How Do I Decide Which Generac Whole House Generator Is Right for My Needs?

Perhaps the first and single most important factor that you should consider when deciding on the kind of generator to secure for your home or business needs is quite simply: what electrical appliances do I need to keep running? While there are plenty of other factors involved in choosing a whole home generator or a business industrial generator, a great place to start your decision-making process is with simple math. How much electricity do you need to safely and comfortably keep things going strong during a power outage? Match that number up with the Wattage Output Rating for your new Generac Generator, and you’re well on your way to deciding which Generator is best for you! Here are a few of the Generac Whole Home Generators offered by Anderson Power Services, your top choice in South Georgia, Central Georgia, Coastal Georgia, and North Florida for Generac Generator distribution, installation, and service! Below, you’ll find a little more about several Generac Whole House Generator models, and what they might be able to do for you.

Below, you’ll find a chart of some of the appliances you may want to keep running, or utilize at some point during a power outage. Once you decide your needs, you can make smarter decisions on a generator size.

Appliance - Average Watts

  • Tankless Water Heater - 18,000 Watts
  • Central Air Conditioner - 3,800 Watts
  • Electric Range (1 Burner) - 2,000 Watts
  • Space Heater - 1,500 Watts
  • Upright Freezer - 1,250 Watts
  • Toaster Oven - 1,200 Watts
  • Window AC Unit - 1,000 Watts
  • Coffee Maker - 1,000 Watts
  • Gas Furnace - 800 Watts
  • Lights - 250 Watts
  • Plasma - TV 200 Watts
  • Home Security System - 100 Watts

Appliance - Average Watts

  • Electric Water Heater - 4,500 Watts
  • Clothes Dryer - 3,000 Watts
  • Hair Dryer - 1,500 Watts
  • Dishwasher - 1,500 Watts
  • Well Pump - 1,250 Watts
  • Washing Machine - 1,000 Watts

Once you decide what you need to keep running, it’s important to remember how much electricity is required to run those appliances. It’s also important to know if those appliances need to consistently run, or if they can just be powered for a short time. For instance, Refrigerators and Upright Freezers would need to be powered constantly in order to maintain their effectiveness. Air Conditioning Units might be able to be used sparingly, just like space heaters, or like an electric range. A Well Pump is a pretty big energy user, especially when compared to a Smartphone Charger or an Xbox Console, but it pales in comparison to an Electric Water Heater (4,500 Watts), or even a Tankless Water Heater (18,000 Watts)!
