Choosing the right size generator is crucial to keeping your home’s systems running during a power outage. At Southern Air, we’re proud to be a trusted provider of Generac standby generators, serving communities throughout Louisiana, including Alexandria, Shreveport, and Baton Rouge. Here’s how to determine the best generator size for your home.
Key Considerations for Sizing Your Generator
- Identify Essential Systems: Consider what needs to stay operational, such as HVAC, refrigerators, lighting, and medical equipment.
- Calculate Your Power Needs: Make a list of essential appliances and their wattage requirements. Then, calculate the total wattage, considering both running and starting watts.
- Convert to Kilowatts: Once you have the total wattage, convert it to kilowatts (kW) to determine the generator size.
- Common Generator Sizes:
- 7-10 kW: Suitable for small homes needing to power essential items like lights, a refrigerator, and a few small appliances.
- 12-20 kW: Ideal for medium-sized homes that need to power additional systems, such as central HVAC units and multiple large appliances.
- 22-45 kW: Designed for larger homes with multiple HVAC systems, large kitchens, and additional heavy-duty appliances.
