Honda Generators

Power outtages during a storm are scary and more than an inconvenience. Even a power loss of a few hours may compromise the safety of your family and result in damage to your home. A quiet, reliable Honda generator keeps you connected. These generators provide power to keep your lights on; run your sump pump; prevent broken pipes by powering your furnace; and avoid food spoilage in your refrigerator.

Most homeowners have some basic questions when exploring portable generators. Honda’s EU7000iS delivered unmatched performance for home back-up. This portable generator delivers enough power to keep most homes running through a simple transfer switch. Unlike dedicated back-up generators, the frame includes built in handles and wheels to move any where else you need power. For the ultimate in portability, smaller Honda EU-Series generators like the EU1000i and all new EU2200i are lightweight and powerful solutions.

I hope this brief preview simplifies which generator suits your needs. If you have any questions, our staff is happy to help anytime.

Honda Super Quiet Generators

Many generators are produced for industrial applications like powering worksites. These generators are loud and produce uneven electrical signals.

Honda Super Quiet Generators provide quiet, stable power. The entire EU-Series delivers clean steady, safe electricity. This a key quality when powering expensive tools, appliances or simply trying to recharge a cell phone or tablet. Raw power passes through a microprocessor to delivery power stable enough to operate the most sensitive electronics without the fear of surges. This means you can plug computers, televisions and even charge smart phones directly off these generators. This makes the EU-Series perfect for home back-up, camping or tail-gaiting.

EU7000iS – Ultimate in home backup

Honda’s flagship model features fuel injection, providing reliable power without fuel-related problems. This generator can deliver 7000 watts and run from 6.5 to 18 hours on a single tank of fuel. This EU Series generator is our most powerful, versatile and technologically advanced generator. The GFCI 120 volt outlets allow homeowners to safely power most homes. For the ideal solution, a professionally installed home transfer switch and this generator keeps your entire home secure.

Parallel Capability

When 2200 watts is not enough power, EU2200i generators feature a parallel function. Two generators are linked via cables to double your power. This capability delivers enough power for most RV applications and home emergency power. The flexibility of using only one at a time appeals to many people looking for lightweight, portable power.

EU3000iS – RV Generator

The perfect compliment to your RV, the 3000 watts can power 13,500 BTU RV A/C units. The ability to run for up to 20 hours on a single tank and its incredibly low operating noise add to its utility as a home backup option. Explore this generator

What is a Transfer Switch?

A transfer switch installs near your home circuit panel (fuse box). You plug your generator into this switch with a special outlet and cable. The advantages of a transfer switch are

  • Power is isolated to specific circuits at your discretion (furnace, sump pump, kitchen, main bedroom)
  • The generator can be safely operated outside of your home
  • Generator’s power does not go outside the house or building
