Key Questions for Backup Generator Installation

• Do you want a whole-house generator or a partial-house generator that powers essential circuits only?
• What appliances and systems (e.g., HVAC, refrigerators, security systems) need to stay on during an outage?

A: It depends on your power needs and budget. 

A whole-house generator powers your entire home, including large appliances like HVAC systems, offering complete coverage during an outage. 

A partial-house generator powers only essential circuits, such as lights, refrigerators, and security systems, providing a more cost-effective solution.
