Whole-Home Backup Generators

Be Prepared With a Generac Backup Generator

When the power goes out, is your home prepared? Most homes are OK with a short outage of an hour or two, but what if a blizzard or tornado takes down a major power line for several days? What do you depend on that you couldn't live without?

• Heating equipment
• Medical equipment
• Refrigerators/freezers
• Lights

A prolonged power outage can be expensive if you have to throw out spoiled food, and it can be dangerous when you or a loved one counts on an oxygen machine, CPAP unit, or other medical device.

Backup Generators — The Nuts and Bolts

• Backup generators are available in natural gas and liquid propane models.
• The unit sits outside (often near the air conditioner). Never run a generator in an enclosed space or indoors.
• The unit exhaust should point away from any windows or doors.
