Whole House Generators

How to Size Your Standby Generator System 

Selecting your whole house generator is easy as long as you stay away from online wattage calculators.

1. Every Home and Every Appliance is Unique.
The calculators estimate the wattage for each appliance. The reality is that your calculation can vary significantly depending on the energy efficiency of each appliance.

2. The Power is Constantly Fluctuating.
The wattage varies from day to night. It changes dramatically when the refrigerator starts or the central air conditioner kicks on. In reality, it’s a rare occurrence when every appliance runs simultaneously.

3. The Small Stuff is Somewhat Insignificant.
It really doesn’t make a big difference how many 60-watt light bulbs you select. You need to focus your concern on a select number of high-powered appliances, like central air conditioners, heat pumps and well pumps.

Basically, there are two ways that you can size your generator:

1. Buy What You Can Afford
If you don’t want to spend a fortune on a 45-kilowatt version (which you may not even need), get the 20- or 25-kilowatt version instead.

In most instances, the 25-kilowatt model will power an entire house without any problems. We can design a system to fit your budget and customize which circuits to back up and energize in your home. 

2. Hire a Licensed Electrician
If you are considering a 35- or 45-kilowatt model, you’ll need our professional help. Otherwise, you might end up buying a system that produces more electricity than you actually need.

The only completely accurate way is to have one of our electricians apply an amp meter to the circuits or appliances that are being chosen to operate under emergency backup power.
