Generator Options

Whole-Home & Standby Generators

Homeowners in Allentown and Lehigh Valley have two options when it comes to backup power: standby generators and portable generators. Unlike portable systems, standby generators are permanently installed and offer automatic power to your home as soon as electricity goes out. Designed for long-duration outages, standby generators can power your property seamlessly, unlike portable generators that must be manually turned on. Standby generators can also be sized to power your entire home, so that nothing gets disrupted during an outage. If you’re ready for the ultimate peace of mind and convenience, contact Ace Hardware Home Services for an upgrade to a whole-home system.

FAQ

Generator FAQs

What size generator do I need for my home?
The size of a generator is measured by the power it can provide. This means the right size for you depends on the size of your home and the systems you need to run. Most whole-home systems are 24-30 kW or more to power everything, including HVAC, electric ranges, well pumps, and more.

When should I replace my generator?
Standby generators typically last 15-20 years if properly maintained. However, you may need a replacement sooner if your system has frequent breakdowns, reduced efficiency, physical damage, or is no longer able to meet your home’s backup power needs.
