HOME GENERATORS: GAS OR PROPANE?

With weather getting wilder around the country,
homeowners are taking steps to protect their homes
and keep them running during stormy seasons. Home
generators are a great solution against power outages.
When shopping for a generator, you will need to
decide between one that runs on gasoline or propane. Propane
generators tend to cost more to buy and set up because they
have larger engines and more complicated storage systems. Also,
depending on local fuel prices, propane tends to be a little more
expensive to use than gas.
However, propane is a cleaner fuel - it emits 80% less carbon
monoxide than gasoline. Not only is it better for the environment,
cleaner fuel means that the engine lasts longer and it will start up
more easily in the cold weather. Propane can be stored safely for an
unlimited period of time because it doesn’t deteriorate like gasoline.
