Everything you need to know about Generators.

In unstable times, make sure your home life is kept anchored by having backup power – no more going to bed without dinner or skipping coffee in the mornings due to never-ending power outages. Home generators offer comfort, knowing you don’t have to compromise your life or change up your routine; simply switch it on and go on with your life!

Let’s look at the options. The first, and most comprehensive option, would be installing a home standby generator. It is installed outside, connects to your home’s electrical system, and switches automatically when the power goes out. This is by far the easiest option as there is no fuel you need to top up and no work you need to do yourself. As it is quite a powerful generator and can run your home’s entire electrical grid, you can come to the conclusion that is it the most expensive option. However, it is definitely something to save up for if you don’t want a break in power supply!

If a standby generator is too much for you, you can always look at getting a portable generator. This is probably what you have in mind when you think of generators – fuel run, manually started, and that usually sit in the garage. These can either be hooked up to the electrical panel to run the house or plugged into appliances using extension cords. Essentially, they can run for as long as you can afford to top them up with fuel. They are not as lavish as standby generators, but, rest assured, you’ll still be able to catch up on your favourite entertainment!

Stepping away from the more traditional types of generators, we can look at inverter generators. Instead of going full throttle all the time with electricity supply, these generators adjust their load to respond to demand. This results in much lower fuel consumption, as well as it being quieter than other generators due to energy demand being less. It is also safer to plug your electronics into as the power output is calculated – so no need to use a voltage regulator or fear that your phone will be blowing up! Once again, with advanced technology, comes an initial high cost – but you will be saving in the long run due to its fuel efficiency.

If you’re struggling to decide what option to go for, make sure to contact one of our suppliers to discuss what generator best suits your electrical load and home setup. Supplying power to your home shouldn’t be a struggle – stay happy and keep the lights on!
