Portable generator FAQs

What is the difference between maximum (surge) watts and rated watts?

The rated watts number on a portable generator means how much power the unit can continuously provide. Maximum watts is the power that the generator can create for a short time, such as when the motor is first started. Think "cranking amps" like in a car battery.

Can the generator be used in bad weather?

It's possible to use a portable generator in a variety of temperature environments, but keep it protected from the elements to prolong its life. When exposed to the weather, portable generators are like any piece of equipment in that they can get rusty and short out when not protected.

Can I run the generator inside if I vent it?

Never run the generator inside a closed space, even if you vent it. Portable generators were created to be run outside, where it fumes can be adequately exhausted.

What kind of generator do I need?

To figure out the kind of generator that will meet your needs you need to know what you plan to power with the generator and get a total of each item's start, run and peak usage limits.

To get the maximum run time, plan to run your generator at half of the rated wattage. This also ensures that when your largest appliance kicks on it doesn't trip the circuit breaker on the generator.

Roxanne M. - Stateline NV

These guys are awesome! I was turned away from every other small engine shop in Reno/Sparks due to the type of engines I had. I need my engines for work so when these guys found out my situation they not only drove from carson city to sparks, they went to Napa and picked up spark plugs form me. Best customer service ever! Customer for life! Thanks guys. Read more

Taylor L. - Sparks, NV

Greg & James are a great father/son team who provide the BEST in customer service! They just fixed our 25 year old snowblower that had never had a full service before. They picked it up & dropped it off (all part of the price) and it’s running as if it’s brand new. Thanks guys for being so customer-service focused! Read more

Thank You!

“My snow-blower broke down during our heavy Winter this year.  I was distraught and had to find someone to help me get my snow-blower working again.  I found gregsmallengine.com and talked to the owner, Greg.  He called me and let me know what was done to my machine to get it up and running again.  The cost was very reasonable and I am very happy to say it was delivered back to my house.

I am one happy customer and he is a super nice person!” Read more

Greg and son run a great business. They provided a a very good ball park estimate when I first called. They were very helpful and honest in helping determine whether the repair would be worth it. They did a great job in repairing the mower for a reasonable cost. I highly recommend them. Read more

David H, Gardnerville

I asked Greg’s Small Engine Power Equipment Service & Repair to look at and repair three different Small Engine Machines – a Snow Blower, Rototiller & a Pressure Washer. They were honest and straight forward about needed potential repairs. They said what they were going to do and followed through. The best two things in their Service was not to repair a machine that was not worth repairing and Picking Up and Delivering the Power Equipment. Their Service saved me Money & Time. I certainly would recommend them for your Small Engine Power Equipment Needs. Read more
