Bad Winter Expected 2011-2012

The Farmer's Almanac has released their predictions regarding Winter for the United States 2011-2012 and their predictions are slated to make it a wet, cold and very snowy once again. You may remember last year the Farmer's Almanac predicted the western US would enjoy a fairly mild winter with extremely harsh conditions in the eastern half of the United States with the Great Lakes Region seeing a ton of snow - and it happened.
This coming winter has also been predicted to be unusually cold and stormy and this year for many parts of the United States. Here's an excerpt from their prediction: "The upcoming winter looks to be cold to very cold for the Northern Plains, parts of the Northern Rockies, and the western Great Lakes. In contrast, above-normal temperatures are expected across most of the southern and eastern U.S. Near-normal temperatures are expected in the Midwest and Far West, and in southern Florida".

This means when you get snow this year, it will most likely be of the "bring-the-tree-limbs-down-on-the-powerlines" variety and the time to have a backup plan for power is now. A portable generator will let you run portable heat, power small appliances and keep your family safe and warm.

The Benefits of Natural Gas Generators

It is very irritating while you are watching the last episode of your favorite movie series and then the power suddenly turns off. It is also troubling when a bad weather is about to come and a possibility of blackout which can happen for how many hours can spoil the food that you stored in your refrigerator. A power interruption no matter what the reasons that caused it is really such a hassle for us especially that most of the things that we have and use are powered by electricity. In times like this, all we think of is an immediate backup during moments of blackout which is a generator. A generator can be fueled by different sources. Portable gas generators from the name itself are generators that you can bring anywhere which are fueled by different kinds of gas. It is one of the choices that you can have when it comes to generators that you want to use for certain appliances at home, in schools, while at work, while travelling or while having events in places where there is no source of electricity nearby. This kind of equipment is of course advantageous especially when it comes to convenience because it can be brought anywhere you like as long as you have enough fuel source available. If you want a Natural Gas Generators that is fuel efficient then you better choose natural gas generators. They are more fuel efficient compared to a gasoline fueled generator. Aside from that there are lesser chances for contaminating the ground where it is situated and of course the environment around. This is due to the reasons that once you use gas for your generator you need to fill it up to ensure that there is enough sources. While the generator is being used, the gasoline can spill and it is within our knowledge that it can be a contaminant which is dangerous to all life forms around it. Generally, when we talk of safety, a Natural Gas Generators fueled by natural gas is much preferred. Gasoline fueled generators can easily catch fire when not used with caution. Aside from that, natural gas generators emit lesser fumes in comparison to the one fueled by gasoline. It produces no smell also as it works. These are the advantages that this kind of generator can provide. It is safer and of course energy efficient. There are many kinds and models of generators that are fueled by natural gas. Usually, smaller sizes are portable ones which can have a smaller capacity but it is very convenient when you want to transfer it in different places. Usually those which are larger in size are the stationary generators which also have larger capacity. Natural Gas Generators are hooked in a gas line that must be installed by someone who really knows how to do it. Once it is fueled properly, you will be assured that you can have a good power source during scheduled power interruptions, unpredictable power outages or simply a need of electricity when outside the vicinity of the house or when away from any electrical source. Natural gas generators is one form of power source during power outages that can benefit the owner. For more information about gas generators, click http://gas-generators.org/blog/.

The safest way to connect a generator to your home involves a transfer switch with an interlock mechanism to prevent backfeeding into your main panel. Backfeeding could cause series injury or even death to an unsuspecting line worker, so don't do it! When it comes to wiring up a generator don't cut corners....do it the right way by hiring a professional to wire up a switch that's compatible with your generator. I use a Briggs and Stratton standby generator that uses a GFCI outlet which requires a transfer switch that isolates the neutral between the generator and the main supply panel.
