    The size of the generator you need for your home depends on the total power requirements of your appliances and electrical systems. A qualified electrician can help you calculate your home's power needs and recommend a generator size that can meet those needs. As a general rule, a generator with a capacity of at least 14KW - 22KW can power essential appliances like refrigerators, sump pumps, and lights in a typical home during a power outage. However, larger homes with more appliances or specialized needs may require a generator with a higher capacity, such as 24KW - 48KW or more. It's important to choose the right size generator to ensure it can meet your power needs and provide reliable backup power during emergencies. 1000 watts = 1KW.
