A permanently installed Generac commercial standby generator protects your business automatically. It runs on natural gas or liquid propane (LP) fuel and is installed outside your facility, similar to an HVAC unit. A commercial standby generator delivers power directly to your building’s electrical system, supporting your entire operation or just critical systems such as security, refrigeration, lighting, and essential equipment. Now equipped with FREE Mobile Link™, you can monitor the status of your generator remotely from a phone, tablet, or computer — ensuring you're always connected to your business’s power, no matter where you are.
Generac pioneered the commercial standby generator category. Today, our generators are trusted by more businesses than any other brand for reliable backup power.
You’ll never have to rely on temporary solutions or unsafe workarounds again. Your Generac commercial standby generator delivers power safely and automatically to your facility’s electrical panel, keeping critical operations running without interruption.
GET STARTEDA Generac automatic commercial standby generator is a permanently installed backup power solution designed to protect your business during power outages. Unlike portable generators, it’s connected directly to your facility’s electrical system and powered by your existing natural gas or liquid propane supply—eliminating the need for manual refueling or temporary extension cords.
Here’s how it works: The generator is paired with an automatic transfer switch that constantly monitors your utility power. When an outage occurs, the transfer switch immediately signals the generator to start. Within seconds, the generator powers on and begins supplying electricity directly to your building’s electrical panel. Once utility power is restored, the system automatically shuts down the generator and seamlessly reconnects your facility to the grid.
