Automatic whole-house protection

Paired with a compatible transfer switch, the PP13 senses utility loss and restores power in under 30 seconds. Weekly 16-second self-test runs keep the engine and electronics ready without wasting fuel.

Dual-fuel economy

Switch effortlessly between natural gas and propane — no jets to change. Propane delivers the full 13 kW rating, while natural gas offers virtually unlimited runtime for extended outages.

Neighborhood-friendly noise levels

An oversized muffler, sound-dampened enclosure and low-idle mode keep operating noise at a modest 65–69 dB(A), comparable to a normal conversation.

Utility-grade, electronics-safe power

The generator’s electronic voltage regulation keeps total harmonic distortion below 5%, protecting laptops, gaming consoles and smart-home hubs from voltage spikes.

Engineered for harsh climates

Sealed aluminum panels resist corrosion, and the 186 mph wind rating exceeds hurricane-force requirements. Built-in low-oil and high-temperature shutdowns, plus vibration isolation mounts, safeguard the engine in scorching or sub-zero conditions.
