Proper Sizing for Longevity and Efficiency
Having the proper sizing is critical. We typically recommend sizing the generator so the load is around 80% of its capacity, striking the perfect balance between performance and durability.

Powering Your Load
Clients have various options regarding the load their generator powers. It can range from the entire house, with or without load shedding mechanisms, to dedicated essential loads.
Maximizing Efficiency with Load Shedding
Load shedding manages power distribution during outages, prioritizing critical systems while temporarily shedding the non-essential ones. Opting for partial load capability through load shedding can reduce the generator size and save you money.
Load calculations are essential in determining the power requirements of a home or building to ensure that the standby generator can adequately meet its energy demands during an outage. Local codes and regulations further guide the installation process, ensuring compliance with safety standards and legal requirements.
Fuel Source Options and Long-Term Considerations
Multiple fuel source options—natural gas, liquid propane, or diesel—offer flexibility based on availability and preference. However, in addition to sizing and fuel considerations, other aspects require attention such as fuel consumption and regular maintenance.
The Importance of Regular Maintenance
While maintenance and repairs for your generator may incur upfront costs, they ultimately lead to long-term savings by prolonging the lifespan of your system. Regular maintenance, such as oil and filter changes, helps identify and address potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs or failures. With our tailored maintenance plans, we provide a range of services, including thorough inspection of electrical connections and component testing, to address your specific needs.
