Generac, founded in 1959, has been a pioneer in the power supply business. The Generac guys make generators. Generators of all types: industrial, RV-oriented, residential standby generators and portable generators. The power supplies provided by Generac are backed by the 50 years expertise that the company has accumulated. The total power supply capacity of Generac ranges from 2 to 9000 Kilowatts; the portables being in the range of 17,500 watts.
So, what are the innovations that have made Generac Inc. the leaders in generator business? From the very beginning the company has directed its innovations and achievements to make generators that are more and more user-friendly and more efficient. In fact from the very beginning of establishing the company by Robert Kern in Waukesha, Wisconsin; there has been a steady series of innovations that have helped the company to grow to what it is today.
Way back in 1959, the company applied the most contemporary technology of silicon diodes to their generators. In the 80's the company pioneered to apply the transfer switch technology to the generators. In the 90's, Generac incorporated a new OHVI (Overheated Valve Industrial) engine technology in the gensets manufactured by them.
More recent technological advances like creation of a modular power system and bi-fuel generators have also added to the company's value. The modular power system lets the user to digitally control the load-sharing and paralleling of the generator circuit. Bi-fuel generators can run both on diesel and natural gas. Also, Generac's commitment to the home safety is evident from its being a supporter of the Home Safety Council and earning the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal in 2009. At present Generac is owned by CCMP capital.
Generac Inc. provides the consumers with the most comprehensive service while purchasing a portable generator. Firstly, the consumer is provided with a wattage-chart to help determine the total wattage that the consumer is talking about. Determining the total wattage value of a generator is important because Portable Generators should never be overloaded to avoid serious electrical, chemical and fire hazards. The wattage-chart is subdivided into several convenient sub-headings like home, outdoors, emergency, construction, heating and cooling etc.
Secondly, the company provides effective answers and solutions to a series of portable generator-queries in order to help the consumers in their choice. The assistance ranges to all the fields of a generator maintenance, from the total power supply to the type of fuel to be used. Generac repeatedly warns the customers NEVER to run a generator indoors (to protect from carbon monoxide poisoning) and always in a well-ventilated space. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas that is extremely poisonous gas and can prove fatal within minutes.
Thirdly, Generac has got a long line-up of its 'rugged' and 'dependable' portable generators belonging to four different series. Each of the GP, XG, XP and iX series of generators has their own distinct specifications. Generac offers professional advice to the consumers to help the make their choice among the many generators.
