WHY A WHOLE-HOUSE GENERATOR IS MORE THAN JUST A LUXURY

Imagine this: a storm knocks out your power. Your heat or air conditioning shuts down, your refrigerator warms up, and your electronics go dark. With a whole-house generator, you won’t have to imagine.


A whole-house generator, also known as a standby generator, is a permanent fixture installed outside your home. It’s designed to automatically detect a power outage and restore electricity to your entire house within seconds. Unlike portable generators, which require manual setup and can only power a few essential appliances, a whole-house generator keeps your entire electrical system running smoothly.


BENEFITS OF WHOLE-HOUSE GENERATORS

Whole-house generators offer numerous benefits, including:

  • Uninterrupted Power: Unlike portable generators that power only a few appliances, a whole-house generator automatically kicks in within seconds of an outage, restoring power to your entire home.
  • Essential Systems Coverage: From air conditioning to refrigerators, sump pumps to medical equipment, a whole-house generator keeps critical systems running smoothly.
  • Enhanced Home Value: A whole-house generator is an attractive feature for potential buyers, increasing your home’s resale value and giving you peace of mind.
  • Food Preservation: Say goodbye to worries about food spoilage during extended outages. Your refrigerator and freezer will stay operational, protecting your valuable groceries.
  • Safety & Security: Maintain lighting, security systems, and garage door openers for added protection during blackouts.
  • Medical Necessity: For those with medical conditions requiring powered devices, a whole-house generator is a necessity, not a luxury.


CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE GENERATOR

The size of the generator you need depends on your household’s specific power requirements. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Small Homes (up to 2,000 sq ft): Typically, a generator with a capacity of 20-22 kW is sufficient.
  • Medium Homes (2,000-3,500 sq ft): A generator with a capacity of 22-27 kW is usually recommended.
  • Large Homes (over 3,500 sq ft): Generators with capacities of 27 kW and above are often necessary.

To determine the exact size needed for your home, it’s essential to consider all the electrical devices you want to keep running during an outage. Delcollo Electric Inc can help you assess your power needs and recommend the appropriate generator size.


COSTS OF WHOLE-HOUSE GENERATORS

The cost of a whole-house generator varies based on several factors, including size, brand, and installation requirements. Here are some average costs to consider:

  • Total Cost: On average, you can expect to pay between $7,000 and $15,000 for a fully installed whole-house generator.
