They both have their pros and cons. The biggest advantage of a portable generator setup is COST. Yes, it will cost you a fraction of what a whole house system will. Not only the upfront cost, but the maintenance cost year after year. The two biggest cons to a portable generator are first, it requires some manual effort to turn it on and plug it into your house. Second, it may not be able to power as much as a whole house generator. Regarding the second con, for most customers this is perfectly fine. Having a generator that will power their heat, frig, window AC, microwave, general lighting/outlet is all many people request.

There are two ways to do it. One is an interlock kit and the other is a generator panel. They both have some pros and cons. Which one works best for you will depend on your individual situation. Having said that, I’m a fan of the interlock kit in most cases as it’s cheaper and gives the customer more control over what the portable generator powers.
