Thu, Feb 19th 2015, 09:00 AM

When it comes to finding the best solution to providing backup power to your house in case of an emergency or power outage, you will find that propane generators fits the bill. Thanks to the rising costs in fuel surcharge due to the increase in price for gasoline, electricity in The Bahamas has become very expensive. It is vital that you find a low cost option that will enable you to power your home without breaking your bank account. This is where a propane generator with an automatic transfer switch comes in. You will find that a propane generator can help you to have all of the energy you need at the lowest possible cost and give your family the peace of mind they deserve. 


Propane generators run off propane alone. It is a type of fuel that is easier to have delivered and is comparable, if not less expensive, then diesel, in the long run. With companies like Shell in Nassau and FOCOL in Freeport, you can have your propane delivered, at no extra cost to you, with a 24 to 48 hours’ notice.

Using propane to provide the fuel for the generator is also a good deal cleaner than gasoline. Propane doesn't let off anywhere near as much pollution into the air as diesel or gasoline does, meaning that your generator can run much cleaner than any diesel or gasoline generator would. Propane is also much safer to use, as it is much less likely to explode in your face that a tank of gasoline would. Propane is a fuel that stores well, and you will find that a tank of propane can be stored nearly indefinitely. You can fill a single tank with propane, and it will stay full as long as you keep the nozzle tightly closed. You can store a tank of propane for years, and you will be able to keep your generator perpetually fueled, thanks to the fact that propane tanks hold the fuel without letting it escape or evaporate like gasoline does.

You will usually be able to get more energy using a propane tank, meaning that you will need less propane to power the various appliances and electronics in your home in case of an emergency situation in which you need the generator to run.

You will find that the size of the tank is the main advantage that is offered by propane tank suppliers. As mentioned above, you can use any size of tank connected to your propane generator; of course, we would recommend a minimum of a 120 gallon tank to provide you with prolonged use of the generator in the case of an extended power outage, as experienced in a hurricane or if the power company has a major interruption in power or downed power lines. You will find that using a propane generator will be the best way to save money and provide energy to your home in case of an emergency.
