"The whole process of quoting, sales presentation, finance arrangement, installation was simple, timely, professional, complete and painless. The price was very competitive, the installation was smooth and prompt, and the end product is thing of beauty. This review is from a homeowner who has had a couple of terrible furnace experiences in the past decade."

Wolverine Power Systems offers versatile and durable power generator products to industrial, commercial and residential markets.

"have used Wolverine Power Systems for eight years I now I believe and at all of my Michigan homes. This company's service has steadily been declining over the years to the point where I have no choice to cease doing business with them and to warn others of their extreme poor customer service. I have a generator down at a house since end of June 2021. Called emergency service, tech complained he already worked a 12 hour day and i had to beg him to come out and bribe with a bottle of whiskey. He did not take the bottle after the call. However, he was not able to fix the generator and furthermore he was not able to properly diagnose it so what was the point of the emergency call? Had another tech come out, Bobby, who said the starter was bad and had to order replacement. Wolverine power sent the repair estimate to an old email address and after a week, no phone call from them, i called them to see when Bobby was coming out to replace the starter and they tell me they are waiting on me for approval. I understand even though I told Bobby to order the starter, "dispatch" or whomever needs a signed approval but i could have signed that with Bobby but more importantly a down generator is a down generator. How about a phone call follow up or even clicking read receipt on the email to make an attempt to know i even received it. July 19th get an email starter is in be out on the 21st. Nope. canceled. July 26th we send a follow up email asking when we will be on the schedule, no reply. We did get an email from Wolverine accounting inquiring about past due invoices though which was amusing since one of them was for the preventative maintenance that was supposed to be done in the end of June but the generator was down. Even funnier is when they did come out to do the preventive maintenance they brought the wrong battery. They have been servicing this generator for 8 years. How do you order the wrong battery given the account history? Aug 6th we finally get a reply from Wolverine Power that all parts are in and they will be out Monday Aug 9th to get us back up and running. Nope, canceled again. Worst part is Wolverine is not proactive where Dispatch can email or call you to inform you of when you will be rescheduled. You have to constantly chase them down. 2 days have gone by and guess what a storm rolled through Michigan and 800,000 without power now across the State. Us included so now, higher priority services like hospitals or emergency services, rightfully so, will be Wolverine's priority so we sit in the dark and my assumption is it will be another 2 weeks before they get to us. Bottom-line, if you can find another reputable Generator Service company I would definitely go that route."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.
