9500 watts

Question 1

What size portable generator do I need?

Accepted Answer

You'll want to consider the wattage of the appliances you want to power and factor in a safety margin. For basic needs like lighting and a refrigerator, a 2,000-3,000-watt generator is usually sufficient.

Question 2

How do I start a portable generator?

Accepted Answer

Many portable generators come with recoil starts, which require a manual pull to activate the engine. Others offer electric starts, allowing you to turn a key or push a button. For even more convenience, remote start models will enable you to start your generator from a distance.

Question 3

Are there features on a portable generator that help protect my devices and me?

Accepted Answer

Features like a CO shutoff, overload protection, and GFCI outlets protect your electronic devices and you from potential hazards. A CO shutoff prevents carbon monoxide buildup, while overload protection guards against damage from overworking the generator. OSHA-required GFCI outlets provide safety for any sensitive electronic equipment you plug in.
