Portable Gasoline Generators vs. Standby Generators
5 Big Differences
Want to power your entire home and air conditioner?
If you want to keep your cool this summer – you need a standby generator! Portable generators generally lack the generating capacity (KW) to meet whole house electrical demands, including the higher starting amps of a central air conditioning system.
Like knowing your lights are on even when you are away?
Only a standby generator features an automatic transfer switch that starts the generator when an outage is detected and shuts it off when utility power is restored. It’s automatic so you don’t have to lift a finger.
Enjoy storing and lugging heavy gas cans around during a storm or at night?
If the answer is no, then choose a standby generator fueled by your home’s reliable and economical natural gas supply.
Have a house full of electronic devices and video game junkies?
If you want these sensitives devices to keep performing at optimal levels even during an outage, you need the clean power produced only by a standby generator.
No more tangles!
Avoid untangling and tripping over extension cords running across the yard and through your house from a portable generator. Standby generators are permanently installed on a pad and safely connected to your home’s natural gas supply and electric panel.
