Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what size generator I need?
Generator size depends on your electrical load, not square footage alone. A licensed electrician performs a load calculation to determine which circuits or systems must run during an outage. Homes, businesses, farms, and public facilities all have different power demands, which is why proper sizing is critical to avoid overload or underperformance.
What’s the difference between a standby generator and a portable generator?
A standby generator is permanently installed, connected to your electrical system, and starts automatically when power fails. A portable generator is manually operated and powers limited equipment through extension cords or transfer switches. Standby systems offer convenience, safety, and whole-facility coverage, while portable units are best for temporary or mobile use.
Do standby generators turn on automatically?
Yes. Standby generators use an automatic transfer switch that detects a power outage and restores power within seconds. When utility power returns, the system shuts down automatically. No manual setup or intervention is required.
How long can a generator run during an outage?
Standby generators can run continuously for days or even weeks, depending on fuel supply and maintenance. Natural gas systems can operate as long as gas service is available, while propane or diesel systems run based on tank capacity.
Can a generator power my entire house or business?
Yes, if properly sized. Whole-house and commercial generators are designed to power all critical systems and, in many cases, the entire facility. Load prioritization may be used for larger buildings to manage power efficiently.
Is it safe to run a generator during storms or winter weather?
Standby generators are built for harsh weather and are designed to operate safely in rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. Portable generators should never be used indoors or near buildings due to carbon monoxide risk.
Do I need permits to install a generator?
In most cases, yes. Generator installations typically require electrical permits and sometimes zoning or utility approvals. A professional generator installer handles permitting, inspections, and coordination to ensure code compliance.
What fuel options are available for generators?
Common fuels include natural gas, propane, and diesel. Natural gas offers continuous supply, propane is flexible for rural areas, and diesel is often used for agricultural, industrial, or municipal applications. Fuel choice depends on availability, usage, and application.
How much does a standby generator cost installed?
Costs vary based on generator size, fuel type, electrical complexity, and site conditions. Residential systems typically range from several thousand dollars upward, while commercial and agricultural systems depend on power demand and infrastructure requirements.
