Power outages can happen
anytime, anywhere, and they can pose a serious
inconvenience and even health risk to you and your
family. Standby home generators can provide a reliable
source of electricity for your home in the event of a
power outage, even when you aren’t there.
Since standby generators
run on either propane or natural gas, they can be hooked
directly to your existing gas lines. In fact, propane
marketers are able to provide homeowners with an
underground tank that is protected from the elements so
that a constant source of fuel is available. On average,
a 250 gallon propane tank fueling a seven kilowatt
standby generator would provide enough electricity to
power a home for five days, while a 500 gallon
underground tank would provide 11 days’ power.
