These are some of the points I was told by Accurate Power and Technology 352-735-8285. They do free in home assessments as each home is different as are the needs of the customer. A standby generator needs a permit so the size of the generator is governed by the county as to the power drawn from the home. There are numerous ways to reduce the size of the generator, again it is based on the needs of the customer. This was gone over by the Accurate Power rep and several options were provided. The generator runs a test mode once a week for about 5-10 minutes. This keeps the battery charged and lets you know if there are any issues. Servicing once a year is recommended just like your air conditioner. With Accurate Power they do the entire job from licensed electricians and gas/lp installation,to permits. Generators are all they do. I apologize if I have offended anyone, as everyone has different needs and capabilities. I am not capable of hooking up a generator, doing the gas and installing a window a/c unit. My husband is having more and more medical issues so has become dependent on a continuous power source. I was mainly providing a name of a company for those who may want a back up power source. Just like car and home insurance you hope you never need to use it.
