Can I run a computer or other electronics on my generator?

Yes. GE standby generators feature the new Synergy™ powertrain, which features a commercial grade Vanguard V-Twin engine and a premium quality alternator for ultra smooth power from your generator. And it's just as safe as what you normally have coming out of the wall socket. The spikes or surges that accompany power generation (also known as "harmonic distortion") are just a normal aspect of electricity. However, when considering sensitive or expensive electronic equipment running off a wall outlet, you should use a good surge protector to guard against small influxes of power. The Synergy powertrain features a 5 year limited warranty-- the best in the business and your guarantee of quality and performance.
