How Does a Generac Generator Work

Did you know the average American loses power for about 1.7 hours yearly? Well, I’ve got a Generac, and honestly, it’s quiet—like, 65-67 dB—kicking in automatically when the lights go out. It’s smooth, no fuss. Actually, I was surprised how seamless it is compared to my old backup. I’d love to tell you more about the warranty coverage details next.

3 Tips for Ensuring a Quiet Generator

1. Position the generator at least 20 feet away from bedrooms, factoring in wind direction to minimize noise transfer.
2. Install a high-quality muffler—avoid budget options that compromise effectiveness.
3. Place the generator on a thick rubber mat to suppress vibration-related noise.
