Plugging In Your Inflatable

generators and outlets - electricity sources for custom inflatablesA Landmark Guide for Plugging In Your Inflatable

Because cold-air inflatables have fan systems to keep them inflated, they require electricity to operate. This guide will walk you through what you’ll need to plan for power at your events.

Where do I get power?

You can use wall outlets or generators to power up your inflatable displays.

Wall Outlets

Do you have easy access to electricity at your events? Most of our inflatables can be plugged in to a standard wall outlet, or a standard outlet box provided at trade shows or outdoor events.

Generators

For outdoor events without access to outlets, like parades and festivals, you may need to use a generator. For most of our inflatables, you will be able to find an appropriate generator from a hardware store or rental company.
