Introduction to Generators
Installing a house generator helps you stay prepared. It protects your home if there is a storm, power emergency, outage, blackout, or other problem that affects your regular power supply. The best whole-house generators can even be used in rural areas that don’t have reliable access to municipal power services or grids.
- Reliable Power Supply – A house generator protects your computer and electronics, makes sure medical equipment stays on, protects your comfort and safety by maintaining heating and cooling, prevents food spoilage, and keeps the lights on so you and your family are safe. Access to safe, reliable power offers nothing but advantages to homes and businesses. Power outages are happening more often across the country, and they are lasting longer. Installing a Generac generator will protect you and your family from problems associated with repeated or prolonged loss of power.
- Generators as Backup Power Solutions – Generators are the safest, most reliable, and most effective backup power solution for homes and businesses. A whole home generator is activated by a switch within a minute or two of sensing a power loss. It can power your whole home safely with minimal interruption. Backup generators and portable generators can provide power to a specific circuit or area of the home. For instance, if you want to make sure your refrigerator, heating, and cooling system, computer, or medical equipment stays on during a power outage, you can use a combination of a backup generator and a backup battery system.
Types of Generators
- Portable Generators – A portable generator is less expensive, ranging from $400-3,000 depending on your power needs. They typically run on gasoline or propane. You will need to find a safe way to store enough fuel on your property to ensure the generator can run uninterrupted for a long enough period. You can use a portable generator anywhere, including remote campsites or rural areas, work sheds, open carports, patios, yards, and homes. You should never use one in an enclosed space. They typically range between 3,000-8,500 watts.
- Standby Generators – A home standby generator costs more, ranging between $2,000-$7,000 not including the cost of installation. They must be installed by a professional. You may need to secure a permit. Standby house generators start automatically via a transfer switch when they sense a power outage. They are typically more heavy-duty and can power an entire home. This type of house generator runs on propane or natural gas. They range from 5,000-20,000 watts.
Choosing the Right Generator
The type of generator you choose will depend on your power priorities, location, needs, goals, fuel availability, and lifestyle. You can make a list of the appliances you want to power if there is a power outage, and then review their wattages to assess how much power you need. For instance, a refrigerator requires around 600 watts of power, while a heater or air conditioner might require between 1,000-1,500 watts. If you don’t want to refill your house generator multiple times per day, you should choose one that has a larger tank or is hooked up to an external fuel source. You should also consider the availability and cost of fuel in your area and your options for safe fuel storage. You have the option for natural gas or propane tanks as a fuel source for generators on Long Island, NY. Our team can assist you with the permitting process for either type of generator.
