How do I know what size generator my home needs?
Sizing a whole-home standby generator depends entirely on your property’s electrical load and which appliances you consider essential. During an on-site power load evaluation, a licensed technician will calculate the starting and running wattage of your HVAC systems, well pumps, refrigeration, and medical equipment. Generally, homes in the Piedmont region require anywhere from a 14kW to a 26kW standby system to achieve complete power independence during a utility grid drop.
Do I need a building permit to install a standby generator in North Carolina?
Yes, installing a permanent backup generator requires both electrical and gas piping permits across North Carolina. Depending on where you live, the installation must be inspected and approved by local municipal code enforcement—such as the City of Durham, the City of Burlington, or county inspectors in Alamance and Orange Counties. Mebane Electrical Services manages the entire local permitting and inspection process from start to finish to ensure your system is 100% code-compliant.
Can I run my home's heating and cooling systems on a backup generator?
Absolutely. Central air conditioning units and heat pumps consume a massive amount of electricity, which is why a proper power load assessment is critical before installation. By pairing a correctly sized generator with a modern power management system, you can keep your HVAC running seamlessly, ensuring your family stays comfortable through humid summer blackouts or freezing winter ice storms.
What is the difference between a whole-house standby generator and a portable generator?
A portable generator is a temporary, manual solution that requires you to drag it outside, fill it with gasoline, and run extension cords to specific appliances—or link it to your panel via a manual portable generator interlock connection. A whole-home standby generator is a permanent structural fixture. It is hardwired directly into your main electrical infrastructure, runs on clean natural gas or liquid propane, and activates automatically within 10 seconds of a power failure, whether you are at home or away.
