Clean Power for Modern Homes

True Power™ Electrical Technology delivers less than 5% Total Harmonic Distortion, helping support many sensitive electronics, modern appliances, and microchip-based systems.
Q

Quiet-Test™ Exercise Mode

Quiet-Test™ low-speed exercise mode helps reduce sound levels during scheduled self-tests while keeping the generator ready for the next outage.

Power Zone™ 200 Controller

The Power Zone™ 200 controller provides system control, status information, maintenance reminders, smart battery charging, operating logs, and protection features.

“`

Designed for Essential Home Backup

“`
The Generac 10kW Home Standby Generator is commonly suited for homeowners who want to protect important circuits instead of powering every electrical load in the house. Depending on the home and final electrical design, a 10kW standby generator may help support items such as lighting, refrigerator, freezer, sump pump, furnace blower, internet equipment, selected receptacles, and other priority loads. Larger appliances such as central air conditioning, electric ranges, electric dryers, hot tubs, large electric water heaters, and multiple high-demand loads may require load management or a larger generator. Platinum Generator Experts can review your home’s electrical panel, fuel supply, and backup priorities to recommend the right setup.
Important sizing note:Generator sizing should always be completed by a qualified professional. Actual backup capacity depends on fuel type, connected loads, motor-starting requirements, transfer switch design, and local code requirements.
