Home Generator Buying Guide
So, you've decided to buy a generator. But, which one? You've talked to friends and done a bit of research online and are suddenly finding the task rather daunting what with the complicated terminology and dizzying array of choices. Before you even hop online or talk to a professional though, it helps to sit down and determine what your needs are so you can narrow down your choices significantly.
First, where do you want to use it? There are small and medium sized portable generators that go where you go and where electricity is needed but unavailable. This category includes recreational use and jobsite needs. Recreational use includes RV's, camping, tailgating, hunting and fishing - wherever you think a little bit of juice might come in handy. If you're in a campground, small inverter generators are super quiet and like fences, make good neighbors. A portable generator on the jobsite makes perfect sense as those nail guns, electric drills and power saws need at least a temporary electric source. Or, do you need a generator for home or office use to run essential appliances and equipment during power outages due to weather or high demand blackouts. Generators for this can be either portable or permanently installed standby units. Some of the top brands to consider include: Briggs & Stratton, Wacker Neuson, Subaru, Honeywell, Mi-T-M, Vox and PowerBoss.
Second, what do you want to power? The more stuff you want to run, the greater your power needs. For the serious, and even not so serious, RVer, keeping those batteries charged means all the electricals are in full usage all the time. For the jobsite, it's tools and other work equipment. At home and the office, it gets more complicated as there's so much stuff on a much larger scale so things may have to be prioritized. All lights versus some lights, microwave and/or stove. Refrigerator and/or freezer. One, two, three TVs. Stereo equipment. Whole house AC or window-type. Heat. Sump pump. Computer equipment. Telephone. Essential medical equipment. All of the aforementioned have differing wattage/electricity requirements and the size of the generator will be determined by what you want it to run. Appliance manuals should be checked for wattage needs and there are many online charts which can be consulted for general appliance wattage requirements.
Finally, frequency of usage. Do you have weather-related power outages that last days, weeks or even months and where not having electricity for long periods can be really inconvenient? A larger, more powerful unit might be called for. Do you have power outages that are relatively short-lived but happen often enough that work or other equipment is disrupted and there are concerns for lost productivity and/or safety? A small to medium sized portable might be all you need. Or, maybe you're in a rather remote location and a back-up system would be nice just in case the sun don't shine, the propane tank goes empty, or the woodpile gets buried under a ton of snow (you never know!). A portable or a standby unit would be extra nice especially if it's really cold (or hot) out there!
