Buying Guide: Generac Generator Parts

Generator Maintenance Kits
Generac maintenance kits supply the hardware for routine service, with one kit designed for home standby generators and another designed for portable generators. Oil is sold separately, so buy it according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The portable kit suits generators that have run for long periods or sat in storage.

Generator Parallel Kits
Parallel kits connect two Generac inverter generators so they can power more appliances at once, such as an RV air conditioner and lights. Storage compartments and an RV cord connection are included on some models, while certain cords are sold separately. Check the model numbers of both generators before ordering.

Manual Transfer Switch
The Home Link manual transfer switch mounts next to your home's circuit panel and lets you power hard-wired appliances such as a furnace or well pump during an outage. It is offered in a 240 volt version. Have a qualified electrician install it, and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
