Frequently Asked Questions

Lennox Generators

Why should I purchase a residential standby generator and not just a portable generator?

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. Lennox™ Residential Generators produce a safe, stable power supply.
