The benefits of having a propane generator over a gas generator is that they provide cleaner energy that is not as toxic to the environment, does not have an odor and is also more secure than a gas generator. Also, the propane is stored in tanks that, when empty, can be brought back to dealers and refilled very easily. There is also little to no chance of propane spillage. Finally, propane generators tend to be more cost-effective.

On the Other: Gas Generator Benefits

Natural gas is the most efficient type of generator compared to other gases that can be used. It is also cost-effective and easily obtained because natural gas pipelines are already in place in most parts of the United States and other developed countries. Natural gas is also a better choice over gasoline or oil because there is less chance of spillage and the transport is easier. Regular gasoline and oil are a more expensive source of power generation.

Bottom Line

A propane generator is a better choice than a gasoline generator because of its efficient, easy transport and cost. If gas must be chosen for the generator, than natural gas is a better choice than gasoline or oil.
