Whole House Backup Generator System:
As the name implies, a whole home backup generator system automatically supplies electricity to your entire home during power outages. This provides all the creature comforts you are used to having while the grid is down – from your lights and plugs to TV, Internet, and your Air Conditioning! Depending on the size of your electrical requirements, we can size a generator to backup your entire electrical service or a smaller capacity unit (to keep it in budget) and incorporate load shedding to ensure safe running operation.
This process involves assessing your electrical load requirements for the home, determining the appropriate generator size and how best to integrate with your existing electrical system.
Partial Home Generatot Backup Systems:
Partial backup systems are designed to provide power to essential electrical loads in your home during an outage, ensuring that critical services remain operational. This would include items like fridges, freezers, well pumps, sump pumps etc. Unlike the whole home backup generator system, which can support every function within a home, these partial systems focus on delivering electricity to fundamental appliances and systems. Typically this allows for a smaller generator and lower cost of integration overall.
It’s important to note, however, that partial home generator backup systems do have their limitations. Typically they are not designed to support high-demand appliances such as electric water heaters, central air conditioning units, or large electrical equipment simultaneously. This means you must carefully assess which circuits or appliances you want to maintain during an outage and ensure that the system is appropriately sized to meet those needs.
Assessing Your Needs: Factors to Consider
When contemplating whether to invest in a whole home or partial home standy generator system, we need to evaluate several critical factors, as well as, your specific needs and circumstances.
Your lifestyle, wants and needs will also play a role in making a decision between these two options. For instance, if you rely heavily on electrical appliances, such as medical equipment or home office, you may benefit from the comprehensive coverage of a whole house generator.
