Edit Your Power Requirements
In order to estimate your generator size requirement, please enter the square footage of your home, then select which appliances you would like to run during a power outage.
You may want to experiment with adding or removing significant and occasional appliances to see how it impacts the suggested generator size.
Please consider the output of this program to be an approximation. As always, the best way to determine your specific power needs is to consult your local Lennox Dealer. To find your nearest dealer, call 1-800-9-LENNOX. They will analyze the actual electrical load for your home, then specify and install the proper residential backup system. Note: Estimates are based on LP gas. Please consider the following derates for each application—Altitude: Output reduces 4% for every 1,000 ft. of elevation above 500ft. Temperature: Output reduces 1.5% for every 10 degrees over 60 degrees F.
