What size generator does your home need?
A standby generator should run the things that matter without costing a fortune. Sizing it right is the key. Here is how we think about it.
Start with the essentials
Think about what you truly need in an outage. For most homes in northern Michigan that means the furnace, the well pump, the refrigerator and some lights. A unit sized for those keeps life normal.
Whole-home or essentials
A small standby unit near 10 to 14 kilowatts covers the essentials for many homes. A larger 18 to 24 kilowatt unit can run central air, an electric range and more. The right size depends on your home and your well.
We size it for you
We look at your panel, your well pump and your home, then recommend a Generac unit that fits. We sell it, install it, wire it and service it, all with one crew.
