The generators being sold for domestic use are designed to kick in when/if the main supply goes down and they have to be connected to the house by a qualified electrician.

Firms selling generators have seen a powerful surge in business recently amid rising energy costs and fears of possible black-outs this winter.

'We're noticing a big difference in sales ... last year around October ... we had a lot of people in rural Ireland contacting us for generators. "You'd have a lot of older people who fear they'll be left in the house without power... A lot of people are very scared about it," he said. Gary O'Shaughnessy from DE Power Solutions in west Dublin, said:"Of late now with the potential risks of power outages, we've seen a huge increase in people who live in the city [buying generators], people from areas that historically had one outage per year. They don't want to take a chance."
