Portable Generator Information offer most everything you would need for home emergency, RV, outdoors& camping use, or commercial & jobsite use, in a smaller and more cost-effective package.
But before you start comparing models or shopping prices, we highly recommend going through the below steps first to make your decision easier as this will help you select the portable generator that is right for you. You can then shop different models to find one that fits your budget. We will need to take to decision criteria in our calculations: 1- the amount of electricity generated and 2- the fuel we find more convenient to our life
Portable Generator Size:
The electricity generated by the portable generator is one of the main decision criteria. Here we need to identify your electricity needs or the power generation output of the generator you need. Electricity needs is measured by Watt, each appliance will consume a number of Watts per month. By adding these Watts you will know th average electricity needed. Then you may pick the generator that has a power generation capability of your need.
To calculate that, get a piece of paper in your hand and start writing down the appliances your home can't live without (i.e. refrigerator, air conditioner...etc). To make maximum efficiency, you may start looking around your home and write down everything that uses electricity, and put them into 2 groups:
Must-have items (like your fridge and lights)
Nice-to-have items (like a dishwasher)
Each appliance has a power label that will tell you how much electricity this appliance will consume (Watt). After having the list visit our wattage calculator to calculate the average wattage needed, accordingly you have an idea of what amount of Generated Electricity needed.
You can then make your own judgment as to which appliances you really want to pay the price for, to provide electricity for when an electricity outage happens.
Now we know how much generated electricity we want our portable generator produce: 1200 WATT, 2000 WATT, 3000 WATT, 3500 WATT, 6000 WATT, 7500 WATT, 10000 WATT
Portable Generator Type:
The choice in this step is to select the type of fuel and how it uses the fuel needed to power up your portable generator, the Portable generators come in commercially in four categories:
- Gas Portable Generators(Inverters): These are referred to as “digital” portable generators. They are essentially the same as regular gas portable generators, but utilize inverter technology to produce power. This means a quieter portable generator, cleaner electricity output and enhanced power performance. A bit higher in price than standard portable generators. Yet if you have sensitive electronics, it is a small price to protect your gadgets. Additionally, the noise reduction is enough to justify the price increase.
- Propane Portable Generators: These are becoming more common. They offer the advantage of less maintenance (no carburetor issues to deal with), better for the environment, and ultimately cheaper to operate. They are slightly higher in price than gas portable generators, typically 15% to 25% more.
By the end of this step you have the size and the type, now you can visit our product list by clicking on the link that represents the type that suits your needs. Then you can visit our section that can suggest where to buy the Portable Generator of choice from one of the most cost effective on-line stores. Don't forget that you can always visit our Wattage Calculator to revise the list of your equipment and appliances to lessen the power generation and accordingly get a smaller generator with less generated electricity
