When making decisions regarding how to best power a home or business – even in the event of an emergency – property owners have many factors to weigh. These factors include cost-effectiveness, environmental impact, safety, maintenance and upkeep, and much more.
There are multiple ways to power up your home, even when the power is out, and each has its benefits and drawbacks. When it comes to backup generators, two of the main options are using propane and gasoline.
If you’re stuck trying to decide between a propane generator and a gasoline generator, take a look at the following considerations and see what might be best for you.

Propane vs. Gas Generator - Midwest Generator Solutions
A propane generator can still be used without a propane tank monitor. However, a monitor will make your job as a generator owner easier. Simply hoping you have enough fuel for your standby generator to make it through the next power outage isn’t the best emergency preparedness strategy. After all, running out of fuel is as good as having no generator at all.
A propane tank monitor takes the guesswork out of propane fuel levels for your standby generator. You know your generator will always be ready to use when you need it.

If it seems the number of power outages have increased over the years, you’re not crazy. According to Dave Davis of NPR, from the 1950s to the 1980s, fewer than five significant power outages per year occurred in the U.S. In 2007, the number increased to 76, and in 2011, there were more than 300.

Temperatures become milder in the fall, but this doesn’t mean we’re clear of severe weather. In fact, fall in Indiana is considered a secondary storm season. Last fall was fairly quiet, but November of 2017 brought multiple rounds of severe weather. On one of those occasions, three tornadoes touched down, with top wind speeds of 134 mph. When this type of weather strikes, we can almost always expect a power outage.

In today’s demanding world of security and information integrity, most commercial and industrial facilities rely on a standby generator as their primary source of backup electrical power. Just because Mother Nature slows down in the winter, that doesn’t mean your business has to.
Like you take action to winterize your vehicle, you should show your commercial generator the same preparation. If your generator is not prepared and maintained properly, the frigid temperatures could damage your standby generator system and prevent it from operating when you need it most.

Other than heat and cooling, there are a few other necessary appliances that homeowners rely on - one is food storage equipment.
During a power outage, it is just a matter of time before much of your food has to be discarded. However, with a backup generator, refrigerators and freezers will remain protected. Especially for a large family, the loss of food could be a major setback. For a nursing mother, the loss of frozen breastmilk could certainly be disheartening. Likewise, for a hunter or homesteader, loss of frozen meat could be loss of food and morale.

In general, manufacturers recommend exercising your generator between once a week and once a month. Depending on the purpose of your generator, local, state or federal mandates may require specific exercise cycles as well.
