Propane Generators - Portable & Standby Power Systems

Propane Generators for Reliable Backup Power

Propane generators provide dependable power for residential backup, job sites, and outdoor applications. These units run on clean-burning liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), offering extended runtime and reduced maintenance compared to gasoline-only models.

Dual-Fuel Generator Technology

Most propane generators feature dual-fuel capability, allowing operation on both propane and gasoline. This flexibility ensures power availability regardless of fuel source. Propane tanks store indefinitely without degradation, making these generators ideal for emergency preparedness and seasonal use.

Key Specifications

• Power Output: 2,000W to 12,000W+ starting watts
• Runtime: 8-20+ hours on standard 20 lb propane tank at 50% load
• Fuel Efficiency: 0.3-0.6 gallons per hour depending on load
• Noise Levels: 60-75 dB at rated load
• Transfer Switch Compatible: Most models support automatic home integration

Applications

Propane generators serve multiple purposes: whole-house backup power during outages, RV and camping power supply, construction site operation, and tailgating. Inverter models provide clean power suitable for sensitive electronics including computers and medical equipment.

Installation and Safety

These generators require proper ventilation and must operate outdoors only. Connection to existing propane infrastructure or portable tanks requires appropriate regulators and hoses. Many units include low-oil shutdown, overload protection, and electric start functionality.
