What Do The Green, Yellow, & Red Lights Mean On My Generac Automatic Standby Generator?

What Does The Green Light On My Generac Automatic Standby Generator Mean?

The indicator light, which can be found on the right side of your Generac automatic standby generator unit, has a few different settings, each of which will alert you of the status of your generator. When this indicator light is a solid green color, it means that your generator is all set and is ready to run the next time you lose grid power. On the other hand, a flashing green indicator light means that your generator is currently running and providing power to your home.

What Does The Yellow Light On My Generac Automatic Standby Generator Mean?

The indicator light on your Generac automatic standby generator being yellow means that it is time for your generator’s yearly preventive maintenance. It’s important to note that when your indicator light is yellow (or partially green & partially yellow), your generator WILL run, it’s just time for you to schedule maintenance. Annual or semi-annual preventative maintenance on your automatic standby generator is essential for ensuring that your generator will be ready to run when your utility power goes out. Preventative maintenance can also extend your generator’s lifespan and help prevent you from having to pay for costly repairs.

What Does The Red Light On My Generac Automatic Standby Generator Mean?

If the indicator light on the right side of your Generac automatic standby generator is red, it means that there is a problem with your generator and it will NOT run & provide power to your home when the grid power goes out. If you notice the indicator light on your generator is red, it’s important to contact a Generac service dealer in your area.
