800W - 2000W Portable & RV Generators
Having a backup energy source in the event of a power outage has almost become a necessity, but there are some situations that can make it difficult to get one. You may not have enough space for one due to local code or not be allowed to install one in your area. More often than not the issue is with the cost of the generator itself. A home standby unit can easily cost you over three thousand dollars just for the unit alone and then you have to factor in the cost of installation. You have to either find an installation company to do all of the work or you can hire an electrician and plumber. Then there are permits, gas meters, propane tanks, upgrades to your services, and multiple other things to consider.

A portable generator is exactly as the name suggests, that is to say it will provide power to your home and can be moved around easily. These units are made to be used in situations where having a home standby unit isn’t an option. Depending on the manufacturer you choose, there are options for gasoline, propane, natural gas, tri-fuel, and diesel for fuel. The main convenience in portable lies with the ability to be able to move the unit. Units that are connected to your home are immobile, however you can take your portable with you anywhere you go. Since it isn’t attached to your home then there usually isn’t any code that you would have to follow unless you are in California or Massachusetts. Price, of course, is a huge benefit in the portable market since your average unit cost about eight hundred dollars compared to the thousands you would spend for the home models. There are lots of different models to choose from including commercial, inverter, or home/general use portables. We sell lot of different manufacturers too so if you have any questions just give us a call.
