The size and capacity of a generator are crucial factors in ensuring your home receives uninterrupted power. Generators are rated by kilowatts (kW), which measure the total amount of electricity they can supply.
To determine the appropriate size for your home, consider what you want to power during an outage. A typical whole home generator might range from 10kW (enough for a smaller home or to power essentials) up to 24kW or more (capable of covering large homes or all appliances). HVAC systems, water heaters, and large kitchen appliances require more wattage, so it’s wise to consult with a professional who can calculate your specific needs.
Whole home generators must be installed by licensed professionals. Installation involves connecting the generator to both your home’s electrical panel and fuel supply, as well as ensuring proper permits and code compliance. A qualified electrician can also ensure your generator is positioned safely, away from windows and doors, and that it meets local noise and zoning regulations.
