What’s the Right Size Generator for Your Home?

Choosing the right generator isn’t just about price — it’s about making sure your home gets the power it needs when it matters most.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why generator sizing is one of the most important steps in a proper install.

Here are the main factors we look at:

• Square footage
Larger homes require more capacity, especially if multiple HVAC systems or water heaters are involved.

• Critical circuits
We identify what you want powered: fridge, furnace, lights, sump pump, Wi-Fi, etc. This helps determine whether a 10kW, 14kW, or 22kW+ system is best.

• Start-up loads
Some appliances (like central AC) draw more power when they first kick on. We account for these to avoid overloads.

• Future upgrades
Adding an EV charger or hot tub later? We size with future growth in mind so you’re not maxed out right away.


Let a licensed electrician guide the process. At CNE Electrical, we perform detailed load calculations and site inspections to match you with the right generator — not just the biggest or most expensive one.
