16kW to 17kW Generators for Home Backup

16 kW-17kW Generators

When the Power Goes Out, a 17kW or 16kW Standby Generator restores power to a home within seconds. The house stays comfortable with air conditioning or heat. The fridge and freezer stay cold. Sump pumps keep the basement dry. All the essentials and conveniences of everyday life continue to work—even when you’re not home.

Unlike portable generators, 16 kW and 17kW generators for homes don’t require refueling several times a day. No setup before use or fuel to store. They automatically start and run in any weather: at the peak of a hurricane, severe thunderstorm, blizzard, or ice storm. The system isolates the utility, and switches to generator power.

In less than a minute, the Home Generator System restores power and keeps running until the utility service returns.

16kW – 17kW Standby Generator

Automatic Backup Power for an entire house or critical essentials. A 16kW Standby Generator works on natural gas or propane. It can run air conditioning, furnace, pumps, lights, appliances, and conveniences. Power management allows a smaller, less expensive and more fuel-efficient generator to control heavy loads and prevent overloads.

Manufacturers design a 17kW standby generator to power a house during an outage until the utility restores power. Portable generators lack automatic operation and features designed for backup power. Portables require more maintenance and frequent refueling, and the engines were not designed to run 24/7 for days, weeks, or more than a month. Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina left some utility customers in the dark for weeks.

16kW and 17kW Generators

Powered by natural gas or propane, a 16 kW generator won’t run out of fuel every few hours. No need to refuel or find an open gas station to buy more fuel. The natural gas line supplies all the fuel required for as long as it's needed. Propane users with the right size tank can run for a week or two before they need fuel.

The home generator installs as close as 18 inches to the house. They fit into landscaping, make the same or less noise than a central air conditioner, and provide years of reliable service. Remote monitoring helps you track and schedule maintenance and can notify your service dealer when it’s time to change the oil.

Power outages are times of uncertainty. A 17kW Generator restores electric power to the home. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with all the electrical power for necessities and conveniences that help you enjoy life.
