- BRBen RookAug 18, 20245.0Great company to work with! We love our whole home standby generator, it keeps our farm up and running when the grid goes out. Every question we had was clearly answered and they have the best pricing in the area. Install was organized, neat, and professional, and the installer tutored me on all of the ins and outs for use.

Frequently Asked Questions About Professional Engine Systems Inc
Why a gen pad?
A gen pad, available in 3-inch and 4-inch options, elevates generators above ground level, eliminating the need for a gravel bed. Its flat bottom ensures proper leveling and prevents the unit from sinking. The solid construction serves as an alternative to poured concrete, while built-in steel inserts allow for direct bolting of the generator to the pad, preventing damage from shifting or sliding.
Why a cold-weather kit?
Cold-weather kits are designed to assist generator start-up in low temperatures. These kits typically include accessories such as oil warmers and battery warmers. Some models also feature additional components to prevent frost accumulation on air intakes and alternators.
Sizing a generator-what size do i need?
To determine the appropriate generator size for your needs, we recommend contacting or visiting our store. Our team is prepared to assist you in making an informed and cost-effective decision based on your specific requirements.
Why should i buy an automatic backup generator instead of a portable generator?
The American Red Cross recommends permanently installed backup generators as a safer alternative to portable models. Properly installed outside, automatic backup generators eliminate the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning associated with portable units. They operate on natural gas or LP fuel, which is more economical than gasoline and doesn't require refilling. These generators start automatically during power outages, eliminating the need for manual setup or extension cords. They provide continuous protection, whether you're home or away, and automatically shut off when utility power is restored.
What is an automatic backup generator?
An automatic backup generator is a standby electrical system that operates independently of your presence. It automatically activates within seconds of a power outage, supplying electricity directly to your home's circuit breaker box. Once utility power is restored, the generator shuts off automatically and remains on standby for future outages. These units are typically powered by natural gas or liquid propane and are installed outside, similar to a central air conditioning unit.
Who is generac?
Generac has been a leading manufacturer of backup power generators since 1959, specializing in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. They have established themselves as the world's largest provider of residential backup generators, with sales volume five times that of their combined competitors. Professional Engine Systems offers a comprehensive range of Generac's product line.
Difference between an auto air-cooled generator and an auto liquid-cooled?
The primary distinction between auto air-cooled and auto liquid-cooled generators lies in their cooling systems. Air-cooled generators utilize fans to circulate air across the engine for cooling purposes. In contrast, liquid-cooled generators employ enclosed radiator systems, similar to those found in automobiles. Typically, liquid-cooled engines are used in larger kW generators due to the increased cooling requirements of their larger engines.
How does the generac ohvi engine compare to air cooled engines used in other brands?
Generac OHVI engines are specifically engineered for generator use, unlike many other engines used in backup power generation. These engines are designed to operate for extended periods during severe power outages or at job sites. They utilize pressurized oil lubrication systems, similar to those in automobile engines, which contribute to their long-lasting and reliable performance.
What is the advantage of an aluminum enclosure?
In addition to their standard galvanneal steel enclosures, Generac offers premium aluminum enclosures for residential backup generators. Aluminum enclosures provide natural resistance to rust and corrosion. For environments with salt air or high humidity, aluminum enclosures are highly recommended to ensure long-term, worry-free operation spanning decades.
Do generators have to be maintained?
Yes, generators require basic maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and years of reliable service, all generators need periodic oil and filter changes. These simple maintenance procedures are essential for the longevity and efficiency of the unit.
