Power outages occur all too frequently, with outcomes ranging from inconvenience to devastation.
Maintaining access to your home’s heating, cooling, refrigeration, and lighting requires that you think ahead about having a natural gas or propane gas standby generator ready when you need power in an emergency.
An automatic standby generator is a backup electrical system that operates whether you are home or away. Within seconds of an outage, it automatically supplies power directly to your home's electrical circuit breaker box. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.
During a utility power outage, an automatic standby generator provides numerous advantages over a portable generator:
- The American Red Cross recommends permanently installed standby generators as a safer way to provide backup power to a home than a portable generator.
- With an automatic standby generator properly installed outside, your home is protected from deadly carbon monoxide poisoning, which is a much greater risk with portable generators.
- They start automatically within seconds of a power outage, and eliminate the need to haul a portable generator outside or run extension cords throughout your home.
- They provide protection 24/7, whether you’re home or away, and they turn themselves off when utility power returns, so there is no need to monitor the unit during an outage.
Your actual emergency generator’s requirements to power your home depends on the size and the demands of your particular appliances and systems.
The best way to ensure that you get the ideal standby generator for your needs is to speak with a Porco representative. He or she will be glad to calculate your home's requirements and recommend the standby emergency generator that best suits your home.
We also offer propane gas portable generators for outdoor activities.
Here are just some benefits of using a propane gas generator vs. gasoline:
- Won't give off noxious fumes
- Clean emissions are better for the environment
- Carburetor cannot and will not gum up
- Safer fuel
- Lower maintenance (fewer moving parts and no gum up)
- Longer engine life
