The most reliable source of power for extended or unpredictable power outages is a home standby generator. The generator, which in most cases is connected directly to a home’s natural gas line, has a constant supply of fuel and can operate through extended outages, keeping homes safe, lit and powered. For people concerned with a loss of natural gas supply during a storm, generators can be fueled by a dedicated LP tank as well. With this continuous fuel source, generators are much better able to face the unpredictability of dangerous, storm-prompted or lengthy outages rather than a home battery, which relies on an external power source to recharge it after only a few hours of use.
