For over 50 years, Generac has focused primarily on power generation, and we now offer more generator solutions than any other manufacturer. This heritage has helped make us the number one choice in residential automatic standby power, chosen seven to one over the closest competition in the U.S. When a customer chooses Generac, they’re not just choosing protection for their home. They are also choosing peace of mind.

Automatic backup power means you’re always covered – even if you’re not home.

Options come in liquid propane or natural gas – the direct hookup means never dealing with cords or gas cans again.

Generac’s OHVI® engine is the only engine designed specifically for extended generator use – for reliability that’s second to none.

An automatic standby generator works by monitoring utility voltage 24/7. The generator system consists of a generator and transfer switch. The generator sits outside of your home or business just like an air conditioner, while the transfer switch is located next to the main breaker box, and in some cases replaces it entirely.

• When your electricity is interrupted, the generator detects the problem and goes to work.

• The automatic transfer switch safely disconnects the utility line and transfers to generator power.

• Power is simultaneously restored within seconds.

• Once the utility is restored, the generator returns to standby mode.

It’s really that simple.

Consumers choose a Generac automatic generator not only for the proven reliability, but for the innovative features engineered with home and business owners in mind. It eliminates the gas cans and electrical cords of a portable generator in exchange for simple controls and advanced features.

Weather-Resistant EnclosureOur RhinoCoat finish system uses a process that evenly joins paint particles to every part of the metal surface. This process allows for more consistent coverage to all surfaces for exceptional protection on not only the enclosure, but also the base frame.

Utility Grade Power TruePower™ Technology provides clean, smooth power for the safe operation of sensitive electronics and appliances.

Easy ServiceabilityOur generators are engineered for easy installation and serviceability. Careful thought is given to the design so maintenance components can easily be reached.

Quiet OperationGuardian Series enclosures are lined with sound reducing foam panels for even further reduction in noise levels.

All automatic standby generators perform a weekly self-diagnostic test to validate proper operation. Quieter than the competition, only Generac’s patented, programmable Quiet-Test mode is ultra-quiet.

Foam panels reduce noise levels.

Smart, User Friendly ControlsThe controller has a user-friendly, trilingual LCD display and controls for programmable diagnostics and information at-a-glance. Sophisticated codes alert you to generator status at all times, for a truly smart generator system.

The controller tracks generator functions so you don't have to.
