Generator Services in Scottsdale

Types of Generators

A generator can supply you with continuous power whenever you need it, keeping you safe and comfortable during a power outage.

There are several types of generators to consider:

• Natural gas generators: These generators use diesel or gasoline motors, and they can be either portable or stationary. They’re great for residential use because they’re inexpensive and highly efficient. However, they can be loud and produce emissions.
• Liquid-fueled generators: These generators use oil, kerosene, or propane to produce power. They’re more efficient than gas-powered generators, but they’re also more expensive and require special refueling services.
• Hydro-powered generators: These generators use kinetic energy from flowing water to power your home in case of a power outage. They’re very expensive but can provide reliable power for many years.
• Wind-powered generators: These generators use wind to create power. They’re great for remote locations but aren’t ideal for residential use, because they can be expensive and aren’t very efficient.

When to Install a Generator

A generator can be a great addition to your residential building. If you live in an area that’s prone to severe weather or natural disasters, a generator can provide you with peace of mind. It’s also a good idea to install a generator at your commercial building if you have heavy electrical loads.

It’s a good idea to consider installing a generator if you:

• Live in an older residential area 
• Live in a remote area without access to power lines
• Live in a home that’s hard to rewire, such as an older manufactured home
• Own a commercial building with a large power load

If you aren’t sure if you should install a generator, our experienced technicians can assess your home or commercial building to determine if a generator would benefit you.
