Prepared for the Next Power Outage 

Prepare for the next power outage with the #1 selling brand of home standby generators

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. A home backup generator delivers power directly to your home’s electrical system, backing up your entire home or just the most essential items.

Generac created the home backup generator category. Today, our generators are preferred by most homeowners who invest in home backup power.
