Whole Home Generators Vs Portable Units
When purchasing a generator for your house, you must choose between a portable unit and a whole-house system.
While portable units can be helpful, there are many advantages to installing an automatic backup generator.
These units are safer than portable ones as they produce less of a threat of carbon monoxide poisoning than portable units.
They also start automatically within seconds of you losing power at your house. This is quicker than having to connect a portable generator. This also means they will turn on even when you’re not home, so your house is protected when you’re away.
Standby generators are also less expensive to run than portable units, as they run on your home’s gas supply, and you don’t need to purchase additional fuel.
