Having an efficient home power backup solution ensures you’ll stay prepared for when disaster strikes while enjoying the safety and comforts of a powered home all year round.
Unlike old-fashioned standby generators that are large, expensive, yet only serve one purpose, Gerner Energy provided DuroMax generators will power you whether you’re at home, on an RV trip, or at the job-site.
DuroMax Portable generators can be powered by 2-3 types of fuel. If you have an existing propane tank, the generator can be integrated into your existing propane tank and line system. We also sell and install above & below ground propane tanks if needed.

DuroMax generators are designed to provide home power backup. They offer some of the largest power producing models on the market, with the ability to power your entire home with a single cord. These models range from 10,000 to 15,000 watts and feature both 240-volt capability and a 50-amp connection. This means that you can power not only your fridge, microwave, and lights, but also large appliances such as central air conditioners, gas water heaters, and gas furnaces.
Depending on the time of year, you may need to run different appliances. For example, in the winter, you may need to run your electric furnace. In the summer, you may need to run your central air conditioner. The DuroMax can handle these loads as well, with the right load management.

The wattage of the generator will determine how many appliances you can power at the same time.
Generators can run on propane, natural gas or gasoline. Gasoline is the most common fuel type, but propane and natural gas are more efficient.
Generators can be noisy, so it’s important to choose one that is quiet enough for your needs.
Do you have an existing propane tank that you can tie into or will you need a new propane tank(s) installed?
Hoses, connectors, storage, and other items can increase your costs, however they can make operating your generator much easier. A longer hose and connection can reduce the distance you’ll need to move your generator in order to operate it.
