How We Size a Whole House Generator
The Air Conditioner
Air conditioning is usually the largest load in a Baytown home. Its starting demand often sets the generator size.
Electric or Gas Appliances
Electric ranges, dryers and water heaters draw far more power than gas ones. We count each one.
The Size of the Home
More square footage usually means more circuits and more than one air conditioner.
Your Gas Supply
A larger generator burns more fuel. We check that the gas line and meter can feed it.
Whole House or Partial Backup?
A whole house generator means nothing changes during an outage. A partial system powers only the circuits you pick and uses a smaller generator.
We lay out both options at the estimate. The backup generator page explains the partial setup.
