And if you’re installing the Next Generation Generac, this changes everything.
The standby generator hasn’t just evolved. The installation process has.
Generac’s Next Generation Air-Cooled Home Standby Generators — available in 14kW and 18kW models — now require a digital commissioning process using the Field Pro app.
This isn’t optional.
Field Pro is required to commission the new units. And that shift is redefining how generators are installed and serviced.
What Is Field Pro?
Field Pro is Generac’s digital setup and service tool designed specifically for the Next Generation Air-Cooled Home Standby Generator.
It allows contractors to:
- Complete guided installation directly from their phone
- Run automated system tests
- Access real-time diagnostics
- Troubleshoot instantly on-site
The result? Faster commissioning, fewer callbacks, and smarter installs.
Built-In Connectivity from Day One
The Next Generation models include built-in cellular connectivity.
That means:
- Remote monitoring from installation day
- Standardized service contract opportunities
- Proactive maintenance
- Reduced emergency downtime
This isn’t just about install speed — it’s about long-term service efficiency.
More Than a Generator: It’s an Energy Ecosystem
The Next Generation Generac models integrate with:
- ecobee by Generac thermostats
- Generac PWRcell battery systems
This creates seamless monitoring and control of a customer’s home energy system. Generators are no longer standalone equipment — they’re part of a connected energy solution.
Why This Matters Now
Storm season isn’t waiting. Homeowners expect reliability — and contractors need installation efficiency and service control to keep up with demand.
Digital commissioning:
- Speeds up installs
- Improves accuracy
- Reduces troubleshooting time
- Elevates your service offering
Generator installation just went digital — and the contractors who adapt quickly will lead the market.
