The Generator Guide

Straight answers on whole-home power

The questions people actually ask us — written down, no sales talk.

Sizing

What size generator does your home actually need?

Why "the biggest one" is the wrong answer, and what a load calculation tells us.

Storm season

Getting your generator ready for hurricane season

A 20-minute checklist that beats finding out during the outage.

Fuel

Natural gas or propane: what should yours run on?

The honest trade-offs — and why your address usually decides for you.

Maintenance

How often should a standby generator be serviced?

What annual service actually covers, and what happens when it's skipped.

Outages

How long can a standby generator actually run?

Days, not hours — if the fuel and the maintenance are right.
