What Is a Home Generator?
What Are the Different Types of Generators?
There are a few different types of home generators. So, as a homeowner, you are probably wondering what type of generator you should install in your home. Mr. Electric of the Coastal Empire is always glad to meet with you and make recommendations. We’ll measure the amount of energy your home uses and show you which generator brand and size would properly power your home. First, it’s helpful to understand the two main types of generators. Learn more about the two main types of generators.
Portable Generators
You may have seen small, portable generators that run off gasoline. These are the most budget-friendly generators on the market, but they do not provide very much power and they do not start automatically when the power goes out. These typically won’t power more than a few devices or appliances at a time, and you will need to refuel a portable generator during prolonged power outages. Filling gasoline containers and refuelling is not always a convenient option. As you can see, this is not the best option for someone who wants a generator that seamlessly supplies power to their entire home.
Standby Home Generators
A standby generator is a fixed unit that is connected to your home’s electrical system. These usually use natural gas or propane and start automatically when your power supply is lost. A standby home generator will supply enough power to run all of your home appliances, including your refrigerator, freezer, sump pump, stove, lights, HVAC, and more. However, these require more home generator maintenance services than portable generators and are more costly.
