Never plug a generator into a wall outlet because that "backfeed" can send electricity back into the utility lines and seriously injure line workers. The safest option is to have a licensed electrician install a transfer switch or interlock kit in your panel. That setup lets you power essential circuits without putting you or your neighbors at risk.
The installation itself usually takes one to two days and includes the concrete pad, gas line, transfer switch, and wiring. Permits, local inspections, and gas utility coordination can add a few weeks to the overall timeline. Planning ahead of spring storm season or winter ice helps you beat the rush.
Generator manufacturers generally recommend professional service once a year, including an oil change, filter checks, and a battery test. Your generator also runs a short self-test every week or two to keep its parts moving. After a long outage, it's smart to schedule a checkup since heavy use wears components faster.
Standby generators kick on automatically within seconds and can power your whole house, making a big difference during multi-day outages caused by ice storms or summer windstorms. Portable units cost less up front but need manual setup, refueling, and a safe outdoor spot away from windows. If you've got medical equipment, a sump pump, or a well, standby usually makes more sense.
Most Indiana homes land somewhere between 14 kilowatt (kW) and 26 kW for whole-home coverage, depending on square footage, HVAC, and appliances like electric ranges or well pumps. Running a load calculation helps your electrician find the right fit, so you don't overbuy or come up short. Going too small means your generator can't start your AC, and nobody wants that in July.
