The Generac 28kW Air‑Cooled Standby Generator is the largest air-cooled standby generator available, delivering reliable whole-home backup power with one of the highest power outputs in its class. Rated at 120/240 volts and capable of supporting a 200‑amp residential electrical service when paired with a compatible transfer switch, this generator is suited for large homes with high electrical demand. Typical applications include full‑home backup for residences operating multiple HVAC systems, electric appliances, well pumps, and home offices that require consistent power during outages.
This standby generator operates on either natural gas or liquid propane and features built‑in cellular connectivity for remote monitoring through Generac Mobile Link. The air‑cooled design is paired with a G‑Force engine platform developed specifically for standby generator operation, supporting extended run times and consistent performance under varying electrical loads. Additional system features such as oil level sensing, cold‑weather starting support, and an enclosed housing help maintain generator readiness for residential backup power applications.
