Description
Keep your family safe, comfortable and free from the stress that comes with power outages, by providing your home with automatic backup power when you need it most.
A perfect fit for medium and large homes*, the 17 kW1 unit so you can power all your home's electrical needs easily and automatically. Powered by our commercial-grade Vanguard™ engine and backed by one of the industry's most comprehensive 5-year parts, labor & travel limited warranty.
Managed Whole House Power
Not all appliances are powered equally. Some, such as your central air conditioner, electric clothes dryer, electric stovetop, oven, or whirlpool tub, require a large amount of power to start up or operate properly.
The Symphony® II Power Management orchestrates these high-demand appliances with lower-demand items to give you true whole-house power with a smaller, more affordable generator.
Overview
Commercial-Grade Engine
A commercial-grade Vanguard™ engine means powerful performance when it matters most.
Durable Enclosure
Designed to weather the elements, the system's enclosure is made from automotive-grade Galvanneal steel to resist rust. Its advanced powder coat paint process results in years of protection against chips and abrasions.
