Home generators work similarly to car engines, in that they use fuel, such as gasoline, diesel, or natural gas, to create mechanical energy that is then converted into electrical power with the help of a rechargeable battery. They are especially useful during power outages, allowing you to stay safe and comfortable by keeping essential appliances operational, such as refrigerators, freezers, sump pumps, furnaces, stoves, lights, and fans. Home generators can come in handy in various situations, such as blackouts caused by power grid failure due to temperature extremes or damage to power lines or transformers due to inclement weather, animals, natural disasters, or auto accidents involving power poles.

To ensure that your home backup generator meets your needs, it is crucial to calculate the total wattage required by the devices you wish to power. This calculation should consider the wattage of all the electrical appliances, lights, and other devices you plan to run simultaneously. Once you have determined the total wattage required, you can choose a generator with an appropriate capacity to meet your needs. Choosing the right generator size is crucial because an undersized generator will not be able to power all your electrical essentials, while a large generator will cost more to purchase and maintain but may also be wasteful in terms of fuel consumption. Our team of service professionals can assist you in determining which electrical essentials you should consider before installing home generators, such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioning units, and other critical appliances.
