Generators are designed to generate electric power when no typical power source is available. Generators are often used in the construction industry, but many consumers purchase a generator for home usage. For people who like to be outdoors, but prefer the comfort and convenience of electric power, generators are ideal for campers. Many campgrounds have electrical hook-ups, but for campers who prefer isolated or primitive camping areas, generators are ideal. All generators produce noise, but often these smaller models are designed to run more quietly.

In the event of a power outage, generators have proven themselves to be not just a convenience, but often a necessity. A generator can insure that the home owner has continued use of lights, appliances, and air conditioning. For those dependent upon electric medical devices, home generators are vital.

Generators may be powered by gasoline, diesel, natural gas, or liquefied petroleum. Models are relatively expensive, starting at about $350. These smaller models are not designed for an extended run time and a back up supply of petroleum is necessary. These generators are portable and must be taken out for each usage.

Larger, generators may hook up directly to natural gas lines or other external surfaces and can run for several days. These larger generators may be portable or stationary. An advantage to the stationary model is that it is permanently connected to an external surface, and all that is required to start it up is to simply push a button. Some generators can be activated automatically. They can sense a power outage and start up automatically. When electric power is restored, the automatic generate turns itself off. Expect to pay between $1,500 and $3,000 for these larger models.

Generators are available for whole-house usage. These generators of course are costly, but can increase the value of the home. This would be a distinct advantage for homes in areas prone to hurricanes or severe snow storms.

A wide selection of generators is available at local department and home improvement stores. Larger models may be purchased directly from the manufacturer.
