Unlike portable generators, this unit is hard-wired into your home’s electrical system. When the utility power fails, the included \u003cb\u003e50-Amp Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)\u003c\/b\u003e senses the outage, signals the generator to start, and switches your home's circuits to generator power—all without you lifting a finger. It operates on your home's existing Natural Gas (NG) or Propane (LPG) supply, eliminating the need for manual refueling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features \u0026amp;
