Consumer Alert

Stopping Domestic Electrical Hazards in Fort Lauderdale

Electrical issues in Fort Lauderdale are often exacerbated by Broward County's high humidity and salt-air environment. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to property damage or safety hazards.

Don't Know What Size to Buy

Generator marketing can be confusing. Professional load analysis determines exactly what capacity your home or business needs.

Want to Run AC on Generator

Air conditioning has large startup loads. Sizing must account for both running load and motor starting current to avoid overloading.

Current Generator Struggles

If your existing generator overloads or won't start equipment, it may be undersized. We analyze loads to determine if upgrade is needed.

Planning New Generator Purchase

Before investing in a generator system, know exactly what size you need. Avoid undersizing disappointment or oversizing waste. Professional sizing protects your investment.

Business Growth Plans

Facilities planning to add equipment or expand should size generators for future loads, not just current needs.

Essential Loads Only vs. Whole-House

Understanding the significant cost difference between essential-load backup and whole-house backup helps budget appropriately.

How It Works

How Our Fort Lauderdale Generator Sizing & Load Analysis Process Works

1

Load Inventory

We document all electrical loads in your home or facility—HVAC, appliances, equipment—with their power requirements.

2

Priority Classification

We classify loads as essential (must have power), optional (nice to have), or excluded (not worth generator capacity).

3

Starting Load Calculations

Motors (AC compressors, well pumps) draw 3-6x running current when starting. We calculate peak starting loads to size appropriately.

4

Load Sequencing

For larger systems, sequencing starts can reduce required generator size. We assess whether load management makes sense.

5

Size Recommendation

We recommend generator capacity with appropriate safety margin, explain tradeoffs, and discuss fuel type and brand options.

Why It Matters

Generator Sizing & Load Analysis Benefits for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners

Right-Sized Investment

Don't pay for capacity you won't use. Don't suffer with undersized backup. Professional sizing matches generator to actual needs.

Reliable Operation

Properly sized generators run within their capacity, providing reliable power without overloading or struggling.

Fuel Efficiency

Oversized generators running at low load waste fuel and may not operate properly. Right-sizing improves efficiency.

Future-Ready

We factor in planned additions—EV charger, pool pump, home addition—so your generator works today and tomorrow.

Common Questions

Common Generator Sizing & Load Analysis Questions from Fort Lauderdale Homeowners

We inventory all loads requiring backup, determine their running power (watts), calculate starting power for motors (3-6x running), account for future additions, and add safety margin. The result is minimum recommended capacity.
It varies widely. A small home backing up only essentials (refrigerator, some lights, outlets) might need 10-12 kW. Running central AC typically requires 18-24 kW or larger. Whole-house backup for larger homes may need 30-48 kW. Load analysis determines your specific needs.
Yes, with adequate sizing. A 3-ton AC needs roughly 3-4 kW running but 8-12 kW to start. The generator must handle starting surge plus other running loads. We calculate whether your AC can run with other priorities.
Running watts are continuous load when equipment operates. Starting watts are the brief surge when motors start—typically 3-6x running watts. Generators must handle peak starting loads plus running loads of already-operating equipment.
If you're planning additions—EV charger, pool, expanding your home—sizing for future loads costs less than upgrading later. We help you plan appropriate capacity for both current and planned needs.
Strategic load selection can significantly reduce required size. Perhaps you back up a window AC unit instead of central, or prioritize refrigerator and lights while skipping high-draw items. We help you prioritize effectively.

Generator Sizing & Load Analysis in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County SOLVING LOCAL ELECTRICAL CHALLENGES IN FORT LAUDERDALE

Undersized generators can't handle your loads. Oversized generators waste money. Solomon Electric provides professional generator sizing throughout Broward and Broward counties—calculating exactly what capacity your home or business needs for reliable backup power. Our licensed electricians perform a complete load calculation before any panel work, ensuring your new panel meets current NEC requirements and has room for future expansion. We use copper bus bars, properly torqued connections, and AFCI/GFCI breakers where required by Florida Building Code.

Right-Size Your Generator Investment in Fort Lauderdale SOLVING LOCAL ELECTRICAL CHALLENGES IN FORT LAUDERDALE

Don't guess at generator size. Professional load analysis inventories your essential loads, calculates motor starting requirements, and recommends appropriate capacity with safety margin. Know exactly what you need before investing thousands in backup power. Fort Lauderdale and Broward County's heat and humidity accelerate corrosion inside electrical panels. We inspect for oxidized bus bars, loose connections, and thermal damage that compromise safety. Every panel we install includes proper weather sealing rated for coastal environments.

Our electricians provide documented before-and-after reports that satisfy insurance requirements, and we coordinate directly with your insurer when needed.
