Choosing the Right Generator for Your Business

If you’re considering generator installation for your home, business, or industrial site, the first question to answer is: what type of generator do you actually need?

With so many options out there, choosing the wrong size or type can lead to unnecessary costs—or worse, unreliable performance.

Understand Your Power Load

The most important factor in selecting a generator is understanding your energy needs. Are you powering a few appliances during outages at home, or keeping an entire retail space or manufacturing line running? Accurate load calculations help ensure you choose a generator that won’t overload or underperform.

Standby vs. Portable Generators

Homeowners often choose between portable and standby generators. Portable units are more affordable and flexible but require manual setup. Standby generators offer seamless backup and automatically kick on during outages, making them ideal for homes or businesses that can’t afford downtime.

Fuel Type Considerations

Generators can run on natural gas, diesel, or propane. Each has its pros and cons depending on your location, access, and budget. Our team helps clients evaluate which fuel type makes the most sense for their setup and long-term use.

Installation and Repair Support

Even the best generator needs proper installation and access to repair services. Working with a company like Generator Plus ensures your system is correctly installed, regularly maintained, and backed by experts who know how to keep it running.
