Generator General Information - Sippin Energy Products

10kw-14kw – Just ‘Essentials’
- We provide a 16-circuit Generator sub-panel. You get to choose 16 circuits (16 Breakers) to put on the
  generator. Only breakers with a 15 or 20 on them.
- More than enough to handle Heat, refrigerators, well/water, Majority of your Lights and Outlets
- Can NOT handle any large breakers (30, 40, 50, 60, etc..). No Central A/C, no Ovens, no Clothes
  Dryer, etc..)
- Simply read the numbers on your breakers, any that have a 30 or larger on them can NOT go on
  this size generator.
- Budget: $11,000 to $14,000 (+/-) average installation
- Est $229-$270/month with 25% down

16kw – 18kw Average/Small home “Whole House” with 100 amp service.
- Not recommended for 200amp services unless you have all gas appliances (Oven, Dryer, Water Heater, etc..)
- Can handle only 1 – Central A/C unit (3-ton max)
- If electric appliance, the Generator may need to ‘drop them out’: Oven, Dryer. Need to add cost
  for 2-SMMs (APPROX $300 EACH)– Cannot guarantee they will work when on generator power
- Note: If you have Electric Appliances and Central Air, its often more cost effective and convenient to
  simply go with a true ‘Whole House’ unit
- Budget: $13,000 to $15,000 (+/-) average installation
- Est $250-$291/month with 25% down

“Whole House” 22kw-26kw
- - 8kw minimum needed for typical home “Essentials”:
    Heating, lights, outlets, small appliances (fridge, micro, well)
  - Add Large Loads will increase Generator size:
    - A/C (3ton) – 6kw
    - Dryer – 5.4kw
    - Oven – 8kw
    - Electric Water Heater: 4.5watts
      (above are averages – varies)

- Example: 8kw (base line watts) + 6kw (1A/C) = 14kw (16kw or larger Gen needed)
  **Do NOT max out gen, leave extra 1-2kw room or town will not approve
  **Generators lose 1-2kw on Natural gas – Only Propane will give full Kw
- Budget: $14,500 to 17,500 (+/-) average installation
