A Generator Isn't the Only Part of Your Backup-Power Plan
When homeowners shop for backup power, most of the attention naturally goes to the generator.
What can be overlooked is the fuel source that supports it.
For a standby generator operating on propane, the generator and propane supply should be considered together when planning the backup-power system.
The generator produces the electricity. The propane supply helps make operation possible when it is needed.

Start With Your Backup-Power Needs
Every home's needs are different.
Your generator selection may be influenced by the equipment and systems you want available during an outage.
Once the generator is identified, its fuel requirements become another important part of planning. That's where the propane tank enters the conversation.
The Advantage of Looking at the Complete System
Treating these as completely separate decisions can make planning more complicated than necessary.
Planning sequence
Home's backup-power needs > Generator > Fuel requirements > Propane tank
This creates a more logical path for designing the project.
For customers working with Allan Dearth & Sons, the company can now discuss both the standby generator and propane tank installation.
What Should I Tell My Generator Installer?
When discussing propane-powered backup power, be prepared to talk about:
· The generator you're considering or already own
· Your backup-power goals
· How you anticipate using the generator
· Other propane-powered equipment, if applicable
· Your property and proposed installation
· Questions you have about propane tank requirements
Don't worry if you don't have every detail. The purpose of the initial conversation is to help determine what your project needs.
What If I Already Own My Generator?
You can still discuss propane tank installation with Allan Dearth & Sons.
If you already have a generator and need to address its propane supply, provide the team with information about the existing equipment when you contact them.
