Standby vs Backup Generator – WATT’s the Difference?

Although often used interchangeably, a standby generator and a backup generator are different in capacity, automation, fuel source, and use.

Standby generator installation integrates the generator into your home’s electrical system and automatically kicks in once power goes.
It has a high-power capacity to power your entire home and uses natural gas or propane.
Standby generators come at a higher cost and require permits, inspections, and professional installation.
These are the best option for homeowners who want uninterrupted power during outages.

A backup generator requires a manual start and needs to be plugged in and turned on.
In most cases, it is portable and you can connect and disconnect it when.
It has a lower power capacity than standby generators and only provides power to essential appliances, e.g., fridge, lights, for a limited time.
There is no installation or permits required; simply plug and use.

FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most — no sparks, just straight talk

Standby generators within the 16-22 kW range are recommended for 2000 ft.² homes. These are strong enough to power the entire home. The best choice for you will depend on the type of appliances you have or whether you want your entire home to be powered or just the essential systems.

A back up generator can cost anywhere from $500-$18,000+. The amount depends on the type of generator, its power capacity, and whether it’s for home or commercial use.

The average home in Toronto is 1500-2500 ft.², needing a generator that is between 12 kW and 22 kW. An 8 to 12 kW generator will power essential circuits, like your fridge, furnace, sump pump, lights, outlets, and internet. If you want most of the home powered i.e. kitchen, laundry services, small hot water tank, a 14 to 18 kW generator is recommended. To power the whole house i.e. full electric range and HVAC system, we recommend a 20 to 24 kW generator.
