How Do Backup Generators Work?
Home backup generators create mechanical energy by converting fuel into electrical power with the help of a heavy-duty, rechargeable battery. When a residential property loses power, home generators allow you to stay safe and comfortable until electricity is restored. Generators can keep sump pumps, furnaces, stoves, refrigerators, lights, fans, and other electronics in your home operating when you experience a power loss. There are two main types of generators:
Portable Home Generators
These can power a few essentials in your home until power is restored. They are started manually and only connected to necessary appliances. Portable models cost less than standby models but can only operate a few appliances simultaneously.
Home Standby Generators
Home generators are typically powered with propane or natural gas. Automatic transfer switches turn on this type of generator automatically when the power goes out to prevent an interruption in service. They cost more than portable generators, but the investment and peace of mind may be worth it when most of your home's electronics seamlessly transition to backup power when you lose electricity.
