Generators

A home generator is about 65 decibels (in comparison, the average vacuum is 75 decibels). All of our generators come with built-in sound attenuation to dampen sound and are designed to be permanently installed on a concrete pad.

A generator should be located as close to the main electrical panel as possible and close proximity to the gas or propane is helpful too. A generator needs to be away from bedrooms and five feet away from any window, door or vent and can be 18 inches away from the wall if it’s a fire rated wall, such as Hardie cement board or brick. You should also be mindful of your neighbors when placing your generator because of the exhaust direction.

Your generator will consume one to two gallons per hour, depending on generator size and what appliances you’re running. A whole house generator will give you peace of mind at the expense of increased fuel consumption and possibly having to upsize your propane tank or natural gas regulator. With a partial home backup, the generator is sized to power your critical loads like your fridge, freezer, lights, heat and some plug outlets.

Our generator warranties start at five years and can be extended by five, seven and ten years when the generator is installed by a certified dealer, such as Scurfield Solar & Heating.

Your generator can be sized to power your entire house or just your critical loads (fridge, freezer, lights, etc). After an analysis of your home, we can determine the right size generator to meet all of your needs.
