Types of Generators

Choosing the right generator depends on your power needs and home size.

Here are the main types to consider:

• Portable Generators: Best for temporary or small-scale power needs, portable generators require manual operation. They are cost-effective but not suited for a whole-home backup power supply.
• Inverter Generators: Compact and fuel-efficient, inverter generators are ideal for powering specific appliances or outdoor activities. They are quieter but limited in capacity.
• Whole Home Generators: Also known as standby generators, these systems provide uninterrupted power to your entire home. Permanently installed, they activate automatically during outages.
• Whole House Generators: Synonymous with standby generators, whole house generators ensure comprehensive power coverage, making them suitable for larger homes or critical needs, such as life-sustaining medical equipment.

For uninterrupted and reliable power, a whole-home or whole-house generator is the superior choice, particularly for Kansas residents facing frequent storms and outages.

 

Benefits of Generators

Installing a generator offers numerous advantages:

• Reliable Power Supply: Maintain access to essential systems like HVAC, lighting, and refrigeration.
• Increased Property Value: A whole home generator enhances your home’s resale value, making it an investment in both comfort and equity.
• Safety and Security: Keep your security systems and outdoor lighting operational during blackouts.
• Convenience: Automatic activation eliminates the hassle of manual setup, ensuring seamless operation.
• Device Protection: Prevent damage from power surges when electricity is restored.
• Preparedness: With a generator, you’re ready for emergencies, offering peace of mind during extreme weather events.
• Support for Medical Needs: Ensure life-sustaining medical equipment remains powered during outages. 

A whole home generator is not just about comfort, it’s about safeguarding your home and loved ones.

Selecting the Right Generator

Selecting the right generator for your home involves evaluating several key factors:

• Power Requirements: Calculate the total wattage needed to power essential appliances and systems.
• Fuel Type: Choose between natural gas, propane, or diesel based on availability, cost, and environmental considerations.
• Location: Generators must be installed in a well-ventilated, code-compliant area outside your home.
