Standby Generator
Standby Generators are designed to be permanently installed outside your home and can provide power to your entire house during an outage. We recommend standby generators for those who experience frequent outages and/or wish to power the majority of their home appliances during an outage.
Portable Generator
Portable Generators are specifically designed to provide power to select appliances for a limited time in case of power outages. They are a cost-effective solution for those who need to power only specific parts of their home during an outage. Portable generators also offer additional versatility, as they aren’t permanently installed.
Standby vs. Portable Generators
When it comes to choosing the right generator for your home, there are two main options to consider: standby generators and portable generators.
While both have their advantages, it’s important to understand the differences between the two in order to make the most informed decision for your home needs.
Differences in Installation
Standby Generator Installation
Standby Generators require permanent installation on your property and are designed to support your entire home through power outages . Once installed, it is difficult to relocate the generator at a later date.
Portable Generator Installation
Portable Generators do not require permanent installation and can be moved from place to place. A licensed electrician must install a manual transfer switch however, which allows the generator to operate.
Differences in Fuel Type
Standby Generator Fuel Types
Standby generators are powered by existing natural gas or propane lines, so you don’t have to worry about refueling during an extended outage. In the case that your home does not have existing fuel lines, a propane tank can be installed above or below ground for use.
Portable Generator Fuel Type
Portable generators are powered by gasoline. Unlike Standby Generators, Portable Generators require manual refueling between uses.
Differences in Capabilities
Standby Generator Capabilities
Standby Generators are ideal for powering your entire home including your lights and larger electrical appliances such heating/cooling systems and/or security systems.
They are permanently installed and wired into your electrical system, so you don’t have to worry about moving them around or storing them when they are not in use.
In the event of a power outage, Standby Generators automatically start and restore power to your home within seconds, whether or not you are home.
Portable Generator Capabilities
Portable generators can provide power to select home appliances for a short period of time.
Unlike Standby Generators, Portable generators must turned on manually. This requires someone to be home during the power outage.
It’s important to note that portable generators cannot provide power to a large portion of your home and should not be relied on in instances of long-term power outages.
Differences in Cost
Standby Generator Cost
The installation cost of a standby generator varies from home to home based on layout and electric needs. For this reason, Jay Moody HVAC offers free in-home estimates to ensure that the system we offer customers is right for their home.
Because of the professional installation work required and size of the equipment installed, Standby Generators are much more expensive than Portable Generators.
