Home generators are used for power outages as a backup energy supply. When the power goes out, it is hard to know exactly when it will come back on, and having home generators can prepare you for these times. Home generators are used to keep vital appliances running in your home, mainly a water heater, refrigerator, or water pumps. Many people think that they won't need hot water, or don't realize that food in refrigerators can go bad very quickly, and when an unexpected disaster happens, they are the ones out of luck. There are two basic types of home generators: permanent and portable. Both types of home generators have their own advantages, and can be great for all sizes of homes. Portable home generators are very handy and can be moved around for easy access. This makes them easy to store when not in use, and they take up very little space. Portable home generators are usually cheaper than permanent, and very easy to use. Permanent generators are great for use when the power goes out for an extended period of time. Permanent home generators can usually handle more wattage, and can be turned on all day. You should consider the average energy usage of your home, and make the best generator selection to back it up. Permanent home generators are usually installed by an experienced professional, and can be hooked up directly into the electrical system of your home. These home generators need to be installed outside and far away from your house because they still give off toxic fumes and exhaust. Portable home generators should also be used outside the house, and it is always a good idea to keep them covered and dry when in use, and when in storage. These different types of home generators can run on a variety of fuels. It is always a good idea to check with the owner's manual that came along with it to see exactly which types of fuels should be used on your specific home generators. Most portable home generators run on gasoline, which is convenient because they are easily refilled, and gasoline is easy to get. Permanent home generators commonly use propane or natural gas to operate. This sometimes requires gas lines to be installed in a home, but these types of fuels can provide less carbon emissions, and are energy efficient. Every homeowner should know the location of the electrical transfer box (also called a transfer switch) in their home. This box controls the different areas of electricity in your home, and can be shut off at any time. Home generators can be hooked directly into these transfer boxes, which makes it easy to allocate energy to the areas you need. Home generators are found in almost every hardware store, and can range in price. There are many brands to choose from, and they come in many strengths. Ask the people working at hardware stores about these machines, and they can tell you the differences between each model. Find the best type of generator for your house and you will be prepared for the unexpected.
