After you’ve cleared up the myths, the next question is simple: Which generator is right for your home? At All Phase Electric Service, we help homeowners in Fort Myers, Tampa, and Marco Island make smart decisions with our generator sales and generator installation services. Here’s what you need to know.
Step 1: Calculate Your Power Needs
Not all homes require the same amount of backup power. Start by listing the appliances and systems you need during an outage—think refrigerators, air conditioning, sump pumps, or medical equipment. Our licensed electricians can perform a load calculation to size your generator correctly.
Step 2: Portable vs. Standby Generators
Portable units are smaller, less expensive, and run on gasoline. But they require manual setup, cords, and constant refueling. Standby generators, installed by professional electrical contractors, automatically power your home during outages and run on natural gas or propane. For homeowners in storm-prone Florida, standby systems are the reliable choice.
Step 3: Key Features to Look For
Modern generators come with features that make life easier. Look for automatic transfer switches, remote monitoring, and quiet operation. We walk our customers through every option during the generator sales process so they can invest in a system that fits their lifestyle.
Choosing the right generator doesn’t have to be confusing. With guidance, you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing your family and property are protected.
