 Standby Generator Guide
Whole House vs. Essential Circuits
Power Everything or Just Mission Critical Circuits
One of the biggest misconceptions about home standby generators is that they restore power to the entire house.
In reality, most air-cooled machines generate enough electricity to help you weather the storm. They might restore power to an entire townhouse, but not most single family homes.
The first step in picking a home standby generator is to determine if you want to power your entire home or just essential mission critical circuits.
Whole house generators are the ideal solution because they power … surprise … the whole house. Unfortunately, they aren’t cheap. For example, the smallest whole house generator -- a 20 kilowatt air-cooled generator -- starts around $4,499.
If you have the financial resources to power your whole house, go for it. Simply follow these steps to get your entire home supplied with backup power.
If not, don’t sweat. With some creativity, we can help you maximize your investment by energizing as much of the house as possible.
