Generator Questions, Help and Tips

Portable generators may be less expensive initially, but they present many limitations, inconveniences, hidden costs...and even potential hazards. With a portable generator, you must turn it on, plug in extension cords, and constantly replenish the supply of gasoline—which is especially problematic when gas station pumps quit working in a power outage. Portable generators can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, a threat clearly stated on the government–mandated warning label every portable unit must carry. In addition, portable generators—and even some standby generators—produce unstable, low–quality power that can damage sensitive home electronics.
