Power Up With Generators From Lowe’s

Looking for a new generator to give you portable power on the jobsite or during outdoor adventures? Whether you need a portable camping generator, an RV generator, a heavy-duty 1,000-watt generator or a 2,000-watt generator on standby, Lowe’s carries a large assortment of generators from top brands to complement your lifestyle. Choose from options such as Champion generators, Honda generators, KOHLER generators and more.


Types of Generators

There are three major types of generators. The first is an inverter generator, which is a lightweight, portable generator option that’s ideal for tailgating and putting in RVs. If you want a small, quiet generator, this is the best option. Another generator type is a backup generator. These generators require manual standup, but their wattage is enough to power select appliances. Home standby generators are the most powerful generator type. These high-powered generators automatically detect outages and can provide power to an entire home with minimal interruption during a storm or power outage. To further prepare for emergencies, be sure to read up on preventing carbon monoxide poisoning. Also consider investing in a battery-powered carbon monoxide sensor, or CO sensor.


Generators by Wattage

Before choosing a generator, the most important thing to consider is wattage. Small appliances, like coffee machines and light bulbs, don’t require as many watts as large appliances, such as space heaters and sump pumps. For tailgating, you might only need a generator with as little as 500 to 1,000 watts. To power a whole home, you might need 10,000 watts or more.


Generators by Fuel Type

Depending on your preferences and needs, generators come in a few fuel type options, from propane/natural gas and tri fuel generators to electrical generators and solar-powered generators. Dual fuel generators do the same job as models that use a single type of fuel, but they can run on propane or gasoline. If you want to generate free electricity and avoid toxic fumes, invest in a solar-powered generator that can be used indoors.


At Lowe’s, you’ll find the generator you need from brands you can trust, like Generac portable generators, Briggs & Stratton generators, Westinghouse generators, WEN generators, YAMAHA POWER PRODUCTS generators and more.
