Chicago, IL (ContentDesk) May 4, 2006 -- In the past, enduring a power outage was as simple as lighting a candle and starting the fireplace. Not anymore. Without electricity, basements can flood. Security systems can falter. Home businesses can fail.
"You don't realize how much you rely on electricity until it's gone," says Jon Hoch, founder of ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com(http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com) - an online generator superstore. Many homeowners are unable or unwilling to wait out the next power outage, so they are converting their portable generators into emergency backup power systems. "The key to picking the perfect generator," says Hoch, "is to pick the right style first, then pick the right wattage." Shop by Style (http://electricgeneratorsdirect.com/catalog/shopbystyle.php)Recreational generators are great for tailgating or camping. A power outage, however, is no picnic. Small recreational models will only power an appliance or two.
Plus, you'll need to refill their small gas tanks every few hours. Unless your a contactor using your generator on a daily basis, you don't need to go overboard with a jobsite model with a professional grade engine either. "What's the point in purchasing a top-of-the-line portable generator with all the bells and whistles that's only used a few times a year?" asks Hoch. ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com actually grades the style of every generator to help customers quickly find their perfect portable generator. Hoch recommends purchasing a residential-grade model specifically designed for "Emergency Power" and reinvesting the savings into a generator with additional wattage.
Shop by Watts (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/catalog/shopbywatts.php)Yes, you can calculate your exact wattage needs through various online wattage calculators, like the Home Wattage Wizard at PowerProtection.org. According to Hoch, the service is nice, but not always necessary. ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com has categorized their "Emergency Power" generators into three sizes: Mid-Sized,
Large and X-Large. Mid-sized portable generators (3,000-6,000 watts) will power your basic survival appliances, including your refrigerator, sump pump, furnace fan and several other appliances. Large portable generators (7,000-9,000 watts) will help make the power outage experience more peaceful, supplying power to even more appliance.
X-Large portable generators (10,000+ watts) supply enough electricity to restore power to small homes. Most include an electric starter, which is ideal for elderly homeowners who are unable to pull the cord. Electric Generators Direct is an online emergency generator superstore owned and operated by Power Equipment Direct, Inc. The company also maintains PressureWashersDirect.com(http://www.pressurewashersdirect.com) and AirCompressorsDirect.com (http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com)..

Diesel Generators
Fuels such as gasoline, diesel, propane or natural gas basically power home generators. Some models also have multi fuel capabilities and run on gasoline, propane or natural gas. The choice of the fuel will depend on the availability of the fuel in times of emergency, fuel consumed per kilowatt of power produced, maintenance of the generator and the comparative risk of storing the fuels.
Diesel generators consume comparatively less fuel per kilowatt of electricity produced and more fuel-efficient than generators powered by natural gas or gasoline. For every gallon of fuel consumed, diesel generators run 2 or 3 times longer than gasoline engines. Diesel generators do not require frequent maintenance, as is the case with gasoline generators and are designed to run continuously for long hours.
Most generators come with a water-cooled engine with a speed of 1800rpm. This ensures the engines durability, and at the same time, makes it the most dependable of all the other...

The Race is On: Florida Residents Scramble to Secure Backup Generators
Chicago, IL
June 1, 2005 -- While June 1 marks the official start of hurricane season, the race to secure an emergency generator is already underway and rounding the first turn. According to Jon Hoch, founder of Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com), an online emergency generator superstore, Florida residents aren't waiting for a tropical depression to develop before purchasing a backup generator.

Real Estate Investing - Ten Myths
Is real estate investing only for the wealthy? Can you buy with no money down? Do you have to know the "right" people? Let's answer by looking at some of the myths of real estate. 1. Real estate investing is for the wealthy. Money helps, but my first real estate investment was a $3,500 lot - which I sold for a profit two weeks after I bought it. Small deals, partners, low-down deals, or just putting aside $7 per day for a couple years until you have enough money for a downpayment - these are some...
