Standby Generators: A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home or commercial building and wired directly into the electrical system to provide power to some or all of your home’s circuits during a disruption of normal utility power. Standby generators are fueled by liquid propane or natural gas.
The number of circuits to which a standby generator can provide power–and the number of appliances you can run on those circuits–is determined by the power capacity of the generator.
Standby generators are about the same size as, and look similar to, a standard central air conditioner. A standby model may cost as little as $1,500 or as much as $15,000 or more–the greater the power capacity, the higher the cost.

How Much Power Do I Need?
There are two basic power measurements for generators: peak power (also known as startup power) and continuous power. Both are measured in wattage.
- Peak power is the wattage required for appliances at startup or when they are running at their highest levels of power consumption.
- Continuous power is the wattage required for operation of those appliances under normal load.
We’ve provided a worksheet to help you determine your specific needs based on the peak and continuous wattage requirements of the appliances you want to power. What’s below is a general guide.
