Generators
Never feel powerless with an automatic standby generator!
In addition to the loss of lighting, a power outage could result in the loss of heating or air conditioning. At any time of year, food left in refrigerators or freezers without power is likely to spoil. These are significant issues with expensive consequences. Fortunately, they can be avoided. As the #1 selling residential standby generator, Generac's Guardian automatic generators provide peace of mind for your home or business.
Decide what items are important to you in a power outage. These items are powered through circuits in your breaker box. The number of chosen circuits determines your generator size. Use this chart as a guide to determine the power you need.
