Natural Gas vs. Propane for Generators
Natural Gas vs Propane Generators
Natural Gas Generators: Offering a cost-effective solution, it is approximately 40% cheaper than propane. However, its availability might be limited in some areas due to infrastructure constraints. Most generators seamlessly switch between propane and natural gas, providing flexibility based on availability and cost.
Propane Generators: Offers a longer shelf life, making it an excellent choice for generator fuel storage. While more complex to maintain, propane-powered generators are environmentally advantageous, emitting about half the carbon monoxide of standard gasoline generators. Proper storage in certified tanks is essential, with recertification every 10 years for cylinders and 25 years for bulk storage units.
Tip: A reliable backup generator is a key part of winter preparation. Read our guide on how to prepare for emergency furnace repairs during severe weather.

IMPORTANCE OF BACKUP GENERATORS IN CALGARY
How Do Home Backup Generators Work?

- Power disruption: External factors like storms or equipment failures lead to a loss of electricity in your home.

- Power restoration: The electricity in your home will continue to function like normal until the power is restored.
Generator Installation FAQs
How long can a standby generator run?
Natural gas generators can run continuously as long as the gas supply is available. Propane generators can operate for many hours or days depending on the size of the propane tank.
Do generators turn on automatically?
Yes. Standby generators use an automatic transfer switch that detects a power outage and starts the generator within seconds.
How Do You Choose the Right Generator Size?
Selecting the right generator size depends on the electrical load of your home and the appliances you want to power.
Common residential standby generators range from:
- 10–14 kW – essential circuits and appliances
- 16–22 kW – larger homes and HVAC systems
- 24 kW and above – whole-house backup power
A professional load calculation ensures the generator provides enough power without unnecessary energy costs.
What Does Professional Generator Maintenance Include?
Regular maintenance keeps a standby generator ready for unexpected power outages.
Typical generator maintenance includes:
- engine inspection
- oil and filter replacement
- battery testing
- system diagnostics
- automatic start testing
Routine service helps ensure the generator starts reliably when it is needed most.
When Is the Right Time to Consider a Backup Generator?
A standby generator may be a good investment if:
- your area experiences frequent power outages
- you rely on electrically powered heating or medical equipment
- you want to protect appliances and electronics
- you work from home and require consistent power
Backup generators provide peace of mind by keeping essential systems running during emergencies.
Are standby generators noisy?
Modern standby generators are designed to operate quietly and typically produce about the same noise level as a central air conditioner.
