Can A Generac Generator Power Your Whole House? Testing Generac
When the grid drops, what actually happens at your home? In this demo, Kevin shows a Generac home backup generator in action during a simulated outage. Here is what you will see:

How it works
The system waits about 30 seconds after a power loss. That delay filters out quick brownouts or momentary blackouts.
After the delay, the generator starts automatically and your home is back at full power.
When utility power returns, the transfer switch moves you back to the grid and shuts down the generator. In our test, the oven and dryer keep running through the switchover with no noticeable disruption.

What this means for “whole-home” power
A generator can run your whole house if it is sized for your loads and installed with the right transfer equipment. Kevin talks through what matters most: service size, major appliances, and surge demands, plus how to set realistic priorities for essentials vs nice-to-have circuits.

Why the 30 second delay matters
Fewer nuisance starts
Longer generator life
Smoother, safer transitions for sensitive electronics
