I need some emergency backup power. I want to know about home generator reviews. What
are the best brands? What should I be looking for?
There are various generators you can get. They come in portable, standby and home models.
I want the best generator for home use, that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I don't care
how it is powered. I plan to use it for power outages and other disasters.
I can help you with that. Portable gas generators are cheap, and run on natural gas or gasoline.
They can be purchased for about $300 to $400, but they may not be as useful in terms of
running your whole house in the event of a power failure.
The 4000w series is affordable, and will power a few appliances.
For those who want to power an entire house, they should consider a fixed standby generator.
This can actually be wired into the house.
Wow, I did not know there were so many things to consider in the purchase of a generator
for my home. It is overwhelming!
A good model for whole house use would be the Generac home generator. Those who want
to use a whole standby house generator should consider the 7 kw Generac model 6237. It was
actually the consumer reports pick for 2013.
Wow, are there even any cons, or downsides to the Generac home generator?
It is a great generator, but the downside is that it might not be suitable if you have
central air condtioning, and want to continue running it with the generator.
Sure, you could use it. But if you have an average house, with a whole AC unit you need
a generating system that is rated 15 to 17 KW.
Well, you have certainly given me some things to consider, in terms of a home generator
purchase.
I am glad that I helped to generate some ideas for you. I think overall Generac's Guardian
model, and The Briggs and and Stratton Intelligen models are the best for home use.
They may not be the most powerful models out there, but they are affordable, and should
give you the power you need in a short term or disaster situation.
