Background on electric generators
Electric generators come in all shapes, sizes and prices and are used in many different situations. They might be used in industrial, commercial, or residential environments to supply backup power in the case of a power outage to your home; they can be used for stand by powering your remote cabin's appliances, and so on. Regardless of your intended use, Babb's will give you some basic information and insight that will help you find the right electric generator for you.

Features and functions to look for in electric generators
Since the basic function of electric generators is to supply electricity, the first question to ask regarding your situation is 'how much electricity do you need?' For home use, it's fairly straightforward to figure out the desired output of your generator. As a general rule, for emergency home power backup, average-sized homes between 1000 and 3000 square feet will require a generator that produces anywhere between 3000-5000 watts. To get a more precise calculation or for other applications, you can add up the number and types of electrical devices that will need to be powered at the same time. Add the wattage requirements for all of these devices together to find you overall wattage that you'll need from your generator.

Beyond wattage capacity, other features to look for when shopping for an electric generator include:

Sound- how noisy is the unit (usually measured in decibels)?

Fuel Supply- is the generator powered by gas, diesel, propane or natural gas? For home stand by units you can use the type of fuel supplied to your home.
