Why You Want a Portable Generator

Nowadays, electricity plays a part in most aspects of most lives. From homes to RVs to worksites, losing your electricity can be a serious problem. Luckily, there’s a solution for that: portable generators! We here at Nova International want to make sure you’re never left in the dark, so we’ve put together a few of the reasons for owning a portable generator below.

Easy Transportation

There are some pretty massive generators out there, but a portable generator is nothing like those behemoths. Rolling them around or even carrying them, either by bag or hand, is relatively easy. They can fit in your car, truck, or trailer if you need to get them some place specific, and it’s a simple matter to tuck them away in a shed, garage, or basement when you don’t need them.

Simple Operation

A power generator can sound imposing, but the truth is that these machines are designed to be simple for just about anyone to operate to maximize just how useful they are. Your portable generator will come with instructions on how to fuel, handle, and operate it, which often boils down to just hitting the on/off switch. If you lose your instructions and have power, the manufacturer’s website should have an extra copy you can use.

Crisis Handling

Like we’ve mentioned, there’s never a good time to lose power, especially in emergency situations like extreme weather, downed trees, or problems with the power grid. Luckily, if you have a generator nearby and fueled up, it’s a simple matter to hook it in to an RV or to plug crucial items into. You can charge your cell phones, keep medical devices online, and even keep your fridge running so your food doesn’t spoil.

Versatility

Generators aren’t just handy for crisis situations, though they certainly are that. There are plenty of ways you can use your portable generator on a daily basis, such as:

• Powering a stereo system at the park for a picnic or event.
• Powering tools and heavy equipment in the backyard or worksite.
• Powering a mobile office in a rural area.
• Providing power on a camping trip, even if it’s just in the backyard.
