Portable Generators and Standby Generators

In actuality, there are two types of generators you can choose from, portable generator and standby generators. The former generator is an excellent choose for work, on construction sites and for play, like when you go camping. In addition, they can also be a small but effective generator in the event you should lose power in your home and you want to power important items like a freezer or a refrigerator.

Standby generators are a bit different, unlike portable generator, standby generators are often permanently installed and they are programmed to come on immediately after a power outage occurs.

These standby generators vary in how much of a home they can power and also in the price of the generators as well. There are standby generators can power only half of your home or you can get a generator to power your entire home as well. As you might expect, the generators that power your entire home tend to be the most expensive. And while the prices will vary a great deal depending on the type of generator and the brand you choose, a good rule of thumb is that even the most inexpensive standby generators will start, price wise at around $1,000.
