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. Because it utilizes inverter technology, it is almost silent, fuel efficient, and produces an uninterrupted voltage that is safe for delicate computers and home theaters.

The Blue Max at 4,000 watts is a budget model portable 110 pound generator which has an OHV engine, so it is relatively quiet for household backup. Even so, it has substantial power to run the lights, television or refrigerator if there should ever be a power outage in the house.

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. This portable generator is lightweight, easy to operate, and included is a weather protected control panel.

Choosing a portable generator is difficult and there are some models that go anywhere from 2,800 to 6,600 watts. Don’t let carbon monoxide leakage into your home, always check out your outdoor transportable generator’s power at least fifteen feet away from the house. 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.

Propane Generators

Some work places and households generally utilize Propane Generators along with natural gas, however the propane is far more accessible and simpler to store. Conversely, gasoline does not have a long shelf life, and has been present in cases of engine failure.

During hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and other natural disasters gasoline is hard to find, and it seems propane is more readily available as a natural gas to keep the lights on for the rescue crews.

Gasoline gums up to the carburetor so that the emergency generator’s engine might not work. On the other hand natural gas and propane will save time and money for the do-it-yourselfer; your engine will run better in cold weather conditions and last longer.

There are available kits which convert your gasoline generator to a propane or natural gas generator. It will give your generator a more extended, unbroken clean burning fuel which will additionally enhance the engine’s lifespan.

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. For many 7,000 watt generators, there is a two-year warranty that includes an automatic transfer control.

Propane can be stored for extended periods of time, and will not degrade. There are 5, 24, 250, 500 and 1000 gallon propane tanks available for purchase and future use.
