Real Owner Experiences
Greg & Ellen L.: "We're always one of the last neighborhoods to have our power restored. So, after that last storm... we invested in a Generac generator. We always have power now."
Jimmy M.: "The lights went out, and we had nothing. I said to myself that I was never going to live that way again. Now that we have a Generac generator, our life has become easier."
Greg Beappler: "My family's going to be safe and secure in my house because of this generator."
Steven Beck: "My business actually makes more money during a power outage... I'm the only place open!"
How a Generac Generator Works
- Utility power is lost: Due to storms, grid failures, or other causes.
- Your generator turns on. Automatically: Within seconds, your Generac generator senses the problem, turns on, and powers your house. It maintains power whether the outage lasts hours or weeks.
- Your generator turns off. Automatically: When utility power is restored, the generator shuts itself off and returns to standby mode.
Sizing a Generator is Based on Your Needs
Sizing your generator according to your specific needs, rather than just your home's square footage, prevents overspending and ensures adequate coverage. Generac offers solutions for essential circuit coverage, managed whole-house coverage, and true whole-house coverage.
How Much Power Do You Need?
- Essential Circuit Coverage: Economical solutions covering the basics, such as essential circuits like lights, furnace, water heater, refrigerator/freezer, and sump pump.
- Managed Whole-House: Power management systems gain more coverage from a smaller generator by intelligently cycling power to appliances, managing power requirements of individual appliances.
- Complete Whole-House: Covers every circuit in any size home, ensuring everything comes on and stays on without interruption.
