Westinghouse 28,000 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator

The Westinghouse 28,000 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator is one of the most powerful portable generators available for residential use, engineered to handle whole-home backup requirements including central air conditioning, well pumps, sump pumps, and multiple large appliances running simultaneously. At 28,000 peak watts (22,500 running watts) on gasoline, this generator can power more than most standby systems at a fraction of the cost and without permanent installation requirements.

Tri-fuel capability is this generator’s most significant practical advantage. By accepting gasoline, propane (LP), or natural gas, the Westinghouse ensures you’re never stranded without power due to fuel availability — a critical consideration during extended outages when gas stations may be closed or running low. Natural gas connection eliminates fuel storage concerns entirely, while propane and gasoline provide portable backup options. The running wattage is 22,500W on gas and adjusts accordingly on LP or natural gas.

The push-button electric start system with battery backup eliminates the physical effort of recoil starting on a large-displacement engine. A wireless remote start key fob extends convenient startup capability up to 165 feet away, allowing you to start the generator from inside the house. The 1,000cc Westinghouse OHV engine with cast iron cylinder sleeve is built for extended-duty operation — designed to handle the thermal demands of continuous whole-home power delivery for hours at a time.

The 12-hour run time at 50% load on a full tank allows overnight operation without refueling, and the built-in CO sensor adds critical safety protection by automatically shutting down the generator if carbon monoxide builds to dangerous levels near the machine.
