Every year we put more stress on the nation’s power grid. And every year we see power outages with complex consequences. Homeowners are turning to standby generator sets as a worry-free solution to unpredictable utilities.

ESSE offers a full line of Generac residential generator systems ranging from 7kW up to 22kW in output. Permanently installed outside your home (similar to a central air unit and complete with a transfer switch in many cases), a Generac residential unit is connected directly to the home’s utility. In the event of disruption of electrical service, a Generac residential generator is designed to start up within seconds, and a transfer switch automatically provides power to the electrical system of the home.There are on some occasions also commercial units that are also ideal for large residential needs.

Residential Generator

We recommend that, in selecting a standby generator, the homeowner determines whether to back-up the entire house load or specific circuits and select a genset with appropriate kilowatt output. It is important to know the output needs of your home to be able to choose the correct unit to keep your home protected.

With the introduction of the EcoGen 6 kW, Generac is able to offer the only automatic standby generator engineered specifically for off-grid use. It eliminates virtually all of the issues previously associated with alternative energy backup power options, including high fuel consumption, noise, and short product life. Instead, the EcoGen 6 kW is the answer for consumers needing affordable, reliable, low emmission, off-grid standby power.

  • Built specifically for this application, it is the first automatic standby generator to be warranted for off-grid use when used in an alternative energy system.
  • Engineered to easily integrate into the existing inverter and battery storage system.
  • Runs on environmentally friendly, energy-efficient propane gas that is already stored and available at many off-grid locations.
  • Features Generac’s own V-Twin OHVI® industrial engine, the only engine developed specifically for generator use. The low speed makes it the quietest in the industry, with noise and vibration levels drastically less than comparable solutions.
  • Simplified maintenance with unprecedented 500 hour maintenance intervals saves time and money.
