You dont need a larger generator just a smarter one! In the past, selecting a home generator system meant choosing between a smaller unit that would only power the barest essentials, or a much larger, more fuel-hungry and costly unit. Perfect for smaller to medium-sized homes, the new 13kW* Home Generator System by GE includes our Symphony II™ Power Management System allowing you to meet the power needs of your whole house, (including up to two 4-ton air conditioners). And with a footprint that is 15% smaller than our other whole house systems, these units blend in beautifully with your homes exterior and landscaping.

Why the Symphony II™ Power Management System? Well, not all appliances are powered equally. Some, such as your central air conditioner, electric clothes dryer, electric stovetop, oven, or whirlpool tub, require a large amount of power to start up or operate properly.

The Symphony II™ orchestrates these high-demand appliances with lower-demand items to give you true whole-house power with a smaller, more affordable generator. The package also includes one of the best comprehensive parts and labor warranties in the business - 4 year limited warranty** (a value of up to $140) - your guarantee of quality and performance.

Automatic

The transfer switch continuously monitors your home's connection to utility power. The generator starts automatically when there is an outage and shuts down automatically when utility power is restored.


Symphony™ II Power Management

The patented Symphony™ II power controls offer a whole house solution for virtually every size home. Most high wattage appliances require a large and expensive generator to meet the demands of a larger home. With Symphony™ II Power Management, you can manage the power demands of even the most power hungry appliances.


Compact

Tucked in close to your home, the 13kW* has a sleek profile and a footprint that is 15% smaller than our other whole house systems.

Galvanneal steel provides years of rust-resistant, outdoor protection—perfect for extreme weather conditions.


Electronics-friendly

The system delivers clean, stable power, protecting your computers and other sensitive electronic equipment from damage.
