We recommend that you opt for a standby generator between 5,000 and 7,500 watts. A generator of that capacity will be more than enough to power your home. Standby generators tend to be the go-to generators for powering homes.

Ultimately, the price of generators comes down to your needs. To match your requirements, you should expect the price to reflect such needs. For instance, if you are seeking a portable generator, portable generators are fairly popular.

Regarding the longevity of a generator, this can essentially be measured by the condition of the unit following your purchase. With this in mind, the selection that we provide guarantees that you can see your generator(s) last anywhere between 20 and 40 years.

However, if you are having issues with your existing generator, we are always available for generator repairs.

The main benefit of having a generator is the ease of mind that will come with owning one. By this, we mean that if you opt for a backup generator, this will provide additional convenience should a power failure occur.

Granted, the above serves as the major benefit for all generators, although depending on which generator you decide to own, there are benefits in their own right. For instance, if you are looking to host outdoor events across a range of locations, go for a portable generator.

Under no circumstances, do not run a generator out in the open during wet conditions (rain or snow for instance). Should you need to run your generator during these weather conditions, we advise that you look for a storage solution to shelter your generator; doing this will eliminate the worry of potential electrocution.

You may be wondering how a standby generator works, especially during a power outage. This is essentially the purpose of the generator. During a power outage, the engine of the standby generator will start automatically due to an alternator. This alternator will convert the energy of the engine into electrical energy, providing power to your desired location.

If you are seeking a generator for your business, we recommend that you opt for diesel generators. Diesel generators are great for commercial properties as they require much less maintenance than other generator options.

The reason why generators from different generator brands differ in price compared to others on the market is attributed to the quality of the generator itself. To elaborate, the higher the quality of the components that are found within a particular generator, the higher the price. In addition to the components, sometimes you may find that the warranty is much longer compared to other generators on offer.

Ultimately, the price of certain generators compared to others can be attributed to the quality of the offer itself.

There is a wide range to choose from regarding the various types of generators available. Portable generators, as the name suggests, are a great choice if you are seeking an easy way to transport your power solutions to various locations with ease.

Whereas if you require larger quantities of power at one location, you may find that a standby generator will serve you better.

On average, you can keep your standby generator operational for less than 500 hours continuously, although we recommend that you do not exceed the 500-hour mark without undergoing an assessment of your generator.
