Types of Backup Generators
Backup power systems can be configured in different ways depending on how much of your home you want to keep operating and how the generator will be fueled. Carew can help you compare your options based on your property, electrical demand, and priorities during an outage.
Home Standby Generators
A whole-home standby generator is permanently installed and designed to automatically provide backup power when utility service fails. Properly sized systems can support a broad range of household circuits, including heating and cooling equipment, lighting, refrigeration, sump pumps, and other everyday electrical needs.
Essential-Load Standby Generators
Not every homeowner needs to power the entire house during an outage. An essential-load system is sized around selected circuits like the furnace, refrigerator, sump pump, lights, medical equipment, or other priorities to provide focused backup power with a smaller generator.
Natural Gas Standby Generators
Natural gas standby generators connect to an existing utility gas supply, eliminating the need to manually refuel the unit during an outage. They can be a practical option for properties that already have natural gas service available.
Propane Standby Generators
Propane-powered standby generators draw fuel from an on-site LP tank and can provide automatic backup power for homes without natural gas service. The appropriate tank and generator size depend on expected electrical demand and desired runtime.
What Kind of Generator Do I Need for My Home?
The right generator depends less on the square footage of your home than on what you want to keep powered during an outage. Heating and cooling equipment, electric water heaters, sump pumps, refrigerators, well pumps, cooking appliances, and other high-demand equipment can significantly affect generator sizing.
