Generator Deals

Generators on sale for backup power

Generator Deals follows each generators sale for home backup, camping trips and job sites. Portable, inverter and dual-fuel units appear next to standby systems and battery power stations, which helps families prepare for outages before storm season rather than during it.

Generators sale: portable, inverter or standby?

• Add up the running watts of everything you need to power, plus the higher starting watts of motors such as refrigerators and pumps.
• Inverter models produce cleaner power for electronics and run quieter, while conventional portable generators give more watts for their size.
• Never run a generator indoors or in a garage, keep it outside away from windows and doors, and use a carbon monoxide alarm inside the home.
• Dual-fuel generators run on gasoline or propane, and powering home circuits needs a transfer switch installed by an electrician.

Which suits you: Campers and tailgaters usually get the most from small inverter models, while homeowners in outage-prone areas may need larger portables or a permanent standby unit.
