The advancement of technology in the past decade opened the door for everyone to make electricity a necessity. But everybody knows not most of the times electricity is present; there are always time when a locality experiences power surges or blackouts. When this time happens and you really need electricity, the best option you have is to secure or choose from portable gas generators which give out enough current to power up your appliances or electricity-operated gadget. But how much power do you need from a gas generator?

If you have a refrigerator and a TV at home and are planning to buy a generator, you should not go below 4000 watts; this is enough to power up your refrigerator, a TV, and few lights at night. However, if you have more appliances than these, then you should choose generator sets with higher wattages.
