  • What do you want to run when you have no power eg:furnace, lights, tv,etc
  • What fuel will the generator use?
  • Is the fuel readily available or does it have to be installed?

• Q.

  How much does it cost to install a generator?

  The cost varies of course, but the purchase and installation of a portable generator can run from $1500 to $4500 For an automatic it is more in the range of $5500 to $20,000.

• Q.

  What are the advantages of an automatic generator?

  The biggest advantage is that you do not have to be home to activate the generator. If you are away for a vacation the generator will turn on and protect you from frozen pipes and spoiled food! It is also much easier when power failures occur during the night and great for senior citizens! The other important factor is that it turns off automatically when the power is restored. You don't have to monitor when the power comes back, it's done for you automatically.
