My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

Your explanation of Sta-bil sitting on top of the gas was worth the entire video.

I live in the boonies, I trust the grid about as much as the government. Good video

As a retired mechanic, it's good to see someone putting out a clear, concise video explaining these issues. If you own a home, you should absolutely have an emergency generator AND no how to maintain it.

Consider a propane or LNG generator. We have a propane powered 10 kW Generac unit. A 100 gallon tank will run it for a week, 7x24. It also has the benefit of not having to worry about gasoline storage and shelf life.

Another item to factor in when determining your wattage demands is your well pump. If your located outside of the city limits and on well water, don't forget to add in the power demands of your well pump!

Conspiracies aside I live in an area where we frequently lose power. Fires knocked our power out for a few days while weather conditions have an effect on our power. It is prudent to maintain a source of power regardless of your circumstances. Being prepared is not being paranoid. Thank you for your valuable content!!

There are a couple of things I'll mention just because my degree is in Electrical Engineering. The thing with big non-inverter generators is that they don't create a very clean power so they are not great for any computer equipment like your internet equipment like your router, etc. The issue with varying speed on these is more that they don't always lock in to the 60 hertz frequency that some equipment really wants to have. The only other thing to look out for in an inverter system is whether it generates a true sine wave or something else. Some loads really want to have a true sine wave.

Another guideline is to get a generator with enough power capacity so that you are using 65% to 75% of rated power. You don't want these to run flat out for hours on end.

Propane (and/or natural gas) is a great option for stationary generators. No need to worry about the carbs!

We went with a whole house Generac two years ago. Totally automatic.

I'll give you the CONS: My electric bill runs about $120 a month. Last time I had to run my generator for a week during a power failure I spend over $300 dollar in gasoline. So generating my own power cost about five time more than using the power company. I never complain about my electric bill after that lesson.

I regretfully live in Florida and rode out our last hurricane, we lost power for just over 2 weeks, and thankfully have a 8000w portable generator. I purchased a small AC window unit and shut off most of the house . It kept us comfortable from the heat and humidity, plus we were able to run lights and the refrigerator too! The biggest problem is the cost!!! Approximately $40 a day in gas, plus we had to drive 35 miles to find a gas station with gas, that was open ( we live in a rural area)

I run some power equipment off my generator every month just to keep everything flowing, so when I really need it for power I know it will work. Plus I keep the electric start battery on a battery tender when not in use.

Neighbor upgraded to a stationary whole-house propane Gentac system and I bought his portable gasoline Gentac 7000. Had a manual circuit-breaker interlock switch installed in the house breaker box and an outside socket to plug it into. Can run everything except the electric stove and clothes dryer. We can do heat and domestic water with wood or fuel oil, but the boiler circulation is fed with an electric pump. Also handy as our barn/coops have no electricity.

One difference between the generators and the "power stations" is that the latter only have their rated power. Once that's used up, you must recharge it. Generators supply their rated power as long as they are running for as long as you have fuel or are refueled. The power stations do have value however. You can use a generator to recharge the power station then shut the generator off.
Assuming you have not had a proper generator transfer switch installed in your house wiring, you need to think of extension cords. Some 12/3 120v cords, but also if you want to supply, say a water heater, you'll need a 10/3 240v cord with the correct connector for your generator 240v outlet. You'll need more extension cords than you think and they need to be long enough to get the generator away from the door or window. Or look at how you'll get extension cords into the house before the power is out.
Do not back feed your house wiring without a properly installed transfer switch. If the linemen discover you back feeding from your house, they will cut down your tri-plex from the transformer and you go to the bottom of the list for power restoration, often only after paying a hefty fine. and if your backfeed kills a lineman, well....

One of my maintenance jobs at the beginning of each month is to turn over the generator and allow it to run for a half hour. It’s no big problem, but I’m not crazy about the chore during the winter. Oh, well, during outages I’m grateful I have to do it.

If you install a soft start kit on your a/c condensing unit, your generator will start and run it. There's a channel here on YouTube called DIY HVAC Guy that has great videos and he explains how to do it.

Great video! Lots of great information. Thank you Chickanic!
I’m a lineman for a power company. With climate change & more frequent storms/ power interruptions. The smart person will have a back up power supply. I bought the largest inverter generator available in a Honda for my house (EU7000is). Not only is it an insurance policy you hope you never need? In case you do it’s there. I have been to many job site, personal homes & businesses. Other than an automatic stand by generator. Stand by for me in an association is not an option. Your best bet is a roll out. When I’m out working suicide shifts the last thing I want to hear is my phone ringing with my wife on the other end. Our generator runs the entire house. I can run my 2-1/2 ton central air in the summer as well as the rest of the house. My wife can run a load of laundry as well as cook something in the oven. I don’t care. All I know is when I get home from work I can take a warm shower & crawl under the covers. It’s peace of mind.
I use marine grade Stabil & StarTron fuel enzyme in my ethenol fuel. My genny sits inside a steel enclosure locked away from prying eyes. I have an auxiliary fuel tank that buys me 48 hours of run time on economy mode. I have a trickle charger on it 24/7. I replace the battery every three years. It’s wired into my circuit breaker panel with an inter-lock switch. I have a hard wire remote circuit so my wife can turn it on & off within the safety of our home. When it’s running I barely notice it is on. On standard mode it runs at 58 decibels & 54 decibels on economy load. I hardly notice we are on generator?
Last thing I want to hear is the generator won’t start? Hence why I bought the best.
