How To Choose The Right Generator

When the power goes out, a home generator can turn a blackout into a minor inconvenience instead of a full-blown crisis. But with so many options available, how do you find the one that’s just right for your home? We’ve put together a simple guide to help you choose the perfect generator so you’re ready for whatever comes your way.

At Pagliaro’s PowerSource, we’re here to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible.

Step 1: Determine Your Power Needs

The first step to finding a home generator is figuring out what you need it to power.

• Essential Items Only: If you want to keep your fridge, lights, and a few outlets running, a smaller, portable generator may be enough.
• Whole-Home Backup: If you want everything in your home, from your central AC to your appliances, to stay powered, you’ll need a whole-home generator with enough wattage to handle it all.

Step 2: Decide on Features

Think about the features that will make your generator most valuable and efficient. Some options to consider include:

• Automatic Start: Standby generators can turn on automatically when the power goes out, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
• Noise Level: Look for generators with noise-reducing technology if you want a quieter operation.
• Portability: Portable generators with wheels are easier to move and store when not in use.
• Smart Technology: Some modern generators come with mobile app integration, letting you monitor and control your system remotely.
