By Gregory Jackson


Backup generator is also commonly referred to as standby generator. In case of a black out, it protects homes automatically by providing power direct into your electrical system. These standby generators can backup your entire home or the essential items depending on the owners choice whenever there are power outages and therefore you are not inconvenienced by the outage.

Backup generators detect power outage in your home and it turns on automatically restoring power. The unpredictability of black outs which last for minutes, days, some weeks, availability of a backup generator will keep you powered no matter how long the blackout will take; they usually sense any electricity fault and fix it by turning on.

Most commonly available generators are propelled by natural gas or liquid propane (LP) fuel. The cost these products vary from country to country. The higher the cost of fuel means it is expensive to maintain a generator that consumes a lot of fuel. Running a generator propelled by gas is more cost effective than the one propelled by fuel.

While choosing the location of your new standby generator, there are factors that you need to consider. They operate efficiently and safely without endangering lives of other people living in the house. They should always be installed outdoor and on stable ground. This is because they produce a deadly gas known as carbon monoxide.

Before installing the generator you need to consult the authorities relevant. While planning to hire an electrician, you need to hire one who is experienced. The reason being they have worked with relevant authorities for a while.

There is the small, mid-size, and large type of generators. The small generates 7 to 10 kW able to run some basic households though cannot run the whole house. We have the mid-size which generates 12 to 20 kW functioning efficiently unlike the small. Large types generate 22-45 kW which can run the entire home. The large types are always permanently locations in protective cases cooled by liquid.

In minimizing the cost, you need to place the generator to the already existing electrical service. You should note that it should be too close. In general, there are guidelines that need to be followed. The generator must be placed on areas where there are prevailing winds that blow away the emits from the exhaust. Generators should be placed away from the living area, bedrooms, and kept in areas that the noise does not affect the neighbors. A five feet distance from openings such as doors and window should be maintained.

Purchasing a backup generator varies in price. The higher the kilowatts a generator can deliver dictates its market price. None of the backup generators is cheap to buy, install and maintain. They all have a price to pay and it all depends on the size of your pocket.

Black outs will always be experienced despite how reliable electricity may be due to some factors. Heavy rains may damage equipment used in ferrying electricity thus causing blackouts. Failure of machinery that generates electricity is another source of blackouts. They affect business that solely depend on electricity and that is when a backup generator is required to provide backup.
