In the old days, if there was a power cut, people sat twiddling their thumbs waiting for the power to come on. But now people are so dependent on electricity for so many things in the home that they might not be able to sit calmly waiting for the power to return. They would be worried that the food in the fridge might spoil, the basement might flood, the air-conditioner, their business, the heating system as well as the alarm system would fail. Nobody likes to take such a risk these days. This is why people invest in emergency generators such as a 5500 generator.

A portable home generator of a medium size would be a 5500 Watt generator. It is able to power necessary home appliances like the refrigerator, the freezer, the lights in the house, the sump pump as well as many other appliances that are small. It could even  run the air conditioner unit in summer when power failures are common due to excessive use on the main power grid. A 5500W generator would be sufficient to get you through a power cut and give you some peace of mind, but it would not be capable of powering all the appliances in the house.

A 5500 generator would be ideal for a homeowner who wants to secure them self as well as their family from frequent power failures without having to spend a lot of money. Such a portable home generator produces power in a limited quantity so, one would have to plan on how to manage it in the best possible way.

You just have to see to it that the 5500 generator is not overloaded. You must remember not to power multiple appliances running on the home portable generator simultaneously like refrigerators and pumps. You can start with adding an appliance one time to work out the allowed load and the length of time the generator will keep going.
