Although it may be considered a residence, if the property has multiple buildings, (outside kitchens, basketball courts, tennis courts, arenas, barns, swimming pool, spa, additional garages, etc.) the proper size unit should be carefully selected. If an under-sized standby power unit is installed, this can put an unnecessary strain on the unit and will affect the effectiveness.
On the other hand, it is also not effective to be over-sized for the property. Over-powering the residential electrical panel and wiring could cause damage and possibly a fire. The risk of such damage is not always immediately known. When the power grid goes down and the generator engages, the surge from a unit that is over-sized can weaken the system a little bit more every time it cycles.
Store bought gasoline generators should not be connected directly to the electrical panel of a residence or business. The circuit breakers are all different sizes and capacities. Some may easily overload causing irreparable damage to the breakers and/or the electrical lines in the walls.
