About Generac 24kW Generator



Choosing the Right Size for Your Home


Not every home needs the same amount of power. While a 24kW unit is the "Ultimate backup power solution" for larger homes or farms with multiple freezers and heavy appliances, many homeowners can maintain their comfort with a smaller unit. We help you calculate the exact wattage needed for your specific furnace, AC, and essential appliances to ensure you don’t overpay for power you won't use.

Propane vs. Natural Gas: What You Need to Know


Your fuel source affects your generator's output. For example, a Generac 24kW unit provides its full capacity on Liquid Propane (LP), but will typically output around 21,000 Watts on Natural Gas. Our team ensures your system is tuned correctly for your specific fuel source to maximize efficiency..

Quiet, Seamless Protection


Modern standby generators are designed to be "mindless systems". They are surprisingly quiet—running at roughly 57 dB, which sounds like a faint hum from inside the house. With a professional Smart Switch installation, the system senses a power loss, warms up, and restores power to your home automatically, so you don't have to lift a finger.

Smart Monitoring with Mobile Link™


Stay connected to your home’s protection even when you're traveling. Using the Mobile Link app, you can check your generator’s status (Green for ready, Amber for service), view battery voltage, and even see a history of "exercise" runs to ensure the system is always ready for the next storm.

Generator FAQs



How big of a generator do I need for my home?


Most homes in Central Ohio need between 14kW and 24kW depending on what you want to power. We size your system using a load calculation based on your HVAC specs, appliances, and must-run circuits.

Propane vs natural gas — which is better in Ohio?


Natural gas is convenient where available and can run as long as utility service is available. Propane works anywhere but runtime depends on tank size and fuel level. We’ll recommend the best option based on your home and location.

How often does a standby generator run an exercise cycle?


Most standby generators automatically run a short exercise cycle weekly (schedule may be adjustable). This helps keep the system ready and confirms it’s operating properly.

How loud is a standby generator?


Modern standby generators are designed to run quietly, but sound depends on unit size and placement. We help choose a code-compliant location that also minimizes noise.

Do I need a permit in Columbus / my city?


In most Central Ohio cities, generator installations require permits and inspections (typically electrical, and sometimes gas). Requirements vary by municipality, and we help handle the process.

How long can it run during an outage?


It can run as long as it has fuel and is operating normally. Natural gas may run continuously depending on utility service. Propane runtime depends on tank size and the amount of power your home is using.
