How to Choose the Right Backup Generator for Your Home



Choosing a backup generator can feel overwhelming, with many options on the market and different features to consider. Here are some key factors to help you select the best generator for your home’s needs:

  • Power Requirements: Consider which appliances and systems you’ll want to keep running during an outage. Some homeowners prioritize essentials like refrigerators and lights, while others may want to power their HVAC systems and other major appliances.

  • Fuel Type: Most home standby generators run on natural gas, propane, or diesel. Natural gas and propane are generally cleaner options, but each has its pros and cons depending on availability and fuel cost in your area.

  • Automatic Transfer Switch: Look for a generator with an automatic transfer switch, which detects power outages and automatically starts the generator. This feature ensures your home stays powered without requiring manual intervention.
