What type of gas does this generator use? Also, does it include an automatic switch to turn system on when power goes out?

It can run on natural gas or propane. Depending on what model you buy, it may include an ATS. When it does come as a package, I've only seen a non-service entrance ATS (does not include a breaker switch). The Service Entrance model costs about $300 more, but was worth it for me since it simplified installation.

This is Generac's basic automatic standby system and also you it's output depends on what fuel type you'll be using (7kw - LP, 6kw - NG). It should be sufficient enough to run your furnace (provided it's oil or gas fired), your fridge, your well pump, a microwave, and some lighting/receptacle circuits. This is all we would typically load this unit. No split system A/C, electric range, dryer, wall ovens, electric heat or similar large demanding loads should be put on this unit. Most whole home applications require 14kw and up (depending on load calculations and Generac's recommendations).

It is a dual fuel generator, will run on LP or Natural gas , you have to pick one or the other upon installation, you cannot just switch back and forth.Bruce N. "Bud" Dowdy-Master Electrician Dowdy Electric, Co. An authorized KOHLER & Generac Dealer. 317 24POWER

This model is just propane/gas. Look around in the web and search for the model you need. I had simply just deleted the electric service on mine. But mind you it is a manual light.

It has a blower and a manual blower switch on the back. As far as I know you cannot convert it to natural gas. The natural gas ones are sold separately.

The On/Off version switch will turn 120 Volts AC on and off. What type of electrical interface does the gas fireplace have to turn it on and off?

It's a Generac motor. I own one of these and ran it for 60 hours minus the down time to fill it. It ran flawlessly running 12+ hours on a tank of gas. My max draw during the CT snow storm was 2500 watts. This generator was not even breathing hard. This is one fantastic generator.

You would need to change the pressure regulator and jets to run the generator off natural gas. The gases are compatible, but the delivery pressure is different, hence the need to change a couple parts.

This Kohler Home Standby Generator can operate on both Liquid Propane and Natural Gas. It comes plumbed for Natural Gas and can be switched to Liquid Propane.

I use this on a car battery that starts my stand alone natural gas home generator along with a Katz block heater on the engine. This generator starts automatically once a week to self test all systems, and it sometimes gets below 20 degrees below zero here. Works great.

Agree with Calvin, this unit can Gas or Propane. My unit utilizes natural gas.

The unit has a maximum output of 10KVA. I have a small PTAC unit that has resistive elements when the air gets too cold. I have to flip the breaker because the unit trips the breaker on the generator. Our gas furnaces in the house work fine.

Due to there being regular (Non Ethanol/middle grade) gasoline at the pumps now, that is what I have and use in my generator. However, the best choice is to purchase (if you have LP or Natural Gas) a fuel adapter kit from the US Carburetion Kit Center (www.uscarb.com) so you can utilize either Gasoline and/or LP/Natural Gas. LP/Natural Gas will not gum up or damage the Carburetor like Ethanol Gas will.

Both are good generators. I also have a Yamaha 4500. Bought this for fall and winter camping. Runs the trailer to include the microwave. Very quiet and a tank of gas lasts over 12 hours. Excellent quality for the price.
