Our take on the Champion Power Equipment 13.500-Watt Electric Start Tri Fuel Home Backup

The Champion 13,500-watt tri-fuel generator is a home backup unit that runs on gasoline, propane or natural gas. It has an electric start, a 50-amp outlet for transfer-switch hookup, and Champion's CO Shield carbon monoxide shutdown. Output drops when you switch fuels: gasoline gives the full 13,500 starting watts, propane and natural gas give less. It suits homeowners who want a standby-style generator without a permanent install; it is heavy and loud, and rivals like Generac and Westinghouse offer similar tri-fuel units with comparable features.

Questions and answers

Can it power a whole house?
It can carry a typical home's essentials through a transfer switch, but not every load at once. Large central AC and electric heat usually need load management or a bigger unit.
How much power does it make on propane or natural gas?
Output is lower than on gasoline. Expect roughly a 10 percent drop on propane and a larger drop on natural gas, so check the rating for the fuel you plan to use.
Does it come with a transfer switch?
No. The generator has a 50-amp outlet, but the transfer switch and inlet box are sold separately and should be installed by an electrician.
Is it safe to run near a house?
It has CO Shield, which shuts the engine down when carbon monoxide builds up. It should still run outdoors, well away from windows, doors and vents.
What maintenance does it need?
Change the oil after break-in and then on the schedule in the manual, keep the battery charged, and run it monthly under load so it starts when needed.
