Don’t get left in the dark during the next storm! We have seen an increase of strong storms here in the Delaware Valley with power outages affecting a growing number of people each year. Gasoline-powered portable generators are noisy and not suitable for a long-term outage.
Propane generators are powerful and a smart investment in maintaining safety and comfort in your home.
After a power interruption, it only takes a connected propane-powered generator 10 seconds to start automatically. Unlike gasoline and diesel, propane fuel won’t degrade over time.
A 7kW standby generator drawing from two 120-gallon propane tanks will provide enough electricity to power your home for up to five days. Propane-powered generator to typically burns 2-3 gallons per hour. Note that a propane tank is considered “full” at 80 percent water capacity, a full 120-gallon tank contains 96 gallons of propane. That means a 120-gallon tank that only powers a home’s propane generator can last 4 days.
Propane generators are quiet – most units produce as little as 60 decibels of noise.
