How do I determine the appropriate size for my whole-home generator?
You need a comprehensive load calculation performed that includes all lights, appliances, security systems, etc., you want to operate during an outage. Once you identify these, you need to add the total wattage of these electrical systems to identify the optimal generator size.

What are the signs that I need to schedule whole-home generator repairs?
It’s important to pay attention to the operation of your generator. In most cases, it will show clear signs that problems are developing. These include difficulty starting, premature shutdown, excessive noise or vibration, inconsistent power delivery, and excessive exhaust.
How long does a whole-home generator last?
It depends on the system, the attention to maintenance and repairs, and whether the unit suffers damage over the years. Some whole-home generators can provide 10,000 running hours, while others can deliver up to 30,000.
That said, we recommend considering quality over cost; while a higher-quality system will cost more upfront, it will save you more in the long run.
