Good to Know

  • 58 dB(A) at 23 ft is about the sound of an air conditioner at 20 ft (manufacturer comparison).
  • Connecting to a building’s electrical system must be done by a licensed electrician through an approved transfer switch. Never backfeed a building.
  • Use it outdoors or where air flows freely. Do not run it in an enclosed space.
  • You or your electrician decide the load and the hookup. Give us the job address and dates and we handle the rental and delivery.
