A Guide to

At BetterGenerators.com we sell a variety of generators include economical and deluxe portable generators, silent camping generators, digital inverter generators, tri-fuel powered, diesel and natural gas powered generators. We also carry high pressure washers and air compressors. Over 80 models to choose from!

Most portable generators now use fuel-efficient four-cycle OHV (overhead valve) engines that are easier to start, quieter and are better for the environment than two-cycle engines. The four-cycle OHV engines last longer, too. Most new portable generators also provide circuit breakers, use electronic governors to regulate voltage and provide some weather protection for outlets and controls.

Our Power Chart will give you a general idea of how much power various appliances and tools require. Read what to look for in a generator in this informative article on generators. View all features for all products in our Comparison Chart
 



 

Portable Generators

Design for a wide variety of uses, portable generators can supply needed electrical power when nature strikes. They are also excellent for camping trips, beach parties, picnics or tailgate parties. During the initial phase of new construction, a portable generator can power your tools until electricity is installed at the site. Starting at $149.00. More

RV Generators

Specifically designed for recreational vehicles and commercial trucks. RV electric generators are designed to be used in motor homes, travel trailers, pop-up campers, conversion vans, truck campers and fifth-wheels. RV generators are powered by gasoline, diesel or propane, depending on the unit and tow vehicle. Available with cases. Starting at $2,378. More

 


 

Air Cooled Standby Generators

These generators provide worry-free emergency power to supply your total electrical needs for days, or weeks. And unlike portable generators that require refueling every few hours,  backup power systems are fueled by a permanent LP or natural gas connection.  When combined with a transfer switch, they can be sized and wired for your home. Starting at $2,508. More

Liquid Cooled 1-Phase Standby Generators

Liquid-cooled generators use modified automotive engines that can easily be serviced using readily available, cost-effective parts. These are permanent fixtures and are very quiet when operational. An Automatic transfer switch will keep your home powered when you're home or away. A built in battery charger ensures your generator will always start. Starting at $8,515. More

 


 

Liquid Cooled 3-Phase Standby Generators

These generators carry 3 alternating currents which reach their instantaneous peak values at different times. Each phase is delayed in time by one-third and two-thirds of one cycle of the electrical current. This delay between "phases" has the effect of giving constant power transfer over each cycle of the current. Starting at $6,989. More

 

Transfer Switches (What is a transfer switch?)

These switches are the key link between your generator and your home or business. They come in both manual and automatic styles. Manual switches have to be turned on when needed. Automatic switches monitor your incoming power and turn on the generator automatically when normal power fails. Starting at $399. More
