Propane-Powered Generators: Going Beyond the Whole House
Families with whole-house generators know the benefits of having their unit connected to a residential propane tank. There’s great peace of mind in knowing your backup electrical supply is always full of a clean-burning fuel that lasts for years without going bad or gumming up mechanical components.
That’s been one a drawbacks with gasoline – as a liquid, it deteriorates over time, making it a less-than-ideal fuel for backup generators that typically go long periods without being used.
Propane powered whole-house generators have become increasingly popular over the years, with pricing that’s within reach of more and more homeowners.
Phillips Energy partners with a group of reputable generator suppliers for whole-house generator installations, and our technicians conduct on-site visits to test the propane connections when they are put into service.
Speaking of service, it’s always a good idea to have whole house units serviced on a regular basis, and Phillips can provide a list of trusted service providers as well.
