WAUKESHA, Wis., April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Generac Power
Systems, a leading designer and manufacturer of backup power
generators and engine-powered tools, announced the introduction of
the HomeLink 6500E, a revolutionary, all-inclusive, residential
backup power kit.
The new HomeLink™ 6500E is an affordable, safe,
one-of-a-kind backup power solution that integrates an upgradeable
transfer switch and a portable generator in one package. The kit
enables homeowners to properly prepare for outages, with the
ability to back up essential circuits using the portable generator
– and easily upgrade to an automatic home backup generator in
the future with the HomeLink upgradeable manual transfer
switch.
Say goodbye to those frustrating hours spent without power,
dragging out extension cords and potential backfeeding, and say
hello to this easy-to-use, powerful backup power package.
The new 6500E portable generator is designed to provide
residential backup power to essential circuits. When the 6500E
isn't providing home backup power, it can be used to power
recreation equipment, tools and more. It's equipped with an
easy-to-use electric start and TruePower™ technology,
which delivers less than 5 percent total harmonic distortion (THD)
for clean, smooth operation of sensitive electronics and
appliances.
Other notable features include:
- Plug-in battery charger jack for easy charging
- Low-oil shutdown to safeguard the engine
- An hour meter for tracking maintenance intervals
- Covered outlets to protect the unit from environmental
conditions
Included with the 6500E is the HomeLink upgradable manual
transfer switch. With a push of a button, this versatile,
innovative transfer switch allows homeowners to easily harness the
power of their portable generator to power hardwired circuits in
their home. And when homeowners decide to upgrade to an automatic
home backup generator, HomeLink is designed to allow electricians
to simply change out the subpanel, conveniently preparing the
pre-wired switch for an automatic home generator to backup
essential circuits (max 11 kW). This greatly reduces the typical
installation cost of an automatic home generator because all the
circuits have already been wired.
As with other Generac transfer switches, HomeLink is a pre-wired
electrical device that is installed next to a home's utility panel.
During an outage, it allows a backup generator to deliver power to
hardwired appliances, such as a furnace, refrigerator or well pump.
Power indicator lights show homeowners when they have utility power
or generator power.
The HomeLink 6500E is available through Generac's network of
over 5,000 authorized dealers. Click here to find the nearest
