Propane vs. Gasoline
Portability: Gasoline generators are typically more portable than LP generators. Gasoline generators have
on-board tanks, but a propane unit must be powered by piping propane in from an exterior tank. Propane units
may be a bit bigger than comparable gasoline generators.
Environment: Propane burns cleaner than natural gas. Carbon monoxide emissions range between 20% to
40% lower. Although burning propane puts 10% more methane into the atmosphere, the result is still a net
decrease in effective greenhouse gases.

3. Storage: Propane will not degrade, so you can keep several propane tanks on hand and store them for an
unlimited amount of time. Gasoline has a more limited shelf life and will deteriorate over time. Gasoline tends
to go bad if it is not used in a timely manner. A propane generator will start more easily in extremely cold
weather because the fuel will not gum up.
Cost: Fuel prices fluctuate for both propane and gasoline. A propane generator needs a more expensive
pressurized tank.
Safety: Gasoline spills contaminate and leave stains and odors; propane will dissipate into the air. Propane is
naturally odorless, but a distinct but harmless odor is added to warn of leaks.
Availability: Neighborhood gas stations will likely be without electricity, and unable to pump fuel, during
power outages. Reliable propane tanks are as close as the backyard grill.
Install included wheel kit for easy transport.

FAQs
How many watts does it take to run essential items in an average size house?
In an average size house, essential items will average 5000-7500 total watts of power to run.
What is the difference between Running (Rated) Watts and Surge (Starting) Watts?
Running (Rated) watts are the continuous watts needed to keep items running. Surge (Starting) Watts are extra
watts needed temporarily to start motor-driven products such as refrigerators or circular saws. This is the
maximum wattage the generator can produce.
