Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat can i power in my home with a backup generator?
A free in home consultation is the best way to determine what YOUR house will need. If you just need the basics, like a sump pump, refrigerator, furnace, and a few lights, an 8 kW would work. If you want to back up a house with large electric loads, then a 22 kW may be what you need. There are many options in between.
