Generac 20 KW Automatic Backup Power Generator
When you’re searching for a backup power source for your home, nothing beats a mounted unit set beside your air handler and heating system-they blend right in as they look so similar. They also turn on automatically when the power goes out. Typically powered by a large LP or propane tank, these systems can range in size and function. In some cases, the power may go out; and you wouldn’t even know it if the alarm didn’t warn you! Check out all the great Generac Generators for yourself and choose a model that matches your homes power consumption.
Champion Portable RV Generator
If you’re looking for a more portable generator that you can take almost anywhere, look no further than the Champion Portable. This wheeled generator quietly runs on gasoline and provides a plenty of power for all your needs. A pair of 110 plugs and a 220 volt outlet makes it a versatile source of power as well. Two large wheels and an ergonomic handle allow you to take this fine generator over almost any terrain.
If you’re not into the smelly fumes and noisy power generators, then you need a power invertor. A power invertor takes power from a battery-typically your car and inverts it to 110 volts of electricity. A small fan is all the noise you’ll hear and a faint smell of ozone as the power inverts in these smaller power sources. But beware as these portable power sources don’t produce a whole lot of juice.
Sportsman Gen7000 Multi Fueled Generator
When you need a rugged generator that you can take almost anywhere, but have only limited options for fuel, you need a Sportsman Gen7000 Multi Fueled Generator. This powerful but portable generator runs off of gasoline, propane or LP so you can easily use a variety of fuels to power this 7000 watt generator. Perfect for storing over winter or summer months, then breaking it out when you need it, with a tank of propane fuel ready to go.
