Choosing the Right Size Generator for Your Home
Selecting the right generator size is one of the most important decisions in the entire installation process, since an undersized unit won't be able to power everything your household needs during an outage, while an oversized unit costs more than necessary both upfront and to maintain long-term. Our technicians perform a detailed load calculation that takes into account your home's overall square footage, the appliances and systems you want to keep running, and whether you're looking to power just the essentials or your entire home altogether. Factors like whether you want to keep your entire HVAC system, well pump, sump pump, or important medical equipment running during an outage all play a role in determining the right size for your specific household.
Natural Gas vs. Propane: Which Fuel Type Is Right for You?
Whole house generators typically run on either natural gas or propane, and the right choice often depends on what's already available at your property. If your home is already connected to a natural gas line, a natural gas generator offers the added convenience of an essentially unlimited fuel supply, since it draws directly from the same utility line that already powers your stove or water heater. Propane generators, on the other hand, rely on an on-site storage tank, which means you'll need to periodically monitor fuel levels and arrange for refills, but this option works well for homes without any access to a natural gas line. Our technicians can carefully evaluate your property and help you determine which fuel type makes the most overall sense for your specific situation.
What to Expect During Generator Installation
A whole house generator installation genuinely involves more than simply setting a unit outside your home. Our technicians will first carefully assess the ideal placement for your generator, taking into account local setback requirements, proximity to windows and doors, and your specific fuel source connection. Once the ideal location is determined, we handle the electrical work needed to connect the generator to your home's electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch, which allows the generator to detect an outage and kick on automatically within seconds, without you needing to do anything at all. Depending on the overall complexity of your specific setup, most installations can typically be completed within a day or two. Before we ever consider the job finished, we thoroughly test the entire system to confirm it starts, transfers power, and shuts down correctly once utility power is restored.
How Long Can a Whole House Generator Power Your Home?
One of the biggest advantages of a properly sized whole house generator is that it can run for as long as fuel is available, which means it can keep your home powered through extended outages that last for days rather than just a few hours. This is a significant advantage over smaller portable generators, which typically need to be refueled every several hours and can only power a limited number of devices at any given time. A whole house generator, once properly installed, activates automatically and can keep your essential systems, and depending on the size you choose, your entire home, running continuously without you ever needing to manually manage fuel or extension cords during a stressful outage.
