Generators

A reliable generator keeps the lights on, the tools running, and the job moving when the grid goes down. From backup power for the home to portable jobsite power for contractors, our generators deliver the wattage and runtime to cover what matters. Match the output, fuel type, and features to how — and where — you need power.

Sizing a Generator

Add up the running watts of everything you need to power, then account for the higher starting (surge) watts of motors and compressors. Buy a generator with headroom above that total so you're never running it maxed out.

Types of Generators

• Inverter generators: Quiet, fuel-efficient, and clean enough for sensitive electronics — great for home and recreation.
• Portable generators: Rugged, higher-output workhorses for the jobsite and whole-home backup.
• Dual-fuel and tri-fuel: Run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas for flexibility and longer runtime.

Features to Compare

Look at running and peak watts, fuel type and tank size for runtime, noise level, outlet configuration, and extras like electric start, remote start, and CO safety shutoff.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size generator do I need?

Total the running watts of your loads, add the surge watts of the largest motor, and pick a generator above that number. Sizing up avoids overload and extends the unit's life.

What is a dual-fuel generator?

One that runs on both gasoline and propane — tri-fuel adds natural gas — giving you fuel flexibility and longer runtime during extended outages.

Are inverter generators worth it?

For quiet operation and clean power for electronics, yes. For maximum watts per dollar on a jobsite, a conventional portable often makes more sense.
