Generac Whole Home Standby Generators — Protecting What Matters Most.
Never Lose Power Again.
Power outages don't wait for a convenient time. Whether it's a hurricane, ice storm, or grid failure, your home and family deserve uninterrupted protection. A Generac whole home standby generator is always watching — and always ready.
What Is a Whole Home Standby Generator?
A Generac whole home generator is a permanently installed backup power system connected directly to your home's electrical panel. The moment an outage is detected, it automatically switches on within seconds — no manual startup, no extension cords, no guesswork. Your lights stay on. Your HVAC keeps running. Life doesn't skip a beat.
Unlike portable generators that power only a few devices, a whole home standby generator keeps
everything running — air conditioning, refrigerators, medical equipment, lighting, security systems, and more.
Why Generac?
Generac is the #1 manufacturer of backup power products in the United States, with over 60 years of experience. In fact, 8 out of 10 home standby generators installed across the country are Generac. Their reputation is built on innovation, reliability, and American-made quality —engineered and assembled right here in the USA.
Key Consumer Benefits
Automatic Protection — Even When You're Away
The moment your power goes out, your Generac generator senses the outage and kicks on automatically — in just seconds. When utility power returns, it seamlessly transfers back. You don't have to be home. You don't have to do a thing.
Powers Your Entire Home
From central air conditioning and kitchen appliances to washer/dryer units and lighting — a properly sized Generac generator keeps your whole household running, not just a few essentials.
Remote Monitoring from Anywhere in the World
Every Guardian Series generator includesMobile Link™ Remote Monitoring — free. Using your smartphone, tablet, or PC, you can check your generator's status, receive maintenance alerts, and stay informed no matter where you are.
Quiet Operation
Generac's Quiet-Test™ Self-Test Mode runs the generator's weekly self-check at a lower RPM, making it significantly quieter than other brands while also using less fuel. Your neighbors won't even know it's running.
Clean Power for Sensitive Electronics
True Power™ Technology delivers less than 5% total harmonic distortion — that means safe, smooth, clean power for computers, smart TVs, medical devices, and other sensitive electronics.
Built for Every Climate
Generac's RhinoCoat™ powder-coated, all-aluminum enclosures are corrosion-resistant and built to withstand harsh weather — rain, snow, heat, and humidity — year after year.
Increases Your Home's Value
Installing a whole home generator is a smart investment. Homes with backup power systems are more attractive to buyers, particularly in storm-prone areas. It can also help your home stand out in a competitive real estate market.
Reduces Financial Risk
Power outages can mean spoiled food, frozen pipes, and costly damage. A standby generator minimizes those risks. Some homeowners also qualify for reduced insurance premiums with backup power installed.
Peace of Mind for Your Whole Family
Whether it's keeping the lights on for your children, maintaining a comfortable temperature for elderly family members, or ensuring medical equipment stays powered — a Generac generator is there when it counts the most.
