Sizing your generator to fit your home or business requires you to determine your backup power needs. That means deciding what items are crucial to you in a power outage. Another thing to consider is the startup wattage of your appliances. Appliances such as pumps need more power at start-up but less to continue functioning. Ultimately, you need to calculate how much energy is required to power all the devices you'll be using in an outage. The best way to correctly size a generator for your home is to seek professional help. Our experts can provide a detailed evaluation to find the best solution for your needs.
