When discussing the specific needs of our customers, the first question we try to answer is:
How much of your home/business do you want to have online with electrical power during a utility power outage?

This can vary from a "bare bones" system to operate essential lights and heat for your home or office, or a system can be designed to provide total backup for all of your power needs. With this information a generator can be sized to fit your standby power needs.


Listed here are approximate running wattages for some household appliances. Enter number of appliances you wish to keep running during a power outage. This calculator will assist you in determining what size generator you may need.
