Generators are a smart option in you live in an area with a higher risk of power outages, or areas that have more trees that can topple on top of power lines. It’s a huge inconvenience to lose power in situations like these—you can run the risk of freezing your pipes or having to pay for a hotel to live comfortably.

There are two main types of generators: standby and portable. A standby generator will kick on as soon as you lose electricity and can power most of your home’s appliances. A whole house generator, as you could guess, powers your entire house, while a selective circuit generator can maintain power for 8-12 circuits of your choosing. Portable generators, on the other hand, are less expensive but can only handle a few appliances. They need to be connected to your electrical panel via a transfer switch.
