Generator Guides

Plain-spoken guides to owning a generator — storm preparation, maintenance, portable versus standby, and fuel choices — so your backup power is ready when you need it.

Generator Maintenance
Keep it reliable
Portable vs Standby Generator
Pick the right kind
Generator Storm Prep
Ready before the outage

gennyguide’s guides cover the decisions and habits around a generator that a calculator can’t. Storm-season preparation walks through getting your generator, fuel and transfer switch ready before an outage; the maintenance guide keeps it starting reliably year after year; the portable-versus-standby guide helps you pick the right kind for your home; and the fuel guides weigh natural gas, propane and dual-fuel. The tone throughout is calm and practical — readiness and competence, not fear — with safety, especially carbon-monoxide awareness, treated as part of doing it right.
