Portable propane generators are the electric power supplies to set in the center of your recreational and emergency power generation needs.
A portable propane generator can be used to power your entire home or supply ample energy to your tools on any job site.
Propane comes from natural gas and crude oil. It burns cleaner than other fossil fuels and will not smoke and pollute the air in your backyard with soot.
Propane generators are fueled via cylinders that have been filled with propane elsewhere, you can use them with ordinary 5lb. barbecue tanks (or larger). You can also hook them up to a refillable large tank service.
Propane generators do produce carbon dioxide. But the energy production is much more efficient than other fuel sources that produce more carbon dioxide.
Experts say that a 45 gallon cylinder can power and 8 kilo-watt generator for 24 hours.
The power from a 3,000 Watt to 6,000 Watt Propane generator is plenty to sustain several electrical appliances for a good amount of time depending on size of the home and energy needs.
This method provides heated water, electricity, cooking fuel for many homes and RVs via adapters across America currently.
For a small home of 1200 sq. feet an affordable 3,500 Watt propane generator will do the trick, for a larger home you might want to consider a 6,000 Watt propane generator for more output. What I like about the 6,000 Watt unit is that it has wheels to move it from storage to home during power outages. Here is the comment that caught my eye from a happy customer who purchased the larger unit on Amazon.com:
This generator is more than I expected. During the power outage it ran for 10hr.15min. on a 5gal. bottle of propane.
Grab yourself a 40 Pound Propane Cylinder and generate power for longer periods.
All Power generators are made by Jiangsu Jiangdong in China but they also sell the same generator in the US under the names Gentron and JD Tek. The only complaints that I see so far is from people that received a damaged generator because of low quality packaging. Just insure your delivery when you checkout online and have the item returned if you are not satisfied and you are good to go!
Another common problem with new and old generators of any brand is that they do not sometimes start and need a boost. This is caused when the unit sits and the fuel system dries. Well used generator systems never fail to start. A shot of ether or carburetor starter fluid will start a propane generator every time. There are not many parts to break on a generator, it really is a simple but extremely useful machine.
The advantages of propane generators over gas generators is obvious. From the lower cost of propane, the fact that it burns cleaner and longer, to this fuels easier to storage malleability as well as longer shelf life; propane proponents have proven its superiority long ago. If fact there is a classic cartoon that references this as common knowledge among the most conservative of thinkers.
Propane fuel cylinders are easily interchangeable for full cylinder tanks. The cartoon King of the Hill refers to this phenomenon week in and week out.
Propane, propane generator, and accessories are warming water, homes and plates both indoors and in backyards across America.
