FAQs

What size generator do I need for my home?

The right generator size depends on how much power your home uses. A smaller home with only a few appliances and circuits may need only a 10–14kW unit.

Larger homes with multiple HVAC systems and high-energy appliances typically need 25kW or more. For the best recommendation, have a licensed electrician calculate your home’s power needs.

What fuels a standby generator?

Most Generac standby generators run on natural gas, connecting directly to your home’s existing gas line. The generator will keep running as long as the gas supply is active.

This is a reliable option if your home already has natural gas service, though you should expect a higher gas bill when the generator is in use.

Can a generator be installed inside the home?

No, a whole-home standby generator, like a central AC, must be installed outside. It’s typically placed on a concrete pad near your home’s electrical and gas connections.

To ensure safety, it needs to be at least 3 to 5 feet from the house in an open area for proper airflow and to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
