If you live in an area with frequent power outages, like hurricanes, windstorms, or winter storms, you know how frustrating it can be to lose power for hours, days, even weeks at a time. Even worse, there is a hidden cost associated with power outages that, over time, can make it more costly NOT to have a true standby generator.
And, it’s all automatic. No fumbling in the dark to hook anything up, locate a transfer switch, or fill it up with gas. The power goes out, the standby generator comes on. In seconds. It really is that simple.
For your home, or your business, there really is no better brand generator than Generac, and the Guardian Series 5875 standby generator is one of the best choices you can make.
The Generac Guardian 5875 offers you:
- Convenient, hands-free operation.
- No manual start, this model includes a 200 Amp automatic transfer switch. When the lights go out, it starts within seconds, even when you’re not home!
- No worries about constant refueling. The Generac Guardian 5875 runs on natural gas or liquid propane.
- No extension cords snaking from the generator to essential appliances. The Guardian 5875 hooks directly into the power source for your home, so you’ll never have to deal with those orange heavy duty cords snaking through the house again.
- The clean, smooth True Power technology provides safe operation of sensitive electronics.
- Patented Quiet-Test low speed exercise mode, so quiet you’ll barely notice it.
- 20,000 Rated Watts, or enough electricity to power your whole house comfortably.
- 999cc Generac OHVI® Engine, an exclusive air-cooled generator engine with a high-performance design to accommodate large electrical loads. The engine optimizes power to respond swiftly to changing conditions. The engine requires routine maintenance ONLY once every two years, or after 200 hours of use. (The maintenance kit is currently less than $20.00, and is available here.)
- CARB Compliant. Requires a Group 26R 12-volt minimum 525 CCA battery (sold separately).
- The clear, digital controls include an at-a-glance status indicator and an external GFCI outlet to accomodate your outdoor power needs.
And, the initial setup is easy. The Generac Guardian 5875 is pre-wired and is shipped direct to you, with all of the necessary installation gear:
- 200 Amp service entrance rated transfer switch
- Outdoor connection box
- Flexible fuel line pigtail
- Composite mounting pad.
(Additional items and tools may be needed to complete the installation to meet local codes. Consult a licensed professional for further details.)
It’s important to note that this generator requires installation by a licensed professional, who will need to make sure that installation meets local codes and/or local HOA guidelines. This is not a do-it-yourself project, but it is a project that you’ll be glad you paid to have done correctly.
And, once your Generac Guardian 5875 is installed, you can program it to perform a weekly self-test. That way, it’s ready to kick in on a moment’s notice, and it will continue to provide the reliable, continuous service for years to come.
