What Type of Fuel Should You Use in a Generator?

Generators can run on various fuels, each with its advantages:

• Diesel: Known for durability and efficiency, ideal for heavy-duty applications
• Natural gas: Clean-burning and cost-effective, great for residential or light commercial use
• Propane: Highly efficient, with longer shelf life and easy availability
• Gasoline: Widely available and suitable for small to mid-sized generators

The type of fuel you choose depends on factors such as availability, cost, and the intended use of the generator.

What Size Generator Do You Need for Your Property?

A properly sized generator ensures that you have enough power to run essential appliances and systems without overloading the unit.

Here’s what you should consider:

• Identify critical systems: List items like HVAC, refrigerators, medical equipment, or industrial machines.
• Calculate wattage requirements: Determine the starting and running wattage of your equipment.
• Consider growth: Factor in potential future power needs for added appliances or equipment.

Our team can offer expert guidance to help you determine the right size generator for your property. We consider factors such as your power usage, budget, and any specific needs or concerns.

Portable and standby generators serve different purposes based on power needs and location requirements. Portable generators are typically smaller and can be easily moved, making them ideal for temporary power during outdoor events, camping, or minor power outages. They require manual setup and connection to your necessary appliances.

Standby generators are permanent installations that automatically start during a blackout to provide seamless power to your entire home or business. While standby options often come at a higher initial cost, they offer enhanced convenience and reliability, especially for essential operations in residential or commercial settings.

Can You Power Your Whole House With a Portable Generator?

While portable generators offer convenience and flexibility for powering certain appliances or tools during an outage, they generally lack the capacity to power an entire house. Their output is typically sufficient for essential items such as lights, refrigerators, and small electronics, allowing vital functions to continue during short-term power interruptions.

However, due to limitations in power output and fuel capacity, they’re not suited for entire-home use, especially when considering large appliances like HVAC systems or electric stoves. A standby generator would be a more reliable solution for comprehensive home coverage.

What Maintenance Is Needed on a Generator?

Generators can experience wear over time, and neglecting their upkeep can lead to performance issues or failures when they’re most needed. Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to ensure your generator is always ready for use.

This includes:

• Check oil levels: Regularly inspect and change the oil to prevent engine wear and ensure smooth operation.
• Inspect air filters: Clean or replace air filters as needed to maintain optimal airflow and prevent engine damage.
• Examine fuel system: Check for and replace any stagnant or contaminated fuel. Ensure fuel lines are leak-free.
• Test battery: Periodically test the battery and charging system to avoid startup failures.
• Inspect spark plugs: Clean and replace spark plugs as needed to ensure proper combustion and performance.
