Q: Can you switch fuel types for a whole-house generator?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Does installing a generator increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes,<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/generator-installation-avoid-electrical-disasters.htm"> installing a generator</a> usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they&rsquo;ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly. </p></div>

Q: How do generator specifications and installation requirements impact the overall cost?

• <div><p>Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.</p></div>

Q: What size generator do I need to run a fridge?

• <div><p>While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you&rsquo;ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.</p></div>

Q: What size whole house generator do I need to run central AC?

• <div><p>To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whole-house-generator-sizing.htm">generator size</a>. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.</p></div>
