Numbers may not represent the type of appliances or tools in your home. These numbers are averaged from a variety of sources. We recommend purchasing a generator with a large enough wattage rating to run all needed items at 50 percent of full generator capacity. This wattage chart should just be used as a reference/starting point. For more accurate wattage requirements you should either look at the Data Plate on the back of your appliances/tools or you could use a wattage meter that will tell you exactly what wattage is required. Your tools and appliances may require different wattages depending on a variety of factors. Please note that these are only estimates. This information has been compiled from a wide variety of online sources. Minimum and maximum energy consumption is noted, as well as the surge requirements some tools and appliances require for initial start-up. There is no sense in spending more than need be or under equipping yourself for your need. Feel free to call in at 88 x-1 and we can personally help walk you through sizing and pairing your application and budget with the appropriate generator.

The following wattage chart can be used as a guideline to help you determine what type of generator will be best for your needs.
