Don't live at the mercy of our Cape Cod weather. The Generac Automatic Home Standby Generator can restore power to your home to live a normal life.
Recent technology advances make these systems much more affordable than once was typical for home generators. They can run on natural or LP gas, and feature automatic startup and shutdown.
You get to choose how much of your home you wish to be able to "bring back online" after a power outage. Perhaps you wish for simply the “essentials” — heat, refrigerator, some lights and outlets — to be activated in case of a blackout. Or maybe you would like to get back to “full living” immediately. Either way, we can help you make a smart decision about which generator makes the most sense for you and your family.
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. Today’s Generac models feature electronic diagnostics for reliable operation.
1. UTILITY POWER IS LOST
Whether from a storm, a fallen utility pole, or simply one of the “Cape Cod Blackouts,” the electricity you depend on is suddenly gone.
2. YOUR GENERAC GENERATOR SENSES A PROBLEM
Within seconds, your generator prepares to restore your home's power.
3. THE GENERATOR TURNS ON - AUTOMATICALLY - WHETHER YOU'RE HOME OR AWAY
Within a few seconds, it is up to speed and generating electricity.
4. YOUR ELECTRICITY IS RESTORED
The automatic transfer switch sends generator power to your home. And it will continue until utility power returns. When that happens, the generator ceases operation—automatically.
The number of lights and appliances determines the size of generator that would be right for your home. Use the chart below as a guide:
7kW | 8kW | 10kW | 14kW | 17kW | 20kW + | |
