During a power outage, an automatic generator offers these advantages over a portable generator:

• Safer way to provide backup power to a home.

• Portable generators can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Automatic do not.

• Natural gas or propane are much cheaper than gasoline, so you spend less by using an automatic generator.

• Their automatic start prevents you from having to find and start your portable generator. Instead, you'll have power again within 15 seconds.

• They turn on whether you're home or away, so you'll never have to worry about a power outage while you're away.

Air-cooled generators have engines that use fans to push air across the engine to cool it, while their liquid-cooled counterparts use a radiator system for cooling, much like a car.

Typically, liquid-cooling engines are used on larger units because of their higher energy output.

Aluminum enclosures. Aluminum is naturally resistant to rusting or corroding, which ensures a much longer lifespan. 

Any machine will require regular oil and filter changes in order to keep them running effectively and lasting as long as possible. We recommend performing routine maintenance every six months.

Generac™ generators always come with overload protection, although these events are typically very rare. The overload protection causes the circuit breaker to trip during an overload, which disconnects the unit from the load.
