This Generac Guardian Series 6052 standby generator is ideal for power outages in all size homes, and will automatically come on when it detects a power outage. It has a steel enclosure and runs quietly to not disturb the neighborhood.
This is actually the model we are looking at for our home, and will be running it off propane land tanks in our rural, extreme weather neighborhood. The choice is based on amount of power, price and reliability of these USA made Generac standby generators.
