You determine your size based on the need of electricity your home consumes.

The majority of near home in the United States are built with 200-amp electrical home generator service. 

In other words, the maximum amount of electrical home power generator can consume is 200-amps.

In reality. On hot summer days, the central air conditioner consumes a ton. At night, most homes barely use any other use you can a whole home generator.

If you absolutely, positively want to replace every, single amp, you’ll need a 48-kilowatt whole house power system, which generators all 200-amps of electricity.

In most cases, however, you can save significant choose a smaller model, which could still power the whole house generator.

Don’t even consider a Generac Commercial generator for a whole house power supply .

Generac QuietSource Series 

The Generac Quiet Source Series includes a few three-phase generator. Ignore them. Instead, focus your attention on the our 120/240-volt, single phase models.

1. 1800 vs. 3600 RPMs
Huh? Basically, the Generac engines on a Quiet Source generator run at half the speed of other whole house generators. The reduced speed consumes less fuel, makes less noise and wears less, resulting in less maintenance and increased life span.

2. Aluminum Enclosure
Just choose air conditioners, natural gas or propane powered generators are fully enclosed to protect the generator from the air.


Aluminum enclosures cost a little more, but they also outlast their steel counterparts. If you live near the coast – where salty air is notorious for corroding metal – get an aluminum enclosure.
