Home Generators 101

The Generac product line includes many different models of home backup generators, and some units will offer certain features that others won’t. Listed below are some of the most common features included with these quality devices.

• True Power Technology – With Generac’s trademarked True Power Technology, the home generators provide best-in-class power quality with less than five percent total harmonic distortion. This allows the devices to safely power all of your sensitive electronics and appliances without having to worry about anything being damaged.
• User-Friendly Controls – Generac home backup generators come equipped with smart, user-friendly controls. This includes a multilingual LCD screen, which allows you to monitor the device’s battery status and track a variety of informative statistics. That way, you always know how well your generator is performing and can easily stay on top of maintenance.
• Remote Monitoring – Every home generator in Generac’s Guardian Series features Mobile Link Remote Monitoring. This feature lets you monitor the status of your generator from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. This includes important information such as the generator’s current performance and maintenance alerts.
• Quiet Operation – You won’t need to worry about your Generac generator disturbing your home’s peace and quiet. These devices feature built-in noise reduction to keep them operating as quietly as possible.
• 5-Year Warranty – When you purchase a Generac home backup generator, it comes with a 5-year limited warranty. For the first two years, the warranty covers parts, labor, and limited travel expenses to repair or replace any defective components. For the third year, the warranty covers the cost of all parts, and for the final two years, all major components are covered.
• Durable Enclosure – Since your home backup generator will be set up outside your house, it’s important that it’s protected from the elements. That’s why every Generac generator is equipped with a durable all-aluminum enclosure with a RhinoCoat powder-coated finish. These enclosures are corrosion-proof and resistant to all weather conditions.
• Powerful Engine – Each Generac home backup generator features a powerful G-Force Engine. These purpose-built, pressure-lubricated engines offer enough reliable power to keep everything in your home functioning perfectly. These specially designed engines also require less maintenance than other comparable engines.
