The Home Generator Buyer's Guide: Types, Size, Fuel


Blackouts can cause significant disruptions and challenges in daily life. Are you considering installing a home generator system to ensure uninterrupted power supply? Home generators are a reliable solution to keep your household running smoothly, even during unexpected power outages.

There are several different types of home generators available. If you're thinking about buying one, you need to make sure you get the right one for your needs.

In this guide, we'll go over the factors you need to consider. Keep reading for more.


Generator Types

Among the most popular types of generators are standby generators. These are placed in the home and automatically activated during power outages.

They are designed to power an entire home, including essential appliances in the kitchen, HVAC systems, and any other electrical-dependent devices.

Standby generators automatically activate in the event of a power outage, ensuring seamless operation of all your household systems. Even when you're away from home during a power outage, this automatic feature will safeguard your house.

Portable generators are far less substantial. They may be ideal for things like camping but aren't capable of powering an entire home.


Home Generator Sizing

Generator size is one of the most important things to consider. Home generators are available in various sizes. Consider the size of your house and what you need to power. At Paramount Power System, we have generators ranging from 12KW to 150KW. Our knowledgeable staff will help you choose a suitable emergency generator for your home. Contact our team to discuss your needs.


Fuel Options

If you're looking for efficiency, a natural gas generator may be the best option. You can usually connect one of these directly to your gas line, so you don't have to worry about spare fuel. If your property does not have natural gas, propane is another viable option to fuel a generator.


Diesel generators are known for their efficiency, robust performance even in cold climates, and long-term durability. They can be a good choice in the long term.

Propane is a clean-burning fuel, resulting in fewer emissions, making it an environmentally-friendly choice.
