Portable generators supply your family with much needed electrical power when faced with unexpected outages due to extreme weather conditions. Two types of generators are available on the market: portable generators and permanently installed home generator systems. Portable generators will power the essential equipment in your home during power outages and your recreational equipment when camping outdoors. Portable generators come in a variety of models and fit in a variety of price points so you can get one no matter what your budget is. When searching for portable generators, you must determine how much power your home requires during a power outage. Make a list of the electrical items you will need to use during an extended power outage, such as lights, computers, or the oven. Some families may have in-home medical equipment that cannot be turned off, so make sure this is on your list as well. If you need portable generators for a work site or for camping, make sure you list everything you need them to do in these instances as well. Heating and entertainment appliances should also be considered when shopping for portable generators. You must determine what it takes to start every appliance on your list in order to look for the right portable generators. The starting wattage is the amount of power that is needed to start an appliance with a motor, which may be two or three times the wattage to run the appliance. You can always check an appliance's starting wattage either on a label or in a manual, so you can determine the portable generators you should purchase. You must calculate the total power needs of your family when shopping for portable generators. You can do this by adding up all of the running wattage numbers for all of the items you wish to power simultaneously with portable generators. This equals all of the total running watts your portable generators need to produce to simply run your appliances. With all of the knowledge you have about the power needs for your portable generators, you can now look for portable generators with your power wattage needs. Portable generators are run on gas engines that are very reliable and provide dependable power. You may also want to think about the ease of moving around the generator you purchase in case you want to go camping with it. Portable generators with wheels are easily moved without much lifting or hassle. Portable generators with a 10-hour running time are usually sufficient for most power outages and also for the few tasks they will perform while camping. You must also count how many outlets you will need on your generator in order to find the right model for your family. A good idea is t talk to a salesperson at the retailer that you are purchasing your generator from. They will know all of the specifics of what you should purchase for your power needs, and also give you recommendations on how you should use your generator properly during a power outage.
