We are the generator guys! We want you to know that att some point in your future, your electrical power will be lost. For an hour, …for a day, …even for a week or so! You should call 530-642-2476 to learn about a safe back-up source for power.
If you feel prepared because you have a small gasoline-fueled generator in your garage, think again. While a little generator can get you through a camping trip with your RV, or run some tools around your yard, using one to help in a power outage has some serious drawbacks; you need to let it cool down before you can refuel it so you don’t start a fire! And it should be hooked into a special connection to send power into a home. Did you know that?
Aside from the danger, a small generator won’t power much of anything. What do you need most? the pellet stove? the well pump? the TV? Really, You should have an emergency generator that runs on propane*. As long as you have a adequate tank, you could go for days without grid power, depending on power provided by your quiet generator in the back yard. And if you choose, you can have automatic start-up when it senses the power outage.

Early snow falls wet and heavy, dropping tree branches on power lines, leaving thousands without power. No lights, no well water, no heat, and for hours to several days! At first it's an inconvenience. During the day you can stare out the window. At night it's a different story; when it's dark you need to have some candles or flashlights; kids get scared. Candles can be dangerous. Your pellet stove won't provide heat. You will wish you had a back-up generator!
