Frequently Asked Questions
What size standby generator should I choose?
Have the proposed loads assessed for the actual appliances and starting requirements. Ask the installer to identify which circuits will operate together, whether load management is needed, and how the proposed generator and transfer equipment meet that design. Bedroom count alone is not a sufficient selection method.
How should I compare natural gas and propane?
Confirm fuel availability, pressure, storage constraints and delivery arrangements for your property. Request fuel-consumption documentation for the exact generator and intended loads, and have the installer explain the proposed fuel system. Do not assume uninterrupted supply during a storm.
Does the quote include a transfer switch?
Ask for the transfer equipment model and installation scope in writing. Confirm what is included, any electrical or fuel work, site preparation, required documents, commissioning and maintenance.
How should I compare the two generator proposals?
Use the same intended loads, site information, fuel arrangement and installation scope. Ask for model manuals, service arrangements and an itemized quote before deciding.
