Power Guide:
How Many Watts Will Your Generator Need to Produce?

Add up the wattage of tools, appliances and motors you want to run at the same time. Then select a generator with the RUNNING wattage rating to match or exceed the total load. Keep in mind that tools and appliances with electric motors require additional tool/appliance SURGE wattage at startup that can be double or triple the normal running wattage requirement. Look at the surge watts required and make sure you choose a generator with enough additional wattage to start them. Keep in mind that you typically are not starting more than half of the items at the same time.
Most home appliances and power tools are 120 Volts; larger appliances like electric stoves and clothes dryers may be 240 Volts. Generator power is measured in Watts:
Power = Current x Voltage or Watts = Volts x Amps

You can use our Wattage Chart to estimate the wattage of the tools, appliances and motors you will be operating at the same time. Wattage noted below is approximates only; please refer to tool or appliance itself for specific wattage required or orders our easy-to-use tester below.

Why use a propane generator?
Due to the rising concern for the environment, propane generators have become a very popular choice for consumers. They burn clean fuel which is always a definite plus and are also are very efficient when compared to gasoline or diesel generators. You can attach propane tanks of various size/weigh to the unit including a BBQ tank or even larger ones used for fireplaces or pool heating.
For consumers that will be using their generator for emergency cases, you do not have to worry about rotting gasoline or diesel that remains inside unit for long periods of time. With propane generators you can just disconnect tank and store away for the next time it is needed.

More Reliable
Our generators have passed 700 hours of reliability and durability testing. National standard is only 350 hours.

More Durable
Gasoline will dilute the lube oil as the generator is in use. This reduces the protection ability of the oil. Propane will not reduce the lubricating abilities of the oil. This generator’s wearing rate is much less the gasoline generators therefore increases life expectancy by about 25%!

Advantages
• Easy Start
• Convenience for operation
• Easy maintenance
• Cost saving (up to 30% compared to gasoline generators)
• No smoke! Environment friendly! EPA approved
• Longer life (+25% compared to gasoline)

EFFICIENCY
With today’s high gasoline prices, propane generators are your solution for a efficient money saving source of power. When tested, propane generators have proven to save you up to 20-30% in cost!
