The Right Generator Wattage Matters

Knowing the amount of power wattage needed to handle the workload is the first step before buying the new one. List all the essential appliances and devices you want to keep running during an outage. Calculate the total wattage needed to power these items simultaneously, as this will help you determine the ideal generator size that best serves your needs. For example, a 950 watts (w) Electron Gasoline Generator can operate to turn on a 15w Alphalux Ballet LED Bulb, a 50w Kaze Stand Fan, and some essential appliances. The total amount of power wattage will determine the size and watts of generators.

Selecting the right generator size is crucial. An undersized generator won't be able to handle your power demands, while an oversized one can lead to unnecessary expenses. Electron Gasoline Generators come in various capacities, so be sure to choose one that matches your calculated wattage needs. Wilcon Depot offers 950w up to 6 kilowatts (kw) Electron Gasoline Generators.

Learn The Generator Fuel Type

Different fuel types have different energy densities, so some generators will be more fuel-efficient. This is important to consider if you are concerned about the operating costs of your generator. Generators have three main fuel types: gasoline, propane, and natural gas. Gasoline generators are the most common type but are also the least efficient. Propane generators are more efficient than gasoline generators and are less likely to produce fumes. The most efficient is Natural gas generator, but it requires a dedicated natural gas line and is only available for non-portable generators.

The type of fuel used by a generator can also affect its emissions. For example, diesel generators produce more emissions than natural gas generators. This is important to consider if you are concerned about the environmental impact of your generator.

Noise Level Considerations

Generators can be noisy, especially those powered by gasoline engines. High noise levels can lead to noise pollution, disrupting the tranquility of your surroundings and causing inconvenience to you, your family, and your neighbors.

The volume of sound and noise is measured in decibels (dB). A whisper is roughly 30 dB, a normal conversation averages 60 dB, and a motorcycle engine is approximately 95 dB. It is a must to check the decibel rating of the Electron Gasoline Generator you're interested in, as some models are designed to be quieter than others. Loud noises above 120 dB can cause instant damage to your ears.

Nobody likes a noisy neighbor, and the same goes for generators, so opt for Wilcon Depot Electron Generators with as low as 90 dB. Electron gasoline generators are ideal for those studying and working from home since they make less noise.

Installation & Safety Features

Standby generators usually require professional installation, while portable generators from Electron are relatively easy to set up. Consider the installation requirements and ongoing maintenance needs of the generator you choose.

On the one hand, portable generators require manual starting, so consider your preference for convenience. Look for safety features like low-oil shutoff, overload protection, and spark arrestors (for gasoline-powered generators) to ensure safe operation. On the other hand, standby generators usually have an automatic start feature that detects power loss and switches on automatically. (READ: Emergency and Safety Essentials for Different Disasters)

Electron gasoline generators must be placed outside and properly sheltered for safe and efficient usage, especially during rainy weather.
