This Whole House category is for homeowners and families who want their entire home to keep running when the grid goes down. Suppose you are tired of worrying about losing the fridge, lights, AC, heating, or medical equipment during storms and blackouts. In that case, a whole-house generator can provide steady, reliable power and peace of mind.
Here, we focus on whole-house generators and standby systems built to power most or all of your home at once. You’ll find automatic units that start themselves when power fails, systems that run on natural gas or propane, and setups that can handle heavy loads like central air conditioners, well pumps, electric ovens, and more. We explain in simple language what a whole-house generator can realistically run, how the automatic transfer switch works, what it sounds like, and what you should expect in fuel and maintenance costs.
On this page, you’ll see detailed reviews, clear buying guides, and easy comparisons between different sizes and brands of whole-house generators. We also answer common questions like “What size whole house generator do I need?” “Can it really power everything?”, and “What does installation involve?” The goal is to help you choose the right whole-house solution for your home and budget.
