Automatic Stand-By Generators come in various sizes and capacities. Determining which generator is right for your location is based on several factors. The size of the home, the activity within the home and the necessary kilowatts (power) that needs to be sustained during a potential outage are all essential when determining the appropriate generator.
While every home is different, it is fair to say that most of our customers find themselves purchasing a generator within the 20-30kw range.

What is a Whole Home Generator?
Whole home generators provide enough electricity to operate the basic necessities inside your home for a period of days. While most power outages last only a few hours, we are seeing a greater incidence of people across the country being without power for days and even weeks. Climate changes mean that we are having a higher number of severe storms that can knock out power for miles. Portable generators can provide some relief, but not for long, especially if you have medical equipment or rely on heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration.
Benefits of a Whole Home Generator
Whole-home generators are designed to power an entire household for an extended period of time. Other benefits of whole-home generators include:
- Permanently installed
- Mounted on a concrete pad to withstand high winds and flooding
- Provide power to your home for days
- Connected to your home’s electrical panel
- Operated by diesel, natural gas, or liquid propane
Do I Need A Whole Home Generator?
A whole-home generator is sized to meet the overall requirements of your home should you experience a power outage. These pieces of equipment are most critical when power is lost for a few days and in households with small children, elderly, and individuals with medical conditions. A whole-home generator will keep your appliances, HVAC system, and medical equipment running until electrical power is restored. Depending on the load capacity of your whole home generator, you can run the following appliances and equipment during a power outage:
- Central air conditioning
- Washer and dryer
- Laptops, televisions, desktop computers, and radios
- Sump and well pumps
- Lighting
- Coffeemaker, microwave oven, and other small kitchen appliances

How Do I Choose the Right Whole Home Generator?
Choosing the right whole-home generator requires experience and expertise in the electrical requirements for your home. Whole-home generators are not intended to power every device in your home but only the most critical. An experienced whole-home generator technician calculates the load capacity that is right for your home and family situation. The technician recommends a variety of generators that range from basic, budget-friendly options to full load capacity.
Can I Install a Whole Home Generator?
Whole home generators are wired directly into the electrical panel of your home, so we do not recommend installing the equipment yourself. S&S Mechanical specializes in whole-home generator installation. We ensure that the generator is properly mounted on the concrete pad and we verify that the electrical connections are safe. Our technician also tests the system and provides instruction on the unit’s operation.
Whole-home generators require regular maintenance after 24 to 48 hours of continuous operation. The technicians of S&S Mechanical will come to your home during a power outage to perform the required maintenance.
