Types of Generators Available:
Standby generators
Standby generators provide consistent energy for long periods. They are installed outdoors and are connected to your home's natural gas or propane line to keep it running during outages. They are generally larger and more expensive than other options but offer reliable energy during extended power outages.
Diesel Generators
Diesel generators run on diesel fuel to power various applications. They are reliable, efficient, and relatively affordable compared to other generators.
Solar-powered generators
Solar-powered generators are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and easy to install and maintain. But they are not reliable during an emergency or at night. However, you can avoid this problem by adding batteries to the system. It will increase its capacity and reliability. If you are looking for one, we are here to help!
Natural-gas generators
Natural-gas generators are a great source of backup power. They're reliable, cost-effective, and easy to maintain. Plus, they don't require fuel storage because the gas is piped directly into the generator. It's essential to consider the size of your generator when selecting one and any local regulations regarding its use. If you have any queries or need help choosing the right natural-gas generator, feel free to reach out!
Portable generators
Portable generators come in two varieties: gasoline-powered and inverter powered. These generators are portable and easy to set up, but they make much noise and produce fumes that can harm people. Inverter generators convert DC (direct current) power to AC (alternating current) power. They are quieter, lighter, and more fuel efficient than traditional generators, as they adjust their engine speed to meet the electric demand. Moreover, their power storing capacity makes them an ideal option while traveling or camping.
Common Generator Issues:
Every generator requires maintenance and repair service regardless of its type. You may face the following common problems associated with it.
Overloading:
One of the most common generator issues is overloading. This occurs when too many devices are plugged into the generator, causing it to overload and shut down. To avoid this, only plug virtual machines and turn off unnecessary ones.
Fuel problems:
Another common issue is fuel related. Keep the generator fueled and use new, clean energy resources appropriate for your model.
Electrical Issues:
Generators can also experience electrical issues, such as faulty wiring or a tripped breaker. Check all wiring before use and reset any breakers that may have been tripped.
Cooling:
The generator can overheat and shut down if it is not properly cooled. Be sure to keep the generator in a well-ventilated area and clean it of any debris that could block airflow. Some models may also require additional cooling, such as an air-cooled or water-cooled model.
Start-up problems:
Generators can also have difficulty starting up, mainly if they haven't been used. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for starting the generator and ensure all connections are secure before starting it up.
Lack of Maintenance:
Neglecting maintenance on a generator can lead to various issues, such as decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and shortened engine life. Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule for your model and perform regular checks on all vital components.
When to Call for help?
No one likes to experience problems with their generator, but they can happen from time to time. However, you can avoid it by having regular checkups.
During these checkups, if you find a minor issue, like not hearing the unit start-up or noticing a decrease in performance, try some simple troubleshooting techniques first.
But if your generator isn’t working, or you’re experiencing any smoke or unusual smells. In that case, it’s best to call for help immediately. This could be due to an unexpected power outage or surge, and attempting repairs yourself may not fix the problem.
