Why We Recommend This System
Our installer's perspective:
- Portable generators are the practical choice for occasional outages when budget is a concern.
- Generac makes reliable, well-supported generators with parts readily available.
- For running essential loads like sump pumps and refrigerators, they work well.
- If you're not ready to invest in a standby generator, a portable gives you some protection.
When it might not be the best fit:
Portables require manual setup during outages and can't power your whole home. For automatic, whole-home protection, a standby generator is better.
Alternative: For hands-free, whole-home backup, consider the Generac Standby Generator.
