In addition to the size of the generator, you also need to consider which type of generator is the best. The cost of a generator set largely depends on the type of generator you choose. Conventional open type generators have always been the cheapest. They do not use inverters and have no sound insulation effect. This can meet your electricity needs, but if you are using electronic devices, the noise may come from residential areas or camping sites, which is not ideal.


Frequency converters have higher power generation costs, but they provide clean electricity and will not damage sensitive electronic devices. Besides these, they are usually quieter. Most inverter generators are housed in a soundproof enclosure. Some (especially small models) are almost inaudible and may be quieter than normal people when speaking.


Portable generator fuel type


Most portable generators use gas as fuel to drive their engines. Some generators use diesel, although diesel is rarely used, but usually have a higher output power. Due to its clean combustion characteristics, propane (LPG) is a popular fuel type. In addition to being the preferred choice for environmentalists, using a propane generator also has other advantages. In this article, you can learn more about propane generators: propane generators. In terms of the cost of these generators, the cost of gas and propane generators is roughly equal, while generators equipped with diesel engines will be more expensive.


Some generators can use natural gas or propane, i.e. dual fuel or hybrid generators. You can even get a generator that uses three fuels: natural gas, propane, or natural gas. The cost of this type of generator is slightly higher than that of a generator specifically designed for one fuel. Although the price difference is not significant, the advantages of using dual fuel or triple fuel generators are self-evident. During natural disasters, you have more choices, and this can be very useful when fuel is more easily available.
