A home backup generator is a machine that generates electricity from a fuel like Natural Gas in case of a power outage. A backup source of energy is paramount as energy is a fundamental resource on which we depend to perform the most basic functions and tasks of our daily life. Therefore, Ohio Home Generators and Energy Management Systems have backup generators ranging from 7.5 kW to 24 kW, depending on your home needs. These generators will ensure your life and work don’t stop.

Which Size Is Perfect for House?

Generators are not sized according to their electrical output. Both watts (W) and kilowatts (kW), which are measurements of electricity (1kW = 1,000W), are used to describe them.

Choosing the proper generator size is crucial. If you don’t know what generator size is sufficient for you, you can contact us, and we are more than obliged to estimate according to your needs.

Estimation is necessary because if the generator is too small, you risk overloading it. If this occurs, the generators will either shut down automatically or overload and can damage essential electrical generator parts. Similarly, if the generator is much more than your required capacity, you’ll pay too much for the power you won’t need.

Determine The Size of The Generator You Need In 3 Easy Steps

Follow these three steps to determine the size of the generator you need to power your entire home in case of a power outage:

  1. List each appliance you want to power during a power outage.
  2. Determine each item’s starting and operating wattage per hour.
  3. Compute the total wattage and compare it with different generator capacities. Next, use this figure to determine the generator size you require.
  4. A home’s minimum backup wattage should be at least 7.5 kW for sufficient power. The maximum wattage should not exceed 24 kW only if you hold parties and bring over guests.
