Get to know the ins and outs of your home standby generator.
A home standby generator is a backup power source that operates whether you are home or away.
Within seconds of sensing an outage the generator will automatically kick on and supply power to your home.
After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage.
It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.
Refueling Not Necessary- Your Generac home backup generator runs on your existing natural gas or LP fuel supply.
The backup generator is designed as a backup to utility power only and should not be used as a primary power source.
There are many factors that impact the generator sizing and power needs for your home. An authorized Generac dealer can best determine which home standby generator will be best for your home, and you can request a free quote, which includes sizing options and price.
The generators average between 65 to 67 decibels depending on the model. This is a similar sound level as a central air conditioning unit.
Our Generac home standby generators are designed to run on one fuel source, either natural gas or liquid propane.
Generac’s generators are considered CARB compliant and able to be installed in areas with strict emissions requirements. Your local dealer will determine which generator is best for your needs. Additional details on Generac’s environmental impact can be found at generac.com .
