Hi, I’m Michael Turner, the founder and editor of HomeGeneratorBlog.
I own and operate a generator workshop in the United States, where I work with portable generators, standby generators, whole-house backup systems, and other power equipment every day. My work includes generator installation, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, diagnostics, and performance testing.
Over the years, I’ve seen how confusing it can be for homeowners to choose the right generator, maintain it properly, or solve common problems. That’s one of the main reasons I created HomeGeneratorBlog—to share practical, experience-based information that helps people make confident decisions about backup power.
Everything I publish is built on a combination of hands-on workshop experience, technical research, manufacturer documentation, and current industry best practices. I believe reliable advice should be easy to understand, whether you’re buying your first generator or maintaining a whole-house backup system.
Through this website, I cover topics such as:
- Portable Generators
- Whole House Generators
- Standby Generator Systems
- Generator Installation
- Generator Maintenance
- Generator Troubleshooting
- Generator Safety
- Generator Buying Guides
- Generator Parts & Accessories
- Backup Power Planning
Whenever possible, I test equipment, inspect components, and verify maintenance procedures in my workshop before sharing recommendations. My goal isn’t just to explain how generators work—it’s to help you understand what actually works in real-world situations.
Whether you’re preparing for a power outage, comparing generator models, or looking for maintenance advice, I hope HomeGeneratorBlog becomes a trusted resource you can rely on.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to helping you keep your home powered, prepared, and protected.
