Why size matters?

Generators that are too large may cause:

Damage to electrical systems
Unnecessary operational expenses
Inefficient power production

Generators that are too small may cause:

Generator damage or overheating
Insufficient or unreliable power
Critical facilities and security system failures

Step one
Make a list of the appliances you would want to use while the power is off

Step 2
Determine the Watts used to use this list

Step 3
Take your estimate and determine the size generator you need

Keep in mind that a DIY wattage estimate is just that: an estimate. To be on the safe side, we recommend using a wattage calculator or, even better, having one of our professional electrician calculate the exact wattage you need to help you find the right size generator.
