How does a Generac home backup generator work?

A Generac home backup generator senses a power outage, turns on automatically, and delivers backup power to your home. It will run until utility power returns – whether that’s in two hours or two weeks.

A Generac home backup generator is permanently installed to help automatically protect your home in the event of a power outage. The equipment sits outside of your home, much like your central air conditioning unit. It runs on natural gas or liquid propane fuel and delivers power directly to your home’s electrical system. This helps ensure that your entire home or just the most essential systems are backed up during a power outage. With a Genearac home backup generator, you don’t have to worry about going outdoors to start or stop the generator. The Generac home backup generator operates automatically, even while you are away. You’ll also never have to worry about refueling your generator as the Generac home backup generator runs on your home’s existing LP fuel or natural gas supply. Overall, this generator makes the process simple and hassle-free

Mobile Link™ remote monitoring FREE with every guardian series home standby Generac generator

Allows you to monitor the status of your generator from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Easily access information, such as the current operating status and maintenance alerts. With Mobile Link, you are taken care of before the next power outage.

Automatic operation

Don’t worry about having to be there to start and turn off your Generac home backup generator because it does that automatically–whether you’re home or away.

Refueling not necessary

Your Generac home backup generator runs on your existing natural gas or LP fuel supply. Save the gas cans for your other outdoor power equipment.

Power directly to your home
