Electric Generators For Home
Portable electric GENERATORS for HOME are CONVENIENT power on the go.
 What a convenience it is to have your own portable generator to take along with you wherever you and your family go! If you haven't considered purchasing one, think about this: While you are at a family reunion at the park, or tailgating at the big game, or even camping under the stars, wouldn't it be handy to provide electrical power for your family's needs, or even just for fun? You may not want to power a large screen TV with the Grand Canyon as your backdrop, but there are many times when heaters, ACs, and appliances would make your outing that much more comfortable.
The same PORTABLE unit can come in HANDY in an EMERGENCY.
The very same model that you utilize for recreation or home projects can be valuable in a power outage or emergency. When electricity goes out, backup power allows you to finish your home projects or power appliances to finish dinner. Much smaller in size than an installed power generator, the portable home gen can be easily tucked away in your basement or garage when not in use. It can also be useful for construction and job-site support, providing emergency electricity right where you need it when you need it.
Top of the line portable ELECTRIC generators for home can PROVIDE plenty of MOTOR-STARTING force.
 That's right - top of the line mid to large-sized portable electric generators for home can provide 1.4 to 4 kilowatts of surge capacity for powering on large appliances - while delivering a minimum of 2800 to 3000 continuous watts of electricity. That 2800 watts is sufficient power to run a waffle iron, a toaster oven, and your TV while you prepare breakfast during a power outage. Even a small 1.4-horsepower 900-watt unit can often power a modern refrigerator and 25" television simultaneously.
How is it POSSIBLE to pack so much POWER into so SMALL a package?
 Technology has allowed smaller engines to create bigger horsepower - true of the small (single-cylinder) engines driving power equipment, automobile powerplants, and the massive diesel motors that motivate big rigs. In the power equipment arena, today's 1-cylinder motor can produce horsepower that would have required multiple cylinders twenty years ago. In the nineteen-eighties, a typical small engine in a piece of power equipment - a portable generator or lawn mower for instance - harbored just 3 to 3.5 horsepower. A motor of the same size and weight today makes 6.5 horsepower or more.
Inverter TECHNOLOGY engenders 120 VOLTS of the CLEANEST electricity you will find.
 Inverter generator technology creates a power source of 120 non-fluctuating volts of electricity, perfect for electronic gadgets and power tools. It does this by transforming standard alternating current (AC) output into non-fluctuating direct current (DC). Then it inverts the DC power back into a non-fluctuating 120 volts of AC, the type of power you need for today's appliances. What this means for you is that a 4 horsepower generator can easily power your RV air conditioner, or it can power your construction lights on site for emergency repair.
A 1.4-HP electric generators for home model can OPERATE for up to 11 HOURS before requiring a fuel refill.
Also take note that 1.4 horsepower electric generators for home can run for 11 hours on less than half a gallon of fuel, and 4 horsepower generators can run for up to 15 hours on only one and a half gallons. Just keep in mind that machinery and appliances that generate heat draw more power and use up more fuel. The lower horsepower engines may be just right for your home needs, whereas the higher horsepower engines are better for construction and small business needs. In either case, a lightweight, portable generator that can be rolled out to where you need it will provide modern convenience no matter how remote your location.
