Generators

Power outages can disrupt daily life and pose serious risks, especially for those reliant on electrical-powered medical equipment. Without electricity, essential appliances such as refrigerators, lights, HVAC systems, and communication devices cease to function, creating inconvenience at best and life-threatening situations at worst.

Choosing Between Portable and Standby Generators

When it comes to home generators, there are two main options: portable and standby. While portable generators may seem like a more budget-friendly choice, they often come with hidden costs and safety concerns, making standby generators a more reliable solution during power outages.

Portable Generators:

• Operate on gasoline, propane, or diesel, requiring frequent refueling.
• Produce less power and are noisier than standby generators.
• Require manual operation during power outages.
• Offer limited capacity to power only a few appliances at once.
• Pose risks of carbon monoxide exposure.
• Are more affordable but lack safety features and convenience.

Standby Generators:

• Use natural gas or propane, requiring no refuelling.
• Activate automatically during power outages, requiring no homeowner intervention.
• Can sustain power for days or weeks.
• Are permanently installed, providing continuous protection.
• Offer higher safety standards and protection against carbon monoxide exposure.
• Are more expensive upfront but offer long-term reliability and peace of mind.
