what does a generac generator run on

A Generac generator typically runs on natural gas or liquid propane (LP), and some models can also run on diesel. Home standby units are commonly connected to a gas line or propane tank, so they can switch on automatically during an outage.

Quick Scoop

  • Natural gas: Common for homes with an existing gas line.
  • Liquid propane (LP): A popular option if you do not have natural gas access.
  • Diesel: Used on some Generac models, especially in certain commercial or specialized setups.
