Key Factors to Consider

1. Power Requirements:

  • Determine what appliances and systems you need to power during an outage. Franco Power can perform a power load analysis to help you decide.

 

2. Generator Type:

  • Standby Generators: Permanently installed and automatically power your home during outages.

  • Portable Generators: More affordable but require manual setup. 


3. Fuel Type:

  • Propane, natural gas, or diesel—each has pros and cons depending on availability and your home’s setup.
