Generac home backup generators are tailored to operate efficiently on a singular type of fuel. Originally configured for natural gas, they offer the flexibility to be reconfigured upon installation and function just as effectively using liquid propane instead.
When it comes to a power outage, opting for an automatic backup generator over a portable one can bring forth a multitude of benefits.
- Investing in a permanent backup generator, as advised by the American Red Cross, is a wise move for safeguarding your home against power outages.
- Unlike portable generators that pose an elevated risk of fatal carbon monoxide poisoning due to their exhaust emissions, an automatic backup generator installed outdoors provides reliable and safer power supply round-the-clock.
- Prioritizing safety by opting for permanent installation over portability can save lives and bring peace of mind during emergencies.
- Running on the home’s natural gas or LP fuel supply, it is less expensive to run than gasoline and sources such as natural gas do not need to be refilled.
- Picture this: the moment a power outage hits, your backup generator springs into action without you even lifting a finger. No more lugging heavy equipment outside or tripping over tangled cords inside your home. Say goodbye to those inconveniences and embrace the peace of mind that comes with automatic power restoration within seconds!
Basically, Generac generators have a safety feature that kicks in if there’s too much power being used. If this happens, the generator will stop working until you fix the problem and reset it. Check out your manual or give us a shoutContact Us if you need help!
