Figure Power
Posted on Wednesday, February 11th, 2009 at 2:14 pmHow Do You Figure Out What Size Automatic Generator You need To Keep A house Going When The Power Goes Out?
We have a four bedroom house with central heat, electric stove,refrig,television and lights and various appliances.Also we have a heavy duty submersible pump for our water well .We are wanting to get one of the generators that automatically start when the power goes out.How to you figure out what size you need for your complete needs?
>>We are wanting to get one of the generators that automatically start when the power goes out.
If that's really what you want - instead of a generator that you start and hook up manually during a power outage - then you absolutely won't be able to do this without having a qualified, licensed electrician install the standby transfer switch and circuit panel next to your existing electric panel. It is the standby transfer switch that senses when your main power goes out and signals your standby generator to start.
And it is very unlikely - since you had to ask this question on this forum - that you'd be comfortable pouring the concrete pad and installing the permanent generator, and running the fuel line for that generator, outside your home - so you'll almost certainly use a professional installer / dealer to install the generator.
Since you'll be using a professional electrician, and a professional generator installer / supplier, you'll almost certainly be getting their advice on what the right size generator for you will be.
As others on this forum have noted, the main variable will be if you need to run central air conditioning or central electric heat - if so, your needs go much higher. If neither of those is required, then the pros will tell you that you need about 7.5 kilowatts (kw) at the low end up to about 10kw - and the exact amount will be what you and the pros decide after reviewing your specific circumstances.
