Getting generator sizing right means matching power output to your actual needs, not just guessing. You start by listing everything you want to run, noting starting vs running watts—motors like pumps and fridges need a big surge. Add up the running watts and the single largest starting watt, then throw in a 20% safety margin. It's better to slightly oversize than to constantly trip a breaker, but too big wastes fuel and runs inefficiently.
