What is a Whole House Generator?

A whole house generator (or home standby generator) is a permanent backup power system installed outside your home, much like a central air conditioning unit. Connected to your home’s electrical system, it automatically powers your home during an outage. Unlike portable generators, a whole house generator provides seamless, uninterrupted power to your entire home, keeping essential systems like HVAC, refrigeration, and lighting operational.

Benefits of Using a Whole House Generator

  1. Uninterrupted Power Supply:
    Keep your home comfortable and functional during outages. Lights, appliances, HVAC systems, and essential equipment will continue running smoothly.
  2. Protection for Electronics:
    Power surges during outages can damage sensitive electronics like computers, TVs, and appliances. Whole house generators provide clean, stable power to keep your devices safe.
  3. Enhanced Safety and Security:
    Ensure critical systems—like medical equipment, security systems, and sump pumps—remain operational during prolonged outages.
  4. Increased Home Value:
    A whole house generator is a desirable feature that can boost your home’s market value. Potential buyers see it as a valuable investment for peace of mind.

How to Choose the Right Whole House Generator

1. Assess Your Power Needs
Identify the appliances and systems you need during an outage, such as HVAC, refrigerators, sump pumps, lighting, and medical equipment.

2. Choose a Fuel Type

  • Natural Gas: Convenient with a continuous fuel supply piped to your home.
  • Propane: Offers flexibility for homes without access to natural gas but requires periodic refueling.

3. Determine the Right Size
A qualified electrician will evaluate your home’s size and power consumption to recommend the perfect generator capacity.

4. Consider Key Features
Look for features like automatic transfer switches for seamless transitions, remote monitoring for real-time updates, and noise-reduction technology for quieter operation.
