Back Up Generators
Thousands of people die each year in their own home, many of them elderly, because of hypothermia. Admittedly, some succumb to hypothermia trying to save on heating bills while the home still has power, but many die during a winter storm where the home has experienced a power outage. During these power outages, emergency home generators are a great asset: It keeps residents warm, food preserved, and the lights on. While a small electric generator can be bought for a few hundred dollars, one that will provide power to a house (in whole or part) is a big investment. With many different types of emergency home generators on the market, it's wise to understand the pros and cons of each type before you buy.
Types of Emergency Home Generators
Diesel and Gas Generators: Diesel generators or gas generators are generally used to power or provide light for work sites. Although they aren't designed to provide power to a home, with up to 6000-watt outputs, the higher end models can provide some relief during a power outage. A gas or diesel generator is okay for plugging in a few lights or appliances for a few hours; just make sure to keep the generator outside as they produce carbon monoxide (an odorless gas that is very dangerous). The nice part about them is that they are portable and can be used for a number of tasks away from the home. The price, which will be less than most home generators, isn't bad either.
Natural Gas Home Generators: These are the big boys; some can provide power to an entire house indefinitely. They run on either natural gas or liquid propane that is piped into the house from a municipal plant. This kind of emergency home generator is permanently fixed to the outside of a house, not unlike a central air conditioning unit. If your concerns are strictly to provide power to your home during outages, then these are the way to go. Since they have a direct gas line hooked into them, you don't have to worry about filling tanks. They are also set to turn on automatically when your power goes out, so you don't even have to turn them on.
