Help Buying A Home Generator

Living without electricity.

Power failures disrupt normal life. Power failures for many are becoming more frequent and seem to last longer then ever before. When they happen we cannot cook, heat or cool our homes, communicate, supply fresh water and store perishable foods. Without power we cannot pump fuel into our cars either. Everything stops. During power emergencies you do not have to feel powerless. You can own your own source of power and continue living a normal life. The solution is to own a portable generator or automatic standby generator.

Careful preparation is essential to select, buy and install a standby generator system. Do not leave it to the last minute. You should have time to learn how to use the system in advance. During a power failure, you may not be able to find suitable, reasonably priced equipment, fuel, and/or installation. Keep the system simple, so you and your family can operate and maintain it. Your emergency system must work reliably when needed.

A backup power system should power most efficient appliances. We carry a wide range of products perfect for home, construction and emergency standby generator power. Simple operation with wireless remote starting and warranties that helps protect you in the future. We remain a leader in the Industry and are a proud member of the Better Business Bureau.

Why You Should Buy A Diesel Standby Generator:

Diesel powered standby generators remain the number-one choice for standby and emergency power systems worldwide. Diesel generators are more reliable because diesel fuel is a light-grade oil. Inside any engine there are many moving parts that create friction. Gasoline and propane are solvent-based fuels which promote friction and wear. Diesel being a lubricant reduces friction and wear. Today’s diesel engines last the longest, run a lot quieter and cleaner then ever before. Diesel is also more fuel efficient and produces more power then gasoline, Natural Gas or Liquid Propane. We experience a much higher customer satisfaction rate with diesel.

Portable or Standby Generator?

Picking a generator that is right for you will depend on your power needs. Portable generators are the most popular for lighter use because of their ease of use. Portable generators are often kept protected in a shed or garage until needed and then wheeling them outdoors. You have the ability to move them from one location to another.

Portable Generators are air cooled and run at 3600 RPM engine speeds. Most important for their longevity is regular oil changes and not running them 24/7 Remember they are air cooled and while many use them for days at a time during an emergency giving them a break every 8 hours to refuel and check the oil will help them last a lot longer. You can expect 1500 – 3000 hours of life out of a air cooled engine.

Larger standby generators use slower turning at 1800 or 1500 RPM depending on where you live. Half the speed and more then double the life. Water cooled just like a tractor or car engine they can last you over 10,000 hours. Best part of all they can be easily fixed and rebuilt. The more powerful engines last longer and are able to run full time. Oil filters and fuel filter are much better and the need to change the oil is less frequent then with a air cooled engine. Many are fully automatic so when the power fails there is no intervention necessary. Many are able to switch them self on and take over powering your home or business and safely shut down when power is restored. Having that extra power lets them turn much larger generators so you often have enough power for all your devices and can live more comfortable. Often the power they supply is enough to power your whole home as if no power failure ever occurred.

How much power do you need?

The silent type enclosed diesel generators are one of the most popular for residential use. Many are satisfied with a 6500 Watt Diesel Generator to power just the necessities such as your fridge, freezer, pumps, television, microwave and lights. You can even have it hooked up directly to your home using a generator transfer switch. For heavy loads to operate such as whole home heating and air conditioning, pumps and dryers a larger diesel generators are your only option. The cost are very reasonable considering the extra power reserve you will have. You can often operate normally without the worry of overloading and frequent refueling. Diesel Standby Generators add security and comfort and are very simple to operate.

Heating and Air Conditioning require a lot more power then a portable generator can provide. While some portable generators may almost have enough power, they operate at 3600 rpm shortening their life where as larger units operate at half that. 1800 rpm.

Noise Level

There are two type of diesel generators. Open frame and closed frame. The closed frame are also known as “silent generators” The larger closed frame units have much larger mufflers and sound insulation to make them no louder then the level of two people taking to each other a few feet away.

Diesel or Gas Generators:

Why diesel-power instead of gasoline? Unlike gas engines, diesels have no spark plugs to replace, or carburetors to rebuild and service. Diesels generally burn less than half the fuel that gas engines do to do the same amount of work. Diesels regularly outlast gas engines ten-to-one.

Fuel Savings:

The fuel-efficiency alone is a good reason to buy diesel. It’s also a lot safer to store. It is flammable, but not explosive like gasoline. And although diesels sometimes produce more visible exhaust, it is less toxic than the emissions from a gasoline engine. A well-tuned diesel, by the way, produces no visible exhaust except briefly, under severe load-changes or when first starting.

Diesels sound scary to some people who are unfamiliar with them, but they are actually simpler in design and construction than gas engines. If you can service a gas engine, you can service a diesel. And it requires less service.

The only maintenance generally required is changing the oil, and changing the fuel, air, and oil filters. This much is the same as on a gas engine. What you won’t have to deal with is tune-ups. No carburetor adjustments, no distributor or magneto to burn out, and no spark plugs to need periodic cleaning and replacement.

Oil changes done on schedule are critical and make the difference between an engine that wears out prematurely and one that runs nearly forever.
