Generator Power
Generator power is a power supply used to power many different appliances and come in the different types. An engine powered generator is a way to provide your house with emergency power. The typical price for any 5,000-watt generator runs between $500-1000 and can produce 120 or 240 volt power. At the 1kw level, they use about a quart of gas per 2 hours.
Some of the shortcomings of engine powered generators are fuel storage capacity, maintenance, and the racket (sound) they make. Using gas for fuel - gas cannot be stored for long, maybe a month. So unless the fuel is being used it has to be replaced at some point.

To get a generator's power to your house you have to run power cords from it to the targeted appliances. This way of connecting generator power is good for things like TVs and refrigerators. You can also have an electrician wire it into your home and then just switch to generator power that way. The latter is suggested for big items like your furnace and pumps and a 240v generator is the ticket, along with safety issues being properly addressed. Note the safety issues below.
It is worth the few hundred dollars it takes to have an electrician set things up properly. Also be certain your generator is grounded properly. You can get a grounding rod at hardware stores. You also want to cut your home off from the power grid before starting it, unless you want to try to power your whole street:-) This is also a safety issue too though. There is something called an interlock system that you can have the electrician install. Upon the generator breaker turning on, this cuts your home's breaker automatically.
Another form of generator power is for site specific reasons such as a job/construction site, camping, farms, and motor homes where there is no grid available. These are portable generators and are made specifically for areas that have no electrical power source. They are easy to move around as they are on wheels and can power all kinds of appliances and equipment like sump pumps, refrigeration, and furnaces by way of extension cords.
Portable generators are cheaper for the most part compared to home standby systems and do not need professional help installing them. They run on various types of fuel but the smaller models get their fuel from a tank, which limits the length of time they can be run, usually 10 hours or less. There are some models (expensive) that can be hooked into an outside fuel source though.
Some of the fuel issues related to any type of generator are as follows and mainly relate to shelf life:
Propane is a good choice during wide spread outages where the grid is down as it has an unlimited shelf life. It is one of just a couple of fuels available during these times also. Propane is very flammable.
Diesel powered is efficient - good on the engines, least flammable, and is the quietest of the bunch. It has a longer shelf life than gas but like gas may not be available during a widespread blackout. Diesel is the most expensive type.
Gas - these generators are the cheapest but note the shelf life issues above. During a power blackout gas pumps don't work either. And given the shelf life problem, you can't store it somewhere for just such a case. Gas is also harder on engines and may have starting problems in cold weather.
Overall, the quieter model of generator you want to buy or rent, the more it is going to cost. But keep in mind that the cheaper ones are not just sort of loud - this is a machine that is running, like a riding tractor for instance. Make certain that if your generator is going to be mobile that it has wheels. You can also get a wheels kit to add to them if necessary. Generators way a few hundred pounds and up.
Safety notes for portables - Most need to be protected from certain weather elements - snow/rain. These are outside generators and should never be placed inside. Fumes will build up and cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Generators can be rented outright or bought from dedicated equipment and rental companies to hardware stores.
An alternative to generator power is an inverter but only with small scale power needs, say 200 watts. This is an electronic gadget that converts 12v to 120 volt power. Inverters are quiet and maintenance free - if you are using them from your own car battery. Usual, advantageous uses for inverters would be to power things like light bulbs, radio, and on a temporary short term basis. They can be custom built up to 2kw but the costs involved in that make switching to generator power a better option.
