How to Size a Backup Generator for Your New Jersey Home

Sep 21, 2026 | In The News

A standby generator can provide valuable peace of mind when power outages occur, but choosing the right generator size is an important part of the installation process. A generator that is too small may not provide enough power for the electrical systems and appliances you need, while an unnecessarily large generator can increase installation and operating costs.

Marketing Mutiny recently explored how to size a backup generator for your New Jersey home, including some of the key considerations homeowners should understand before selecting a system.

Generator sizing starts with determining which electrical loads need to remain operational during an outage. Homeowners may want to power essential systems such as heating and cooling equipment, refrigerators, sump pumps, lighting, security systems, and other critical appliances. The electrical demand of these systems, including the additional power required when certain equipment starts, plays an important role in determining the appropriate generator capacity.
