Backup Generator Sizing

Your home appliances consume "wattage" and you must size the generator to your home demand. Watch for certain appliances with electric motors that "surge" wattage demand during startup. Devices such as computers can be damaged by generators without surge-balancing ability. Check with a certified electrician or professional generator installer for any installation that ties into your home wiring or if you have concerns about specific applications. Generators can NOT be run indoors.
