Initial setup is easy. The generator arrives pre-wired and equipped with the necessary installation gear: a 16-circuit transfer switch (NEMA 1, indoor-rated only), pre-wired conduits, an outdoor connection box, a flexible fuel line pigtail, and a composite mounting pad. (Additional items and tools may be needed to complete the installation to meet local codes. Consult a licensed professional for further details.)
The unit can be programmed to perform a weekly exercise at the time of your choice, so it will be ready for continuous and reliable operation on a moment's notice. For convenience, it also offers clear, digital controls, an at-a-glance status indicator, and an external GFCI outlet to accomodate your outdoor power needs.
Superior Technology for Secure Output, Quiet Operation, and Durability
Thanks to Generac's exclusive True Power Technology, this generator provides clean, continuous power, so sensitive electronics and microchip appliances like laptops and HVAC equipment can be operated without the worry that unexpected power surges bring. Also featuring Generac's patented Quiet-Test technology, this generator is truly neighborhood-friendly: it's self-test mode is as hushed as an idling car to ensure that your daily routine is unaffected.
The generator's corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel enclosure is protected by Generac's proprietary RhinoCoat system--a unique process that binds the paint to the metal surface for a long-lasting, durable finish. This allows the generator to sit outdoors and withstand harsh weather conditions without developing an unsightly appearance.
Like all Generac generators, this model is UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listed for safety.
Rugged, Worry-Free Design
The generator features the 992cc Generac OHVI® Engine, an exclusive air-cooled generator engine with a high-performance design that can accommodate large electrical loads. The engine optimizes power to respond swiftly to changing conditions. To add to your peace of mind, the engine requires routine maintenance only once every two years, or after 200 hours of use.
This Generac generator meets CARB requirements. It requires a Group 26R 12-volt minimum 525 CCA battery (sold separately).

16kw NG,

This review is from: Generac Guardian Series 5504 17,000 Watt Air Cooled Propane/Natural Gas Powered Home Automatic Standby Generator With Transfer Switch (CARB Compliant) (Lawn & Patio)
We had our house built in 2007 & I received a great deal of ribbing from family (including wife) & friends for spending the money to get the electrician to wire for the backup generator and for spending $3,000 on the generator. Within the first 6 months our area lost power in one of the worst ice storms in Oklahoma history. I got up the morning of the ice storm and was not aware that power had been lost. I noticed that the oven clock wasn't on, and that was the only indication. While we were watching TV and surfing the internet & making coffee (generally just living our lives) our neighbors were lighting candles and sleeping in their living rooms next to the fireplace to stay warm. We did have to have the electrician come out to get power to our septic system, but other than that, the generator did exactly what it was supposed to do. That time the power to the area was off for 9-12 days and our generator ran 24 hours a day. We have had numerous blackouts for shorter periods of time since then. In changing the oil & filter, the oil looked exactly like I had just poured it in the generator (clear w/no blackness at all). My wife and I both say that in addition to a burglar alarm, a backup generator is one of the things that we will always have in our home, wherever we are.

Does What it Promises,
By a reader (St Paul, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Generac Guardian Series 5504 17,000 Watt Air Cooled Propane/Natural Gas Powered Home Automatic Standby Generator With Transfer Switch (CARB Compliant) (Lawn & Patio)
We have had our 17kw Generac for 2-3 years, and it faithfully runs when it is needed. It does run for 10-15 minutes once a month as a self-test etc, and regular maintenance checks are required (no more than 1x year). Provides wonderful peace of mind.

Emergency Blessing,

This review is from: Generac Guardian Series 5504 17,000 Watt Air Cooled Propane/Natural Gas Powered Home Automatic Standby Generator With Transfer Switch (CARB Compliant) (Lawn & Patio)
We own a standby Guardian generator and are very happy with the product. Living in a wooded area, we lose power often during wind and rain storms. In the event of an outtage, the lights go dark for approx 30 seconds and then LIGHTS! We have septic & well, and a small child so for us this was a necessity.
