Standby Power Generators

Standby Power Generators

When storms, equipment failure or an overworked power grid cause an outage, a Generac home standby generator automatically restores power to help your life continue uninterrupted.Generac generators offer dependable backup power, helping your home stay comfortable and secure during unexpected outages.

Your home standby generator is installed outside your home like a central A/C unit and runs on natural gas or liquid propane (LP), depending on what fuel source is available. All home standby solutions are designed to keep you safe, secure and comfortable in an outage.

Key Factors to Consider:

  • Power Needs: Consider what you need to keep running during an outage (fridge, lights, heating, etc.).
  • Fuel Options: Natural gas or propane generators are convenient for homes with existing fuel lines.

When the power from your utility company goes out, the standby power generator automatically turns on, whether you're home or not, and automatically shuts off when power is restored.
