Power Through Any Storm: Generac Generators for Reliable Backup

When the power goes out, the last thing you want is to be left in the dark. Generac generators offer the reliable backup power you need to keep your home safe, comfortable, and fully operational during storm season. Whether you're looking for a standby generator, a transfer switch, or both, Generac's lineup of products provides peace of mind, knowing you’ll stay powered no matter what nature throws your way.

Power outages are never convenient. Whether from storms, grid issues, or equipment faults, the last thing you want is for your home to be left in the dark. The Generac 22 kW standby generator gives peace of mind by automatically taking over when the power goes out.

This model is built for residential use, single-phase, 240 VAC. It’s rated at 19.5 kW when using natural gas and 22 kW on liquid propane, making it a solid choice for a full home backup solution. The 999 cc engine, aluminum enclosure, and automatic starter make it a robust option for homes in Western Canada where reliable standby power matters.

• Single-phase, 240 VAC—fits most residential setups.
• Fuel flexibility: natural gas (NG) or liquid propane (LP).
• 22 kW LP / 19.5 kW NG output—enough for major loads (HVAC, appliances, lighting).
• Engine size: 999 cc.
• Aluminium weather-resistant enclosure; 48″ length × 25″ width × 44″ height (121.9 cm × 63.5 cm × 111.7 cm).
• Installed amperage rating: 100 A.
• Part of the Guardian™ series from Generac.

In our region—where weather can change quickly and power reliability is a real concern—having automatic standby power is more than luxury; it’s smart planning. For homeowners in rural areas, semi-remote locations, or locations served by older utility infrastructure, the Generac 22 kW model offers:

• Automatic operation: It senses a loss of utility power and switches over without manual intervention.
• Fuel type versatility: With LP or NG capability, you can work with what’s available.
• Sufficient capacity to keep home systems running (furnace/boiler, sump pump, lighting, kitchen appliances) during an outage.
• A trusted brand backing and local availability through EB Horsman & Son.

Alongside your standby generator, a transfer switch is an essential component to ensure your home’s electrical systems are properly connected to the backup power source. Generac’s transfer switches ensure that your generator and home systems communicate efficiently, providing a smooth transition from utility power to generator power.

Generac's transfer switch features a NEMA 3R steel enclosure and a Heavy Duty Generac Contactor, making it ideal for use with single-phase generators. With integrated load management technology, it can manage up to four individual HVAC loads, eliminating the need for additional accessories.

• Intelligent Load Management: Manage up to four HVAC loads with no extra hardware required, enhancing system efficiency and reducing the generator size needed to safeguard your home.
• NEMA 3R Outdoor Rated Enclosure: Designed for flexible installation options, this enclosure protects against rain, snow, ice, and debris, ensuring the internal components of the switch remain safe in any environment.
