South Shore Generator - Generac  Guardian Wi-Fi Enabled Standby Generator

Whole house generators can help you disconnect from the grid entirely or keep your appliances running during extended power outages or emergencies when a portable or standby generator would otherwise fail.

In order to take advantage of those benefits, it’s crucial you get the right generator for your unique situation and application. Check out our list of the best whole house generators to see which model would be the best for you to keep your home running even without a connection to the grid.

3 of the Top 5 Best Whole House Generators of 2024

#1 Generac Guardian Wi-Fi Enabled Standby Generator

As the leading home generator brand, Generac’s Guardian series generators, once again, set them apart from competition. This Wi-Fi-enabled Guardian generator allows you to monitor its status via phone or computer from anywhere in the world using the company’s MobileLink technology, all while providing 10,000 watts via liquid propane (LP) or 9,000 watts via natural gas (NG).

The generator is air-cooled, shuts down automatically in high temperatures and features an automatic transfer switch to take over powering your home the minute you lose grid-based power. Quickly and easily set up by professional installers, the Generac Guardian easily attaches to your existing LP or NG pipes and comes with a five-year limited warranty and 24/7/365 customer phone support.

#4 Generac PowerPact 7,500 Watt Standby Generator

If you have a small home or need fewer watts of power, the Generac PowerPact 7,500 Watt Standby Generator is a great option. The PowerPact includes most of the same features as Generac’s larger models while requiring the smallest footprint of those we’ve ranked.

You get what you pay for, though: this PowerPact only includes a three-year limited warranty and is one of the loudest options, measured at 69 dbA. The PowerPact includes a lightweight, indoor-rated automatic transfer switch and can power up to eight circuits of your home.

#5 Generac Guardian 3-Phase 20kW Automatic Standby Generator Wi-Fi Enabled

The Generac Guardian 3-Phase 20kW generator is one of the largest, most powerful air-cooled 3-phase generators on the market. If your home or small business needs dependable 3-phase power back-up look no further than this Generac Guardian. This generator has all the features you’ve come to love of a Generac, easy-installation, Wi-Fi control and monitoring, and durable, all-weather construction that’s built to last. With a noise level of 67 dbA, this unit’s noise is impressively low for the level of power output. The only thing missing from this package is an automatic transfer switch, which is sold separately.
