Whole House GeneratorAdvertisements
A whole house generator is able to supply electricity to your home or office during times when there is a power outage. During an electricity cut it allows you to continue using essential household and office appliances. Although you cannot use all your electrical appliances as you would in normal circumstances, it is a convenient way to still be able to use devices such as lighting, heating, air conditioning and refrigerators. How To Choose Choosing the correct size home standby generator can be quite difficult because it depends on which essential appliances you want to run during a power outage. Generators can either be classified as portable or stationary. The whole house generator will fall under the stationary category as they are quite large in order to handle the amount of Kilo Watts. The more Watts or Kilo Watts you require, the bigger the generator and the more expensive it is going to be. A 4000W will probably set you back about $300 and will fall under the portable category. 11KW upwards will suffice in supporting your home, but if you want to run most of your appliances during a power cut, you will have to look at something above 20KW which could be bought for about $4000 upwards. Fuel Home generators can run on a variety of fuels such as diesel, natural gas, gasoline (petrol) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Portable gas models are cheaper, but they will not be able to run your whole house. The larger backup home generator systems can be run for long periods of time by connecting them to a natural gas line or diesel. Diesel is the more popular choice as it can be installed virtually anywhere with additional drums of diesel on tap.
A whole house generator can be programmed to monitor the external power supply. If the supply is broken, then the home electrical generator can automatically start itself to supply electricity. This normally takes about 10 to 30 seconds depending on the manufacturer. There is also an option to manually start and stop the home use generators if you prefer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
