The short answer
Size a generator around the equipment you want to run, rather than square footage alone.
Key points
- Priority loads: list refrigeration, lighting, medical equipment, air conditioning, and other essentials.
- Starting demand: motors can need more power to start than to keep running.
- Load planning: decide what must operate together and what can be managed.
- Installation scope: confirm fuel supply, transfer equipment, placement, permits, and testing.
Bottom line: The right generator supports your agreed backup plan. A larger unit does not replace careful load planning.
Next step
Give ABR Electric your priority list and ask for a sizing evaluation and complete installed quote.
