How do I choose a good backup generator?

How Home Generators Work

A home standby generator is plugged into a wall socket so it can continually monitor the power supply. When the power fails, it senses it through the plug and automatically kicks in. With more advanced generators, you can configure them to specify which appliances will remain available if the generator takes over during an outage.
