About Metro-New Orleans Generators

When you need to maintain steady power during a severe weather event, a generator is your best bet. There are two types of generators: portable and standby. A portable generator will work well if you want to keep your Wi-Fi router and a couple of lights on until the storm blows over, but you'll need a standby generator for medical equipment and major appliances.

Because generators involve electricity, always consult a licensed electrician before making a purchase.

Portable generators vs. standby generators

Portable generators are handy to have around the house, but they are completely manual. You'll need to keep a supply of fuel—usually gasoline or diesel—for the generator and ensure that you have a safe place to use it. You'll turn on a portable generator much like you would a lawnmower and then plug in devices or appliances based on the generator's capacity.

Standby generators are typically powered by natural gas or liquid propane and are permanently connected to your home's electrical service via a transfer switch. When your home's electrical supply is interrupted, the transfer switch starts the generator automatically and transfers your home's electrical load to the generator.

Because a standby generator's transfer switch must be connected to the public utility, only a licensed electrician can do the installation. Incorrect transfer switch installation can kill the installer or a utility line worker.

Standby generator installation

When you choose an electrician to install and maintain your standby generator, ask the following questions:

Are you licensed with the state to perform electrical work?
Have you installed a standby generator before?
What types of maintenance plans do you offer?
Do you offer 24/7 emergency service?

Also keep in mind that you will need to secure a fuel source for your standby generator. Depending on the location of your property and the availability of municipal natural gas service, hiring a fuel company to install a liquid propane tank near your home may be the best, most cost-effective option.
