The QuietConnect™ air-cooled series is built for homeowners who want whole-house backup without the noise — a best-in-class 65 dB(A) or lower, about the volume of a normal conversation, in a compact 34 x 36 x 27 in footprint. It runs on natural gas or LP vapor, starts itself when utility power drops, and returns to standby when the grid comes back.
