Generators – “Home Standby” Or “Portable”
5 Tips to Help You Decide
If you live in an area frequently visited by hurricanes, tornadoes, and storms, you may loose power occasionally. This loss of power may last for hours. To avoid the inconvenience of living without air conditioning, water, or lights, I suggest you purchase a generator.
1. Portable or permanent: a portable is just that, portable. A home stand by generator is permanent.
2. Fuel: a portable generator runs on gasoline or diesel fuel. You have to fill up tanks and haul the fuel to where you place the generator. A stand by generator runs on natural gas or propane. The gas company or propane company must hook up their lines to the stand by generator.
3. Installation: You can install a portable generator, but unless you are very familiar with double fed power sources, I would not suggest doing it. You can buy it at your local home center or hardware store. Then get a electrician to get you the remaining equipment for the stand by generator.
4. Maintenance: both types of generators need maintenance. You must do regular oil changes according to the owners’ manual of the manufacturer.
5. Exercise: a home stand by generator exercises itself every 7 days to keep the engine lubricated. It will also runs a diagnostic test to make sure it does not have any problems and that it is ready to go in a power outage. A portable does not exercise itself. You must get it out and try to see if it still works.
Do you want to wait in line at a gas station just to fill up a gas can for your generator? If you are going to evacuate for a hurricane, will you leave your automatic generator running constantly until you return? These are decisions you must make before purchasing a generator.
