The size of your generator will depend on the amount of electrical wattage that your home uses. Each home is unique and it all depends on the size of the home, the age of the appliances, how many lights you have, and what you want to be powered when there is a sudden shut-off. To determine how many watts your home uses, you should decide what you want to be powered, and then check the applicable appliances and their labels. The labels on an appliance should indicate how many watts it uses. Add up all the watts for the applicable appliances and divide that by 1000. This will give you kilowatts. Multiply the kilowatts by 1.25 to add a cushion to your electrical needs. The product of this will be how many watts your generator needs to be able to produce to power your home in an emergency.
