November 27, 2009

Some people purchase Portable Generators as a backup generator for their home or for their camping trips.

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.

An inexpensive portable model, the 4,000 watt Blue Max is a 110 lb. generator that possesses an OHV engine, thus making it reasonably silent for the home’s backup. However, it is powerful enough to run a TV, refrigerator or the lights in the house, should there be a power outage.

While expensive at 00, the Northstar 8000TG is a powerful seller that uses liquid propane or gas, and also has wheels.

An alternative is the Kohler Portable Generator which gets mounted outdoors and has more power (10,000 watts) and costs ,000.

The transportable Briggs & Stratton 5000 generator goes together with a 1450 OHV kit and engine including wheels to switch with. It is a light, easily operated generator that is both transportable and contains a weather proof dashboard.

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. Keep gasoline and propane in areas with good ventilation, and avoid running portable generators in basements or garages.

About Propane Generators

Propane and propane generators are more convenient to store than natural gas, but homes and businesses often use both. Gasoline on the other hand has a limited shelf life and in some cases has caused engine failure.

Propane is easily accessible to rescue crews during natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes, whereas gasoline might not be available.

An emergency generator can be hindered by gasoline gumming up and sticking in the carburetor. 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 kits available to change a gasoline generator into natural gas or propane.
This can prolong your engine’s life, and provide you with constant, clean burning energy.

Guardian standby generators are known to be the number one standby propane generators especially since during a power outage they will automatically supply electricity to pre-selected circuits. Guardian standby generators are ready to use, easy to install, and inexpensive. 7000 watt generators, which feature an automatic transfer switch, come with a warranty that lasts for 2 years.

The good thing about propane is that it does not break down and it can be stored for long lengths of time. There are 5, 24, 250, 500 and 1000 gallon propane tanks available for purchase and future use.
