Preparing for Your Generator Consultation with MALL Energy Home
When it comes to protecting your home from unexpected power outages, having a standby generator is a smart investment. At MALL Energy Home, we know that choosing the right generator might feel like a big task—especially if you’re not familiar with the process. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you prepare for your consultation with us. Don’t worry if you don’t have all the answers—our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way. Every home is different, and we provide a complete analysis of your home’s electrical load before you make your purchasing decision.
What to Expect During a Generator Consultation
To find the best generator for your home, we’ll assess your power needs and the setup of your home’s electrical system. Here are some of the key areas we’ll discuss:
Essential and Non-Essential Power Needs
What essential systems and appliances do you want to keep running during an outage?
Common examples include refrigerators, HVAC systems, medical equipment, water pumps, and lighting.
Are there non-essential appliances or features you’d like to power as well?
Think about items like a pool pump, hot tub, sauna, outdoor lighting, or even a home theater system.
If you're not sure, that’s okay—our team will help you assess your needs based on your home’s unique setup.
Home Size and Electricity Usage
What is the size of your home (in square footage)?
This helps us estimate the power load your generator needs to handle.
Larger homes typically require more power to support essential appliances and systems. Knowing your square footage allows us to recommend the right generator size for reliable backup power.
What is your average daily electricity usage?
If you’re unsure, don’t worry—you can check your electricity bill or online utility account for an approximate number.
We’ll also conduct a thorough analysis of your home’s electrical load to determine the exact generator size you’ll need to meet your power demands.
Heating and Cooling Systems
Do you have an electric heating system or a gas heating system? This helps us understand how much power is needed for your HVAC systems.
What about air conditioning? Let us know the tonnage of your AC unit(s) and how many systems you have in your home.
Is your water heater electric or gas-powered? This is important to know for sizing and fuel type considerations.
Home Infrastructure
Where is your main electrical panel located?
What is the size of your main breaker (in amps)?
Do you have more than one electrical panel? For example, homes with workshops or additions may have an extra panel.
Where is your gas meter located in relation to your electrical panel? If these two are in separate areas, the distance between them can affect the cost of the installation. Knowing this in advance will help us provide a more accurate quote.
Fuel Preferences
Do you have a preference for fuel type? Most standby generators run on natural gas, propane, or diesel. If you already have a natural gas connection, we can assess its compatibility with your new generator.
Budget and Priorities
Do you have a budget range in mind? Knowing your budget can help us determine whether to focus on powering essential systems or expanding to include non-essentials. If you’re unsure, we’ll guide you through options that balance your needs and costs.
