You can read every book on becoming an electrician or have a friend who says that they know what they are doing, but there are so many disasters that can take place if the project is not done correctly.

Many people experience power outages at least once a year. When this happens, it causes a major inconvenience. Not only because your electricity is gone, but it could even mean that tons of food in your refrigerator will go to waste as well. It is recommended that after 4 hours of a power outage, you begin to monitor the temperature of the inside of your fridge. Most perishable foods will need to be thrown out after two more hours. One way to prevent nuisances like this is to purchase a generator. There are three main types of generators: Home Standby, Large Inverter, and Portable generators.
