Your Backup Power Solution

When looking to invest in a Stand-By Generator for your home or small business you must consider the amount of power you will be consuming at one time. Every item in the house has a Running Wattage Requirement. We at Diamond Northern have put together a common list of household items and their power requirements.

Diamond Northern's current Stand-By Generator offers 12,000 Watts of Continuous Power and 15,000 Watts of Surge Power. Keep in mind some appliances have a higher load for startup which is often called Surge Power. You must keep in mind every part of your household when calculating the load you can put onto your Generator.

Take a look over the list below to know exactly how powerful our Generator is and what you will be able to run while having a Diamond Northern Generator as your Backup Power Solution.
