Generac Standby Whole Home Generators
Reliable Backup Power When You Need It Most
Power outages are becoming more common across Colorado — from winter storms and high winds to wildfire-related shutoffs and grid strain. For homeowners who want true peace of mind, a Generac standby whole home generator offers a reliable, automatic backup power solution that keeps life running uninterrupted.
What Is a Generac Standby Whole Home Generator?
A Generac standby generator is a permanently installed backup power system designed to automatically supply electricity to your home during an outage. Unlike portable generators, it turns on within seconds of a power loss and can power your entire home — even when you’re away.
These systems are connected directly to your electrical panel and run on natural gas or propane, allowing for long-duration operation without manual refueling.
Why Homeowners Choose Generac Generators
Generac is the industry leader in residential backup power, trusted by millions of homeowners nationwide. Key benefits include:
-
Automatic Operation – No setup, no extension cords, no manual switching
-
Whole-Home Coverage – Power HVAC, appliances, lighting, and essential systems
-
Reliable Fuel Source – Runs on utility gas or propane
-
Smart Monitoring – Track system status from your phone
-
Engineered for Long Outages – Built to run for days or weeks if needed
For homeowners who value reliability and safety, a whole-house generator is the most dependable solution available.
Whole Home Generator vs. Portable Generator
While portable generators may seem appealing at first, they come with limitations and safety concerns. A whole home generator provides a fully automated, code-compliant solution that eliminates the need for manual operation, fuel storage, and temporary wiring.
If you want backup power you never have to think about, a standby generator is the clear choice.
Is a Whole Home Generator Worth It?
A whole home generator is ideal if you:
-
Experience frequent or extended outages
-
Work from home
-
Have medical equipment or critical loads
-
Want uninterrupted heating and cooling
-
Own a larger home or rural property
Beyond convenience, many homeowners see a generator as a long-term investment in safety, comfort, and home value.
Professional Installation Matters
Proper sizing, permitting, fuel connections, and electrical integration are critical for a safe and reliable generator system. Working with an experienced installer ensures your Generac generator performs exactly as intended when the power goes out.
