To prevent extreme weather from disrupting electrical power to your home, many homeowners install a whole house backup generator.

Whole house generators, such as those from Generac, are wired into your home’s electrical system to take over automatically when there is a power outage. Since whole house generators run on natural gas or propane, they require no maintenance from homeowners in the event of an emergency.>/p>

   Generac now has available a generator designed for being the primary source of electrical power. Go to generac.com, and you can contact me from their website if you type in zip 60477.

   I am trying to sell a “whole house” Quite Sourece Generac generator. Only 75 hours on it, 3.5 years old. Like new. Used as automatic back up power. I put it on Crags list, but do you have other suggestions?

   Please let me know.

   Thanks in advance for any advice yo can give me.

   God bless!
