Q: just bought the eco generator today and need a cold start/warm kit for battery etc.. but seeing an exact fit for what I have ??? is there one???
by Chris from Connecticut on October 21, 2011

A: Unfortunately, there is not a cold weather kit for the Eco-Gen at this time.
by Jim, Product Expert

Q: What is a composite pad ?
by CHARLES BLYTHE from North Carolina on April 08, 2011

A: The composite pad is a strong, lightweight mounting pad provided to simplify the installation. By including the pad with the generator, installation time and cost is reduced since a concrete base is no longer a requirement.
by Jim, Product Expert

Q: Is this wireless monitor compatible with the Generac CorePower series ?
by Tim from New York on March 01, 2011

A: The Generac Nexus™ Advanced Wireless Monitor is only compatible with the Guardian and EcoGen Series models with the internal Nexus™ Controller and cannot be connected to the CorePower model.

Q: Hello Jim, do you have, or can you recommend stand-by generator installers for the Houston, Texas area? We are in the N.W. Houston area.
by David Reece from Texas on February 13, 2011

A: Since we do not get involved in the installation process and since we ship all over the continental US we do not have a list of installers to provide. You can contact a local Generac dealer who may do installations at a reasonable price and will provide you with the best installation knowledge. You do not necessarily have to purchase a Generac generator from them to utilize their installation and they would be your resource for maintenance and warranty repairs.

Q: Is this generator (Model 5884) a good choice for off grid solar system backup. 14kw not essential circuit?
by Avery Edwards from Colorado on January 25, 2011

A: The Generac 5884 generator is specifically designed for emergency backup only and will not be warranted in an off-the-grid application.

Generac did come out with a new model specifically designed for off-the-grid and solar applications.
