Standby generators help you weather storm

A: Since Hurricane Irene, I received many questions about the electrical power. So we will revisit the issue. The three most popular questions I usually get about backup generators:

Q: What is an emergency generator?

A standby power is not a portable generator. This is a piece of equipment permanently mounted directly connected to the electrical system of the house. Backup generators also run on natural gas or propane, so there is no need to store gasoline for refueling, as you would with a portable generator.

Q: How do these generators?

A: Actually it is a system in the way your air conditioning unit is considered as a system. Monitoring systems include an "intelligent transfer switch" is often called the "brains" behind the generator. This switch monitors utility power, and if the power comes from the street, it will automatically start circuit and the generator. When the power comes back on the utility, the transfer switch shuts down the system generator. Now it is an intelligent switch.

DuroMax XP4400 4,400 Watt 6.5 HP OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit Review

Anyway, this is a great generator! As another reviewer said, I put gas and oil on fire and on the first pull! Remarkably quiet, runs very smooth, and everything is solid on this unit! Metal gas tank with gauge, fuel cap, metal pins 12v DC load are a great addition if you need to charge a battery while running the generator.Plenty outlets, a gauge of V CB, Nice power switch, the wheel / handle kit is a true bonus, and it also came with a nylon cover for free when it is stored it look like new! Even the paint is done.For money you can not beat that price, especially shipping!! Look around you, you will not find a better deal on a generator with these characteristics. It is interesting to note that the system is a 4400watt PEAK load.It will maintain a 3500watt load, and the extra 900w are the influx casual when, say, a freezer or refrigerator comes in.
