Natural Gas Home Standby Generators
Clean, quiet, and neighborhood friendly, all residential generator models run on either natural gas or propane.
Why use an residential generator instead of a portable for home standby emergency power? A permanent residential generator set includes many additional features, including a more complex control system, and usually has more power capacity. It also has a weather protective enclosure that is also designed for sound reduction.
