- Vanguard® 627 cc V-Twin engine — commercial-grade, full-pressure-lubricated and built for 24/7 reliability
- <5 % THD from a MeccAlte synchronous alternator — clean, safe power for sensitive electronics
- 65 dB(A) low-idle / 69 dB(A) normal — quieter than most central-AC units
- Rugged aluminum enclosure resists rust, withstands 186 mph winds and needs only 18 in of clearance
- InfoHub™ cellular monitoring-ready — check status and receive alerts from your phone (accessory)
- Industry-leading 7-year limited warranty covers parts, labor and travel
Automatic whole-house protection
Paired with a compatible transfer switch, the PP13 senses utility loss and restores power in under 30 seconds. Weekly 16-second self-test runs keep the engine and electronics ready without wasting fuel.
Dual-fuel economy
Switch effortlessly between natural gas and propane — no jets to change. Propane delivers the full 13 kW rating, while natural gas offers virtually unlimited runtime for extended outages.
Neighborhood-friendly noise levels
An oversized muffler, sound-dampened enclosure and low-idle mode keep operating noise at a modest 65–69 dB(A), comparable to a normal conversation.
Utility-grade, electronics-safe power
The generator’s electronic voltage regulation keeps total harmonic distortion below 5%, protecting laptops, gaming consoles and smart-home hubs from voltage spikes.
Engineered for harsh climates
Sealed aluminum panels resist corrosion, and the 186 mph wind rating exceeds hurricane-force requirements. Built-in low-oil and high-temperature shutdowns, plus vibration isolation mounts, safeguard the engine in scorching or sub-zero conditions.
