Power More for Less - you don't need a larger generator, just a smarter one. The Energy Efficient 20kW* Standby Generator system from GE allows you to manage the power demands of your whole house while still maintaining maximum comfort and control from a smaller, more fuel efficient system.

Perfect for larger luxury homes, the system includes a 20,000 watt generator and the revolutionary new Symphony transfer switch which will allow you to quietly manage the demand of up to two 5 ton central air conditioners in addition to all of your essential items.

GE offers the only platform featuring patented controls that prevent overload due to unmanaged power demand. Includes our premium 5-year limited warranty** (a value of up to $319). This item cannot be returned.
