Portable generators can be purchased for both camping trips and for use at home.
One of the high end portable generators available to the public is the Honda EU1000i Portable Generator, although, it is pricy. It utilizes a reversing technology that is economical, noiseless and possesses a persistently clean voltage that can be employed for delicate computers and home theater equipment.
An inexpensive portable model, the 4,000 watt Blue Max is a 110 lb. generator that possesses an OHV engine, thus making it reasonably silent for the home’s backup. However, it is powerful enough to run a TV, refrigerator or the lights in the house, should there be a power outage.
The most prominent seller is the Northstar 8000TG, a portable wheeled generator that consumes liquid propane or gas, but there is a downside with the equipment being priced at $2,000.00.
A different generator being sold is the Kohler Portable Generator, which is mounted outdoors and utilizes approximately 10,000 watts of power and is listed at $1,000.00.
The transportable Briggs & Stratton 5000 generator goes together with a 1450 OHV kit and engine including wheels to switch with. With a control panel that’s protected from the weather, this generator is portable, easy to operate and light.
Choosing a portable generator is difficult and there are some models that go anywhere from 2,800 to 6,600 watts. Always prevent carbon monoxide leaks by testing your portable outdoor generator 15 feet from your home. Do not run a portable generator in a garage or basement area, and store the propane or gasoline for it in a well ventilated area.
About Propane Generators
Some jobsites and homes usually use Propane Generators as well as natural gas, but the propane is more convenient and easier to store. Gasoline on the other hand has a limited shelf life and in some cases has caused engine failure.
Propane is easily accessible to rescue crews during natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes, whereas gasoline might not be available.
An emergency generator can be hindered by gasoline gumming up and sticking in the carburetor. For those inclined towards DIY, propane and nature gas can save you money and time, and increase your engine’s efficiency in cold weather.
Kits are sold for changing gasoline generators into propane or natural gas. This can prolong your engine’s life, and provide you with constant, clean burning energy.
Recognized as the number one standby propane generators, Guardian standby generators are reliable in a power outage since they spontaneously provide power to pre-selected circuits. Many Guardian standby generators are pre-wired and pre-packaged, affordable and easy to install. 7000 watt generators, which feature an automatic transfer switch, come with a warranty that lasts for 2 years.
The good thing about propane is that it does not break down and it can be stored for long lengths of time. One can purchase propane tanks that range from 5 to 1000 gallons.
