For homeowners wanting the ultimate entry-level whole-house standby, a 22kW is a perfect choice to reap all of the benefits of a whole-house generator over a regular home standby. A generator in the 27-36kW range is perfect for most homes since they replace 75% of the 200 amps coming into your electrical panel.
