Outages and What You Can Do

Power outages are on the rise. The power grid is aging and becoming less reliable. Protect your home and investments by learning what you can do to prepare for power loss.

Heat
Heatwaves are Australia's deadliest natural hazard. And the heat is here to stay. Climate change has impacted the continent in many ways. Reduced rainfall, increased bushfires, and rising temperatures in the barrier reef have been some of the biggest effects of climate change. Dry climate paired with warmer temperatures causes bushfires to arrive earlier than normal and thrive longer. And the increase in water temperature of the barrier reef is causing the once beautiful colors to fade.

Cyclones
Cyclone season is from November 1st to April 30th.

Most cyclones have a life span of 3-7 days while some can be sustained for weeks in the right environment. Cyclones can cause flooding, and damage many homes and buildings in their wake.

How can Generac Help?
Prepare for the next heatwave or cyclone with a home standby generator. A home standby generator can keep your lights and air con running when utility power fails. Trust in Generac to keep you and your loved ones safe and cool from heat and storms.

Home Backup Generators. Effortless Protection.

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 an air con. An auto-start home backup generator delivers power directly to your home’s electrical system during a power outage, backing up your entire home or just the most essential items. How it works

Automatic Operation
Don't worry about having to be there to start and stop your Generac home backup generator. Because it does that automatically. It will run until utility power returns - whether that's two minutes or two weeks.

Convenient Buying Process and Installation
Buying a generator is a big decision. That's why we offer a free and convenient home assessment. You can discuss your needs and concerns with the dealer, as well as pricing and financing options.
