Whether you’re at home, at work, or away on vacation, your home stays protected without any manual effort.
No Refueling Required
Your Generac generator runs on your home’s existing natural gas or liquid propane (LP) supply, so there’s no need to store, refill, or handle fuel. No gas cans, no trips to the station just a reliable, continuous fuel source that keeps your system ready whenever you need it.
Whole-Home Power Delivery
Forget extension cords, portable generators, or temporary setups. Your Generac standby system safely delivers power directly to your home’s electrical panel, keeping your essential systems like heating, cooling, refrigeration, sump pumps, and lighting running smoothly during any outage.
Signs Your Generac Generator May Need Repair
Even a reliable system like Generac needs attention from time to time. Because your generator is responsible for powering your home during outages, early detection of issues is critical.
Watch for these warning signs that your generator may need service:
- Difficulty starting or failure to start during outages
- Unusual noises such as knocking, grinding, or rattling
- Frequent power surges or unstable power output
- Warning lights or error messages on the control panel
- Fuel leaks or the smell of fuel near the unit
- Excessive smoke or visible exhaust issues
- Sudden drop in performance or inability to carry load
Generators rely on a combination of electrical, fuel, and mechanical systems working together. If even one component begins to fail, your backup power system may not perform when you need it most. Addressing small issues early helps prevent costly repairs and ensures your generator is always ready for the next Southeastern Wisconsin storm.
