Home Generators
Home generators have increased in usage since the Y2k scare where the population feared power would be out for days. Since then, other natural disasters have shown the need for home generators. Home generators can be portable or standby . Which one to select depends on the use of the generator, if you need a small and easy to carry around generator than you will buy portable one but if you need a longer lasting power supply you will have to select a standby home generator. Home generators are a major part of any family's disaster preparedness plan. Generator models are available in a wide variety of types and sizes.
Home generators are usually gasoline or diesel powered. They are capable of running 1 to 8 hours at half loads and up to 10 hours and full operational loads.
Home generators are piped directly to your home's source of natural gas and wired to your home's electrical panel. All generators must accommodate the peak power load, or the highest amount of power used (usually at start up) of all the devices attached to the generator. Home generators are used at residences in the event of a power outage. The generator is able to supply an amount of emergency electricity to power appliances such as refrigerators, lights, etc.
