Gas powered, diesel, or natural gas generators can all be used as full home stand by or back up power systems. Many people live in rural areas that allow them to raise a family without the high crime rate of more populated areas. These areas often experience blackouts due to seasonal storms. Full home generators are considered a requirement to everyday life.

A quick note to remember about purchasing a system is to already know your home specifications. For example knowing your homes square footage, if the system will also power out buildings like your garage, workshop, or shed. Also have in mind what appliances it will give power to and the size of any central heating or cooling unit.

Generally gasoline powered or diesel powered systems are used for industrial purposes. They are more packed with power and are engineered for heavy duty performance.

An industrial system is primarily used for large jobs. Most of them are known as 3 phase. They are designed and engineered for maximum durability and performance.

They are built to meet very rugged conditions and are best suited for commercial or retail spaces. Residential homes generally do not need the power that is supplied by an industrial generator.
