Generac Power Systems, Inc., which was founded in 1959, is a pioneer in the home standby generator category and is a global leader in energy technology solutions. From its headquarters in Wisconsin, Generac designs, engineers, and manufactures a broad portfolio of power generation and energy storage products for residential, commercial, and industrial markets. For over six decades, Generac has remained committed to innovation, reliability, and supporting professionals who keep the power on, no matter the conditions.

Generac offers a full spectrum of power solutions, from portable generators and home standby units to commercial and industrial backup systems, automatic transfer switches, energy storage, and load management tools. Their product portfolio also includes cutting-edge clean energy solutions, remote monitoring platforms, and tools like FieldPro® that simplify installation and maintenance for electrical professionals. Generac supports the full lifecycle of power, from installation to service, with robust training, technical resources, and industry-leading support.

Generac describes its key differentiators as product innovation, installer-first design, and unmatched support infrastructure. Their solutions are built with contractors in mind, streamlining installation and minimizing callbacks through smart diagnostics and intuitive tools. They also offer a nationwide training network, 24/7 technical support, and a comprehensive dealer and contractor program that equips electrical professionals with marketing resources, co-op funding, and potential rebates. Their legacy, scale, and focus on supporting the trades help Generac strive to be a trusted partner, rather than just a product provider.

WECA Member Contractors interested in partnering with Generac gain access to a high-demand, high-margin product category with strong consumer awareness and robust manufacturer support. Generac provides technical training led by licensed Master Electricians with real-world installation experience, offered both in-person and online as 4-hour training blocks on product installation and NFPA code standards.

In addition to hands-on education, WECA Member Contractors can also tap into Generac’s Technical Applications Team for guidance on best installation practices, product application, and troubleshooting. Whether WECA Member Contractors are entering the generator market or expanding their portfolios, Generac offers practical tools, training, and support to help them grow.

Generac partnered with WECA because of their shared mission to elevate the electrical trade through education and apprenticeship. As tradespeople themselves, Generac’s Technical Applications Team is staffed by licensed Master Electricians who believe strongly in preparing the next generation. Generac views this partnership not just as a strategic opportunity, but as a professional responsibility; equipping tomorrow’s electricians with the knowledge and confidence to safely and successfully install modern power solutions.

Generac is looking forward to supporting WECA Member Contractors with technical and installation training at reduced or no cost, delivered either onsite at WECA facilities or virtually. These sessions are led by their licensed Master Electricians and are designed to ensure contractors can install Generac products with confidence and code compliance. WECA Member Contractors are encouraged to use Generac’s technical resources and staff Master Electricians as trusted support for product selection and NFPA code-related questions.
