Why You Need a Backup Generator

Power outages can happen at any time, especially during severe weather events like hurricanes, blizzards, and thunderstorms. Losing power can disrupt your home, business, or outdoor plans, but a backup generator ensures you stay powered when it matters most.

For Homeowners

Storms, natural disasters, and grid failures can leave you without electricity for hours—or even days. A generator provides essential backup power to keep:

• Refrigerators and freezers running to prevent food spoilage
• Heating and cooling systems operational to maintain comfort in extreme temperatures
• Medical devices powered for those who rely on life-sustaining equipment
• Lights and electronics on to stay connected and safe during an outage

Severe weather can strike without warning, and a generator helps you stay prepared and protected in any situation.

For Businesses & Job Sites

Power loss can mean costly downtime, lost revenue, and security risks for businesses. A generator keeps offices, retail stores, and job sites operational, ensuring:

• Essential systems stay powered, including security, POS systems, and refrigeration
• Construction tools and heavy machinery keep running to avoid project delays
• Data and communication networks remain active to prevent disruptions

Whether it's a major storm or a local power failure, a Champion generator helps businesses stay reliable and productive.

A portable generator is perfect for RVing, tailgating, and camping, giving you reliable power wherever you go. With a generator, you can:

• Run RV appliances and air conditioning for a comfortable trip
• Charge devices and power lights for off-grid camping

How to Choose the Right Generator for Your Needs

Calculate your power requirements

When buying a generator you should first consider the amount of power you need. There is nothing worse than buying a new generator only to find out after it's too late that it doesn't have enough power to run all of your equipment.

To determine the right generator size for your needs, you'll need to calculate both Running Watts and Starting Watts. This process is simple:

Step 1: Calculate Running Watts

Add up the Running Watts of all the devices you plan to power:

Step 2: Calculate Starting Watts

Some appliances require extra power to start up. To determine your Starting Watts, identify the device with the highest startup demand, then add the total running watts you need.

Step 3: Choose the Right Generator

Based on this example, you would need a generator with at least 4600 Starting Watts to power all these items effectively.

This method ensures you select a generator that meets your power needs without overload.

FAQs About Portable Generators

Q: What is a portable generator, and how does it work?

A: A portable generator is a compact, mobile power source that runs on fuel like gasoline or propane to generate electricity. It converts mechanical energy into electrical power, supplying temporary energy for tools, appliances, or essential equipment during outages or in areas without direct access to the grid.

Q: Are portable generators safe to use indoors?

A: No. Portable generators must always be used outdoors, at least 20 feet away from doors, windows, and vents. Running a generator indoors or in a garage can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Q: Do I need a transfer switch for my generator?

A: If you're using a generator to power home or business circuits, a transfer switch is recommended. It:

• Prevents backfeeding into the power grid (which is dangerous).
• Allows safe and seamless switching between generator and utility power.
• Makes it easier to distribute power to appliances via your breaker panel.

Important note about transfer switches: Have the transfer switch installed by a qualified, professional electrician.

Q: What kind of fuel do portable generators use?

A: Most portable generators use:

• Gasoline: Common and widely available but has a shorter shelf life.
• Propane: Burns cleaner and stores longer but may provide slightly less power.
• Dual-fuel models: Offer flexibility by running on either gasoline or propane.
• Tri-fuel models: Offers even more flexibility by running on either gas, propane, or natural gas.
