Benefits of Small Portable Generators Versus Large Home Backup Generators

Are you worried that a small generator won’t be able to power all your important appliances and electronics?

Are you worried that a large generator will be too much power for you to use?

It all depends on what makes sense for your family!

According to the FamilyHandyman.com, portable generators are “gas powered, and plug into your appliances or a subpanel general costing $500-$1,500. Large standby generators are powered by natural gas or propane and start automatically during power outages” starting at $5,000 for a 7,000-watt unit, including installation.”

Does a large standby generator make sense for you? Does your family travel a lot in the winter months?  A backup generator can be cheaper than paying for flood repairs after pipes burst. Sweltering heat can also leave children and the elderly at risk.

Does a small portable generator make sense? How high is your tolerance for interruptions? Do you only have a few things you’d like to power up during an outage? Is your neighborhood prone to a lot of outages?
