How Does the Sizing Chart Work?
When you decide to get a generator for your property, you’re doing so because you want to have an adequate power supply available in the event that an emergency takes place and your connection to the municipal grid no longer proves useful. The majority of people expect their generator to be able to handle all of the major appliances and electronics in the property, and that means that they’re going to be able to supply a certain amount of power. This chart service will help us determine how much energy you’re going to need, and therefore which size of generator will be necessary.
 
Complex Numbers
You might think that it would be enough to add up the wattage from all of your appliances and compare that with the capacity of the generators you’re looking at – but it’s actually more complicated than that. Some appliances and electronics require more energy to start up than they do to run, and they won’t always make this clear. It’s also true that some electric generator models cannot sustain their full power capabilities when being used over a longer period of time. These kinds of technicalities might be lost on somebody without industry knowledge, but we’re more than prepared to handle these difficulties and complications.
 
Adequate Coverage
The first concern for any generator installation should be whether or not it’s going to provide a good enough supply of power for the property that it’s serving. If you have a generator and it’s not strong enough for your needs, there’s a good chance that you’ll only discover this when you really need the generator to be working. By using our generator sizing chart service, you’re certain to have a generator that matches your property’s needs.
 
Cutting Costs
Of course, it’s possible that you’ve gone in the opposite direction and actually installed a generator that’s far bigger than is necessary for your property. While it doesn’t hurt to have a powerful installation that can cover your needs, it also makes very little sense to spend more money than necessary – particularly given that electric generator installations can be quite expensive. We’ll make sure that you’re not going to overextend your finances to get something that you simply don’t need.
