Note: This article only offers a summary overview of commonly requested details regarding generator extended warranties and is not exhaustive or guaranteed to be completely accurate and up to date. In the event of any difference between this summary and the warranty terms and conditions, the terms and conditions control.

Home standby extended warranties

Extended warranties are available for Generac home standby and commercial generators. Some warranties must be purchased from a Generac Authorized Sales or Service Dealer, while others are available for a limited time as part of a promotional offer.

Environment

This information applies to all air and liquid-cooled Generac home standby generators (besides Core Power System, EcoGen, or RV generators) that have an existing factory warranty.

Extended warranties available for purchase

The time frame for purchasing an extended warranty depends on the generator model:

For liquid-cooled units, homeowners have a timeframe of 1 year from the date of activation to secure an extended warranty
For air-cooled units (9 kW - 26 kW), homeowners have until the end of their factory warranty period to secure an extended warranty from a dealer. The extended warranty is 5, 7, or 10 years total. It does not add to the existing warranty but replaces the current warranty.

Information and pricing can be confirmed by reaching out to a local Generac authorized service dealer. See the How Can I Find a Generac Service Dealer in My Area? article for more information.

Promotional extended warranties

Generac frequently offers extended warranties as part of promotional campaigns. The availability of these promotional offers is subject to change.

IHC promotional warranty - In-home consultations can result in an extended warranty if the homeowner ends up purchasing through the dealer as a result of the consultation. This warranty is only available for first-time buyers. More information can be found on the warranty promotion page .
Mobile Link promotional warranty - Qualifying generator owners can take advantage of a 5-year extended warranty if they sign up for a paid Mobile Link subscription. See How Do I Claim the 5 Year Extended-Limited Warranty for My Home Standby Generator Using Mobile Link? for more information.

Does Generac sell maintenance contracts?

No. Maintenance contracts, or protection plans, are sold through Generac Authorized Service Dealers. They typically cover scheduled maintenance tasks like oil changes, spark plug replacements, valve adjustments, etc. To purchase a maintenance contract, reach out to a Generac Authorized Service Dealer near you.

Is a past repair covered if I purchase an extended warranty afterwards?

Repairs that occurred prior to purchasing an extended warranty, and were paid for out of pocket, are not covered.

For example:

The fuel regulator on Dave's generator failed on 10/1/2024.
He contacted a service dealer, had it replaced, and paid for the repair out of pocket because his parts warranty coverage had expired.
Then, Dave purchased an extended warranty on 10/31/2024. He asks to have the cost of the fuel regulator repair covered under warranty.
Because the repair occurred before he purchased the extended warranty, the repair cost is not covered.

What should I do if my extended warranty is about to expire?
Contact a Generac Authorized Service Dealer near you to determine eligibility and to purchase an extended warranty.
