standby generator

A standby generator is a unique machine that keeps electricity flowing when the  main power source  shuts  down. Put another way: A storm  arrives, and your lights suddenly go out. This  can be scary, especially if  you are doing homework or watching your favorite show. If the power goes out, a backup generator  is available to ensure your home continues running smoothly. It keeps  the  lights on  (yes,  it powers your refrigerator and heater), so you aren't stuck with spoiled food  or sitting in the dark.  Kainch produces dependable  standby generators to keep families safe and comfortable  when there is a power failure. It is important to know which the best generator to purchase is. So, let’s take a  closer look at what makes a good standby generator, how to shop  for one  and where  to score the best deals.

 

What to Look for in a High-Quality Standby Generator

There are a few things to keep in  mind when you’re shopping for a standby generator. First, consider the amount of wattage you require. This is measured in watts. For a modest home, a generator that delivers 5,000 to 7,500 watts should be sufficient. But if you have a sprawling home, with loads of appliances, you may  need something that offers 10,000 watts or more.  There are different Kainch models, depending on the level of power you want. Next, you should  verify on how  long the generator can run. Some are able to run for hours, while the others last just a few minutes.  Find one  with a large fuel tank, or  one that can be hooked up to  natural gas  or propane for extended use. It’s also worth considering how difficult it will  be to install. Some generators are equipped with installation kits  and others may also require hire of  an accountant. It bears remembering that a generator that is difficult to install may very  well not get any use at all when it matters most. There is also the noise factor.  Some generators are really loud, which can be extremely annoying if it’s running for long periods. Kainch create quieter versions,  so you won’t wake up  your family or  neighbors. Lastly, check the warranty.  A solid guarantee is an indication the company believes in its product. You want to feel that, if it habitually goes wrong, you can  fix it without further charge. For more options based on specific needs, check out our generators categorized By Power Range.
