Home backup power, comfort, security, and convenience — the #1 selling brand of home backup generators, installed locally.
Generac · Standby Home
Never run an extension cord through a window again.
A permanently installed Generac home backup generator protects your home automatically. It runs on natural gas or liquid propane (LP) fuel and sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit, delivering power directly to your home's electrical system — your whole house, or just the essentials.
Now comes with free Mobile Link™, letting you monitor your generator's status from a phone, tablet, or computer, anywhere in the world.
- Generac created the home backup generator category — 8 out of 10 homeowners who invest in home backup power choose it
- Power delivered directly to your home's electrical panel, no extension cords needed
- Mobile Link™ remote monitoring free with every Guardian & NextGen Series system — operating status and maintenance alerts from anywhere
- Fully automatic operation — starts and stops on its own whether you're home or away
- Runs on your existing natural gas or LP fuel supply, so refueling isn't necessary
Installation
What's involved in installing a home backup generator.
Installing a home backup generator is an exciting time. Your installer prepares the site outside your home, places the generator, runs the natural gas or LP fuel line, installs the transfer switch, and makes all the necessary electrical connections — then makes sure it runs properly and is ready for its first power outage.
