When purchasing a generator for emergency backup power, there are several factors to consider to ensure you get the best generator for your needs. Here are some important things to keep in mind:
- Power output: The first thing to consider is the power output of the generator. You need to calculate the total wattage of the appliances and equipment you want to run during a power outage, and choose a generator with a suitable power output. Make sure to choose a generator with enough power to start all of your appliances, as some appliances require a higher wattage to start than they do to run.
- Fuel type: Generators can be powered by gasoline, diesel, propane, or natural gas. Gasoline is the most common and readily available fuel, but diesel and propane are more efficient and produce less emissions. Natural gas is the cleanest option, but requires a dedicated natural gas line and professional installation.
- Runtime: The runtime of a generator refers to how long it can operate on a single tank of fuel. Consider how long you anticipate needing power during an outage, and choose a generator with a runtime that meets your needs. You may also want to consider a generator with a fuel gauge, so you can easily monitor the fuel level.
- Portability: If you need to move your generator around frequently, such as for camping or tailgating, consider a portable generator that is lightweight and easy to move. If you only need the generator for home backup power, a stationary model may be a better option.
- Noise level: Generators can be noisy, so consider the noise level of the generator you choose. If you live in a quiet neighborhood, a quieter generator may be a better choice.
- Automatic transfer switch: An automatic transfer switch allows the generator to automatically turn on and off in the event of a power outage. This is a convenient feature that can save you time and effort during an emergency.
- Brand reputation and warranty: Look for a generator from a reputable brand with a good warranty. This can give you peace of mind knowing that you can rely on your generator during an emergency, and that any issues will be addressed quickly and efficiently.
