Buying Guide

Selecting the right generator can be a daunting task, that's why we've put together a way to quickly determine what best fits your needs. But just as important as selecting a generator is knowing how to integrate it into your life. 

You've probably already scrolled through countless sites, calculators, and opinion pieces....

But at HomeGeneratorsPlus.com, we know it can be much more simple than that. There are only a few options to fill your power needs. And we are going to break them down as simple as possible. So here we go! 

What will you use it for?

Home Standby

-Some buyers are looking for a Home Standby unit that will seamlessly keep their power up and running for as long as it takes to restore power. These units are typically over 10kW. The average size home with an air conditioner, 2 refrigerators, electric dryer, electric water heater, and maybe a garage freezer can require up to 25kW to keep running smoothly in a power outage. These units will integrate directly into your existing electrical panel and can run as long as needed, truly giving you full energy independence. If you are looking to set it and forget it, look into our Home Standby Units. 

In addition to choosing the right generator, you will need the accessories that make integration possible. We try to make that easy on our site, but if you have questions don't hesitate to email or call and let one of our experts help you find exactly what you need.

**Remember, to integrate these into your existing panel, you will need to contact a licensed electrician. The set-up is made easy with our Smart Home Panels, and our Ecosystem of accessories. And if you have questions about what exactly you need you can always call us!**

Professional Use

-Some buyers want to be able to have a professional set-up. Something that will be portable and powerful. To answer the needs of the pros, we suggest looking into our Professional line. These units are going to pack a punch, be lightweight and portable, and often have options for different fuels and power expansion. They are typically going to be 6-10kW, and be long lasting and tough. For the production industry, we suggest looking at the Solar line. They are silent, portable and expandable. Meaning you'll never worry about noise or power when shooting remote again!

In Case of Emergency...Plug it in!

If you are looking to CYA in case of an emergency, check out our Emergency backup line. Topping out around 6kW, these units will power all of the essentials without breaking the bank. They are powerful and expandable, meaning you can add on power capabilities as your budget allows. Our solar units can be charged by plugging in to your home, so they are full and ready when the power goes, then maintained with solar panels or one of our fuel powered generators for extended blackouts. But rest assured, any unit in this line will run your fridge and have room for charging devices and a few lights when the city goes dark.

Portable Power

If you haven't noticed, we are big fans of portable, renewable energy. These generators are going to have a wide range of power options when you buy from us. Almost all of our generators are designed for on-the-go use, but some are even easier to haul along. If you are looking for enough power for a good time, check out our mobile series. Here we have assembled the most portable and lightweight generators and inverters on the market. And they still have the ability to run your essentials in case of an emergency. They have plenty of power, but come with a small price tag and a lot of fun! 

Picking a Generator doesn't have to be hard. It's as easy as deciding what you need it for, and letting the pros do the rest. We are always happy to help you pick the perfect unit for your budget and power needs. If you still have questions, shoot us an email or give us a call and we'll help you finalize your decision. There are so many options, but there is one perfect for you. Let's find it together!
