Frequently asked questions
How do I size a generator?
Add the running watts of everything you need, then check the surge watts of motor-driven appliances like refrigerators. That surge figure often sets the minimum.
Inverter or conventional?
Inverters suit sensitive electronics and run quieter. Conventional units cost less per watt and handle heavy motor loads.
Do I need a transfer switch?
A transfer switch lets you power household circuits safely without extension cords. Standby units usually require one, while portables can run without it.
