Footer Description
Power outages don’t affect every home the same way. The right generator system depends on what needs to stay online, how your home uses power, and how your electrical load behaves during an outage.
For single-family homes, backup power systems are typically designed around either essential coverage or full-home performance.
Essential systems support refrigeration, lighting, internet, and key outlets
Expanded systems add HVAC, kitchen appliances, and more circuits• Full-home systems maintain normal operation without interruption
The difference comes down to proper system design—not just generator size.
FAQs
What size generator do I actually need for my home?
Most homes fall into a few real-world ranges:
• 10–14kW supports essentials like refrigerator, lights, WiFi, and sump pump
• 18–22kW adds HVAC and more circuits, but not everything at once
• 24–26kW allows most homes to run normally with light load management
• 30kW+ supports full-home coverage with multiple systems running
Example:
• A 2,500 sq ft home with one AC unit typically uses 20–24kW
• A home with multiple AC units and electric appliances may require 24–30kW+
The key is your actual load during an outage—not square footage alone.
Will my AC and major appliances run during an outage?
Yes—but it depends on how the system is designed.
A 20–24kW system can run AC, lights, and refrigeration, while managing larger appliances like ovens or dryers
A 26–30kW system allows most appliances to run at the same time with minimal interruption
Load management systems automatically balance power so nothing overloads
The goal is to keep your home running without needing to oversize the system.

How long will my generator run during an outage?
Runtime depends on fuel type and how much power you’re using.
Natural Gas
Continuous fuel supply
Can run as long as gas service is active
Propane
A 20–24kW generator typically uses 2–3 gallons per hour
A 500-gallon tank can provide several days of runtime depending on usage
Higher demand increases fuel use, which is why system design matters.

Right-Sized Power Starts Here
From essential backup to full-scale operations—get a clear, grounded recommendation based on how your property actually runs.
Start With How
It Actually Runs
Not square footage. Not a guess.
We start at the end — how your property operates when it matters.What needs to stay on, what can’t go down, and what failure costs you.
1
Build the
Real Load Profile
This is where most systems go wrong.
We map real demand — startup loads, critical systems, usage patterns — so you’re not undersized when it counts or overbuilt.
2
Match the Right
System (Not Just a Size)
There isn’t “one generator.”
Fuel type, environment, runtime expectations, redundancy —we align the system to how it will be used, not just what it powers.
3
Install It So It Performs When It’s Needed
A system is only as good as how it’s deployed and maintained.
We handle installation, testing, and long-term support —so when the moment comes, it works as expected.
