Types of Generators For Home Use:

Home power generators can be broken down into two basic types, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. The primary differences center on portability, fuel type, and capacity.

Portable Generators

As the name implies, portable generators can be moved between locations. These are normally less expensive than stationary alternatives and have a wide range of capacities that can power as few or as many devices as needed.

Some of the unique characteristics of portable generators:

  • They are less expensive
  • They can be moved
  • They require a manual start
  • They have a limited run time

Stationary Generators

Permanently installed systems that include a direct connection to a permanent fuel source are known as stationary or backup generators. These standby generators are better suited for long-term power disruptions.

Some of the most important characteristics of standby generators:

  • They are more expensive
  • They are not moveable
  • They have automatic operation
  • They have a direct connection to the electrical system
  • They can operate continuously
  • They have a greater capacity

Choosing a Generator to Install

When considering the purchase of a power generator, there are many factors to consider. At Sub:BusinessName}, our Delaware County generator services experts have helped countless families choose the best for their needs.

Factors To Consider When Choosing a Generator:

  • Use: Power generators come in many shapes and sizes. If you anticipate using a backup generator for tasks like camping alongside an emergency power supply, consider a portable unit. Alternatively, if you want dedicated power that you can depend on, stationary residential generators are probably the best option.
  • Automation: Typically power outages occur during severe weather, so automatic operation is a big consideration. Portable generators require manual set-up and operation, while stationary units essentially work on their own.
  • Power demands: It is important to consider your power demands. Will you simply want to power the basics like a refrigerator and lights, or are there critical systems like sump pumps, HVAC units, or medical equipment that are important to keep running as well?
  • Connection: It is important to think about how the electricity will be delivered to your home. Smaller portable generators will simply use extension cords. Larger portable units and stationary power generators should be integrated into your home’s power system with a professionally installed transfer switch. This will protect your generator and the electrical equipment within your home.
  • Fuel type and fuel storage: Smaller power generators typically run on gasoline and can use roughly 8 to 22 gallons per day. There are also portable units that run on propane, which can use 4 to 8 20-pound tanks per day. Normally, stationary models connect directly to natural gas and can run almost indefinitely.
