Generators are wonderful additions to any home. When a bad storm comes through and wipes out the electrical supply, these affordable devices can fill in until repairs are made. Whether the power is out for an hour or for days, this can be an inconvenient and expensive problem. Although battery-operated lights and candles can fill in for conventional lamps and other light sources, the lack of electricity often leaves the home without heat and air, hot water, and the ability to cook. In remote areas that use wells as a water source, the home may not even have running water. With a generator and the required generator accessories, electrical outages are no longer a problem.

Homeowners can find a generator and all the accessories to make it work at Sears. While generators are indispensible tools in a time of crisis, improper use or installation can be dangerous. To ensure no one incurs an injury and the home's electrical system isn't harmed, always read the entire owner's manual before using a home generator. If there's any question, consult a qualified professional for help with the installation.

Sears also sells the special extension cords and inlet boxes required to connect this powerful item to the home's electrical system. Both of these items must be chosen to fit the specific outlets included on the generator itself. Most inlet boxes are installed near the main circuit breaker panel for convenience. However, some homeowners prefer to locate this item in a garage or other remote area to muffle the noise. When shopping for generators at Sears, note the noise rating on each one.

Switches are also required to properly use a generator, and Sears sells both types. Manual transfer switches are simple, inexpensive devices, but they require the homeowner to physically turn the switch to allow the electricity produced by the generator to flow through the home. Automatic transfer switches, on the other hand, detect a power outage, turn the generator on, and switch the power feed without intervention. In many cases, homeowners never notice they experienced an outage when they use an automatic transfer switch. For this convenience, both the original purchase price and the installation cost are a little higher.

Choosing cords, inlet boxes, and transfer switches that will work together can be complicated. To make this simple, transfer switch kits are available at Sears. These matching products include everything needed to safely install a home generator. These items should be chosen based on the size of the generator and the power needs of the individual building.
