What can I power with a home standby generator?
Hi, my name is Peter Thornton with Duthie Power Services. I’m “Ask Pete” on our website. The question is – during a power outage, of course, your generator comes on, but what’s the situation when there’s an earthquake and your natural gas at your home is shut off? To be honest, that’s a rare situation and isn’t always a concern, but if so, you can also purchase a generator and have it using propane power just like you do for your barbecue at home. That way, you do have a source there that cannot be cut off, and it is also readily available.
