When the power goes out during a Florida storm, a backup generator keeps your home running. But choosing the right size is critical.
How to Calculate Your Power Needs
Start by listing the essential appliances you want to power:
- HVAC system (typically the largest load)
- Refrigerator and freezer
- Water heater
- Lights and outlets
- Pool equipment
Standby vs. Portable Generators
Standby generators are permanently installed and turn on automatically. Portable generators require manual setup and fuel.
Transfer Switches
A transfer switch safely connects your generator to your home electrical system. It prevents backfeeding, which can be dangerous to utility workers.
