There's no need to turn off the breakers - just be sure the Cool Cat is OFF. For my 3-way refrig - it's still on the battery setting when I plug into electric then I switch it over to the electric setting. As for having a light on - I keep a night light in one of the outlets near my door when I'm hooking into electric. I can see in the window that the electric is up and running when the night light comes on.
