what powers a generac generator

Generac generators are designed to provide backup power to homes, commercial, and industrial applications during power outages. The generators are powered by an engine that is connected to a generating unit, usually referred to as an alternator. The engine is fueled by natural gas, liquid propane (LP), or diesel fuel. Generac home backup generators are designed to run on one fuel source, and they are factory set to run on natural gas. However, at the time of installation, they can be converted to run on LP. The generator senses a power outage and turns on automatically, delivering backup power to the home. It will run until utility power returns, whether thats two hours or two weeks. The automatic transfer switch sends generator power to the homes electrical system, backing up the entire home or just the most essential items. Generac offers a wide range of home backup generators that run on natural gas, propane, or diesel fuel, and they are preferred by 8 out of every 10 homeowners who invest in home backup power.
