Features of a 16 KW Generator
More power and more features make the 16 kW an exceptional value with the capacity to be in the class of whole house generators.
The 16 kW provides 16-circuit protection and has enough power to start a 5-ton* AND a 3-ton, or two 4-ton air conditioners with power to spare.
Whisper Quiet Operation - Most quality 16 kw whole house generators will include a low speed exercise feature that will make the 16 kW as quiet as a car idling in the driveway during the weekly automatic self-test.
