When it comes to the variety of choices you have when shopping for a portable Honda generator, it pays to take the time to address several considerations. The first thing to consider is exactly how the generator is going to be used. If it’s going to be used for lighter uses exclusively, a smaller Honda generator will likely be enough to supply all of the required power needs.
It gets more complicated if, in addition to recreational uses, the generator is going to be used to provide backup power to the home in the event of a power outage. Except for smaller homes, a portable generator will probably not be able to supply power for every appliance, lighting, heating, etc. If this is the case, prioritize the appliances you will need powered on and then total the demand. To play it safe, make your calculations using the power needed to start the appliance, known as “peak power values”.
Another consideration that is often taken into account after a purchase is the ease of portability for the unit. If the generator is too large or heavy for you to move, it could limit its uses and you may not be able to use it for all the things you had planned. This becomes a bigger problem if the unit has to be moved to act as a backup power generator for the home.
It’s often the case that it becomes difficult to accurately measure everything you may want to power on with your Honda generator. To speak with a specialist on these areas, visit: http://www.harborpowerhouse.com/ or call (877) 837 2648.
