16kW Air-Cooled Automatic Home Standby Generator
The most powerful air-cooled automatic standby generator on the market is also the
quietest ever made! Thanks to Generac's exclusive Quite-Test feature, our 16 kW generator is as quiet as a
car idling in the driveway during the weekly self test.
With its high efficiency alternator and the largest engine in its class, the 16 kW provides
the performance of a larger liquid-cooled model for about half the price. The 16 kW has the power to provide
whole house coverage, including a 5-ton* central air conditioner, for many moderately sized homes. If you have
two 4-ton air conditioners, the 16 kW will run both units with enough power left over to cover the home's
other essential circuits.
- Breakthrough Design: Newly designed alternator can start a 5-ton* AND a 3-ton, or two 4-ton air conditioners with plenty of power to spare
- Aluminum Enclosure Option: To better withstand the elements in highly corrosive environments
- Automatic Voltage Regulator: Quality electrical output for sensitive electronics
- Electronic Governor: Fast response to changing electrical loads
- Quiet-Test: Patent-pending, self-test feature makes the 16 kW quieter than your central air conditioner
- Generac OHVI Industrial Engine: The ONLY air-cooled engine designed specifically for generators
- Longest Life Expectancy in the Industry: Over 3,000 hours of run time
- Full Pressure Lubrication: Continuous lubrication of all vital engine parts for protection from moment of start up for ultimate engine protection
- Spin-on Oil Filter: Automotive style for easy maintenance and prolonged engine life
- Superior Paint: Tough, textured powder coat paint finish for unmatched durability and all weather protection
- Clean Burning Fuel: Natural gas or LPV
- UL Listed: For safety and certified power ratings
*May not start all brands or models of central air conditioners. Make sure the surge capability (Amps) of the generator is greater than the LRA listed on the data plate of the A/C before purchasing
