The Honda EU1000i Portable Generator is expensive, but one of the best portable generators on the market. It uses an inverter technology that is fuel efficient, very quiet and has a continuous clean voltage that can be used for home theater equipment and sensitive computers.

An inexpensive portable model, the 4,000 watt Blue Max is a 110 lb. generator that possesses an OHV engine, thus making it reasonably silent for the home’s backup. Even so, it has substantial power to run the lights, television or refrigerator if there should ever be a power outage in the house.

The biggest seller is the wheeled portable generator such as the Northstar 8000TG which usually uses gas or liquid propane, although it is quite pricy at $2000.

Alternatively, the Kohler Portable Generator is mountable outdoors, costs $1000 and can produce 10,000 watts.

The Briggs & Stratton 5000 generator is also portable, and includes a 1450 OHV engine and a kit to attach wheels. This portable generator is lightweight, easy to operate, and included is a weather protected control panel.

Selecting a generator that is transportable can be hard, and there are also a few models that can generate around 2,800 to 6,600 watts. Don’t let carbon monoxide leakage into your home, always check out your outdoor transportable generator’s power at least fifteen feet away from the house. Keep gasoline and propane in areas with good ventilation, and avoid running portable generators in basements or garages.

Propane Generators

Some job sites and homes usually use Propane Generators as well as natural gas, but the propane is more convenient and easier to store. Conversely, gasoline does not have a long shelf life, and has been present in cases of engine failure.

Throughout natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes, gasoline is difficult to find, and it appears that propane is more obtainable as a natural gas to run lights for the rescue teams.

An emergency generator can be hindered by gasoline gumming up and sticking in the carburetor. For those inclined towards DIY, propane and nature gas can save you money and time, and increase your engine’s efficiency in cold weather.

There are kits available to change a gasoline generator into natural gas or propane. This can prolong your engine’s life, and provide you with constant, clean burning energy.

Guardian standby generators are known to be the number one standby propane generators especially since during a power outage they will automatically supply electricity to pre-selected circuits. A lot of the Guardian standby generators are pre-packaged and pre-wired, reasonably priced and simple to put together. 7000 watt generators, which feature an automatic transfer switch, come with a warranty that lasts for 2 years.

The great thing about propane is that it will not go bad and you can store it for a long time. There are 5, 24, 250, 500 and 1,000 gallon propane tanks sold to the public for usage in the future.
