to hurricanes or nor’easters and the damage they can leave behind. Storm surges and high winds can wreak havoc on the electrical grid, potentially leaving whole communities without power for days or even weeks.
That doesn’t mean you need to wait for power to be restored. The electricians at MorLite install generator outlets so you can quickly and easily run your home or business on backup power.
We start by sitting down with you to discuss your home or business’s specific needs and the strength of your generator. Together, we’ll identify the critical gear you need to be powered in an emergency—lighting, HVAC systems, sump pumps, medical equipment, freezers, and ovens are some of the most common.
From there, we make sure those essentials are wired to dedicated circuits in your electrical panel. Then we’ll install a generator outlet outside your home or office that directly connects to the panel. When you hook up your portable generator, it will power those specific circuits. This ensures you have everything you need up and running without overwhelming your generator’s capabilities.
How a Generator Outlet Installation Will Benefit Your Home or Business
Appliance Safety
A generator outlet installation provides appliance safety by offering a more reliable way to connect your generator to your home’s electrical system. Using a manual transfer switch, which directs power from the generator breaker to the electrical box, eliminates the risk of backfeeding.
Unlike the hazards of running multiple power cables and extension cords during a power outage, installing a generator outlet reduces fire hazards and improves circuit protection. As a result, your appliances can receive steady power directly from the generator output.
Health and Comfort
When a power outage strikes, your air conditioning system won’t be able to cool your home. However, a standby generator can power your home’s AC unit — and comfort along with it!
Rather than relying on an extension cord to provide limited energy, a generator outlet solution ensures that vital systems like heating and medical devices remain operational. Our generator outlet services will allow you to continue using important appliances and maintain a safe environment during unexpected electrical disruptions.
Convenience
A generator outlet allows seamless access to backup power. With a generator outlet installation and transfer switches in place, you no longer need to manually connect multiple extension cords or power cables. This streamlines the process and enables a simple connection between the generator and your electrical system.
Long-Term Money Saving
In the long term, installing a generator outlet can lead to considerable savings. For example, if your refrigerator no longer has any power, the perishable food inside could spoil — costing you lots of money in the process. Of course, if you own a generator, you won’t have to worry about this happening!
Additionally, with a generator outlet installed, you won’t have to pay for repairs caused by electrical overloads. By avoiding power surges and ensuring stable generator output, you can lower the chances you’ll need to spend money during future power outages.
