There are so many ways to break down generator selection. In some of our following articles we talk about fuel, power output, maintenance, and integration. But here we will focus on generator uses and help you weed out some of the stuff you don't need, and hone in on what you do.
Generators are as diverse as their uses. At HomeGeneratorsPlus.com we have access to lots of different types, but we have a clear favorite...Solar. Lets talk about some of the different uses, and how to make your selection.
Although there are a million things you may use your generator for, they can be broken down in to four basic categories, Home Backup, Portable, Professional, and Emergency. As you'll find out, many of the generators available cross into multiple categories. However, by selecting your intended use, you can eliminate some of the options that will not fit your needs.
As the name suggests, these generators and systems are designed to backup your entire home in the event of a power outage. They have the capacity to completely replace your on-grid power for as long as needed.
These generators, kits and systems are going to have the ability to go wherever you go. They are typically small to mid-size, but as you'll see, can pack a punch of power. They are RV, campsite, or tailgate friendly, providing tons of options and set-ups for you to find what you need. Portable generators are one of our focuses here at HomeGeneratorsPlus.com, so you'll find that most of our products fit into this category.
This is where portable meets big power. Jobsites and production sites usually need lots of power for a sustained amount of time. Our options here will not disappoint!
These generators and systems are designed to be there in a crunch. The power range available helps you decide if you want to run just the essentials, or keep the whole house powered.
Again, while many of our products cross into multiple categories, some do not. And by selecting your usage first you can eliminate the products that will not fill your needs, saving you time and confusion in the selection process. As always feel free to call anytime to talk with one of our experts if you still need help selecting!!
