The air conditioner sets the size.
In Florida the biggest load in the house is the AC, and the hardest moment is when its compressor starts. That start, not the square footage, decides the generator.
How we size it.
- 01
List what you want running
Not what the house has. Most people want the AC, the fridge, the lights and the Wi-Fi. Fewer need the pool pump and the electric oven.
- 02
Measure the AC
We read the compressor’s nameplate and, where it matters, measure its start-up draw. A soft-start kit on the AC can cut that dramatically.
- 03
Add load management
Big loads that don’t need to run together, like a second AC, a dryer or a pool pump, get managed so the generator isn’t oversized for a moment that never happens.
- 04
Size with margin
The generator should run your normal storm load at well under its rating, so it isn’t straining for days.
Why bigger isn’t free
A larger generator costs more to buy, burns more fuel even at light loads, and needs more gas supply. On propane, an oversized unit can halve the days a tank lasts. Getting the size right is the biggest cost decision in the project.
Let us size it properly. Free.

Sixteen pages: a live hurricane-season clock, a propane run-time calculator, honest generator sizing, and the Florida license number on every page because state law requires it.
