Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at sales@houstonequipmentrepair.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How is a portable generator package different from a standby generator package?

A portable generator package powers essential appliances like your refrigerator, air conditioner, or selected circuits and requires manual setup each time it’s used. A standby generator package, on the other hand, can power your entire home and automatically starts when an outage is detected, keeping your home running without any manual effort.

Who is best suited for a portable generator package?

A portable generator package is best for individuals who are comfortable lifting and moving heavy equipment and don’t mind the effort required to set up the generator each time it’s used. Since it requires manual placement, connection of gas and power cords, and safe hookup to your home, it’s ideal for homeowners who only need essential backup power and are prepared to handle the setup process themselves.

How often does my portable generator need maintenance?

Portable generators should be serviced every 75–100 run hours or at least once per year, whichever comes first. If your generator runs on gasoline, it’s important to drain the fuel after use to prevent the carburetor from clogging and ensure reliable performance.
