 Emergency Generator Guide
Emergency Power
Picking the Perfect Emergency Portable Generator
In the past, enduring a power outage was as simple as starting the fireplace. Not anymore.
Without electricity, basements can flood. Security systems can falter. Home businesses can fail.
"You don't realize how much you rely on electricity until it's gone," says Jon Hoch, founder of Electric Generators Direct.
Many homeowners are unable or unwilling to wait out the next power outage, so they are converting their portable generators into emergency backup power systems.
What NOT to Buy!
The key to picking the perfect emergency portable generator is to pick the right style first, then pick the right wattage.
Camping Generators
Recreational generators are great for tailgating or camping. A power outage, however, is no picnic.
Small recreational models will only power an appliance or two. Plus, you'll need to refill their small gas tanks every few hours.
Jobsite Generators
You don't need to go overboard with a professional-grade model either unless you're a contractor using your generator on a daily basis.
"What's the point in purchasing a top-of-the-line portable generator with all the bells and whistles that's only used a few times a year?" asks Hoch.
Emergency Generators
 Electric Generators Direct actually grades the style of every generator to help customers quickly find their perfect portable generator.
Hoch recommends purchasing a portable generator specifically designed for "Emergency Power" and reinvesting the savings into a generator with additional wattage.
