Whole-Home Generators vs. Portable Generators<\/h2>\r\n

Portable generators are a good solution for backup power, but they tend to be smaller than standby generators, meaning they cannot run as many appliances simultaneously.<\/p>\r\n

Plus, portable generators must be refueled constantly and serviced often, and if they’re set up too close to your home, they can allow dangerous carbon monoxide to enter.<\/p>\r\n

Whole-home generators can provide all the power you need to keep your home comfortable and safe during an outage, and they are permanently connected to your home with no need to set up the generator and run extension cords when power is lost.<\/p>\r\n

With high electrical capacity options, standby generators can power even large homes\u00a0safely and efficiently.<\/p>\r\n
