Automatic

The Symphony™ II Power Management System 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.

Compact

The system blends in beautifully with your home's exterior and landscaping, much like your central air conditioner does.

Durable and Weather-Resistant Enclosure

The new military-grade finish provides years of all-season outdoor protection and resistance to corrosion, chipping and abrasions eliminating the need for an aluminum enclosure.

Electronics-friendly

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

Included Extras

Each system includes an automatic transfer switch, hour meter, battery charger, and synthetic oil.
