Buying A Generator

Whether you’re camping or preparing for potential power outages, a generator is an incredibly valuable piece of equipment. These machines ensure you have a reliable power supply wherever you are. They can even be used to just give you a boost when you’re using power tools! But not all generators are created equal, from varying performance specs to differing price points. 

We here at Escondido Cycle Center know how taxing the hunt for the right generator can be, so we’ve put together a few steps for finding the one you need! If you want to know more, or if you’d like to see our stock, contact our store in Escondido, California. Our friendly staff will work with you to find what you need at the prices you want.

The first step in any major purchase is to create a budget. Crunch some numbers to figure out what you can realistically afford, then narrow that down to what you’re really willing to spend. That way, you won’t over or underspend, ensuring you get the best option for your means. A budget also narrows down your potential options considerably. 

Factor in a number of things to your budget beyond just your savings and income. If the generator needs to last years or more, you’ll be paying extra for durability. If you’re using the generator frequently, you’ll need to consider the costs of fuel and maintenance. You don’t want to empty the bank for a machine you use once or                                                         twice every few years, but you do want to spend enough to get a product you can rely on.

Consider where you’ll be using your generator and use that to help determine how large it needs to be. If you’re in a toolshed or other confined space, you’ll need a smaller generator that won’t take up all available room. It will need to rest comfortably in the work area in question.

Your generator needs to generate enough wattage to power everything you’ll be using. If you want to be able to use all nearby tools at once, you’ll want to add up their entire combined wattage and find a generator that meets those needs. If you’re okay with only powering a few things at once, find the highest-wattage combination you’ll be using and use that as your base figure.

Generators tend to use three fuels: diesel, gasoline, and solar power. Some generators can run on multiple fuel types at once, meaning that even if one runs out it can still putter on. To figure out the right fuel source for you, consider:



 

  • Cost

  • Availability

  • Noise and air pollution

  • Maintenance needs and costs
