Home Portable Generators

The popularity of the home portable generator is due to their lower cost and relative ease of use. Since these units are portable, they can be used almost anywhere and require little setup. This also makes these generators popular for use at home outdoor events, camping, or anywhere utility power is out of the reach of an extension cord.

Safety is an issue with home portable generators if they are not used properly. These units must never be operated indoors, or in a home garage even with the door open due to the potential for exhaust fume buildup. In addition, homeowners must be careful not to overload the capacity of the generator by attenpting to operate too many electric devices at the same time. Careful attention to the operating instructions that come with each unit will make this a safe and rewarding purchase.
