When the grid fails, your home doesn’t have to. The Generac 26kW Home Standby Generator is a permanently installed backup power system that automatically detects a utility outage and restores power through a compatible automatic transfer switch helping keep essential circuits and comfort systems running (HVAC blowers, sump pumps, refrigeration, internet, lighting, and more).
This next-generation platform pairs Generac’s G-Force™ 1000 Series engine with the Power Zone™ 200 controller and Mobile Link® connectivity (cellular standard, plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) so you can monitor readiness, receive alerts, and stay confident your backup system is prepared.
Automatic start and transfer during power failures (with programmable start delay to help prevent nuisance start-ups).
Flexible exercise scheduling (weekly/bi-weekly/monthly) with adjustable exercise duration.
True Power™ Electrical Technology provides <5% THD, delivering utility-quality power suitable for microchip-based electronics and many modern appliances.
Sound-attenuated, weather-protective enclosure engineered to withstand winds up to 150 mph (241 km/h).
Hinged, key-locking roof panel and lift-out front for convenient access to routine maintenance.
Mobile Link® enables real-time status, maintenance alerts, readiness checks, run hours, and diagnostics—plus the ability to connect with an authorized service provider for proactive support.
Cellular connectivity standard, plus Wi-Fi™ and Bluetooth™
