The day after we completed our installation and testing, the power went out due to high winds and storms, withing a few seconds of the power dropping the generator kicked in and we had power once again. The power was out for approximately 2-1/2 hours and when it came back on the generator shut down as expected and is ready for the next outage. Awesome to have such a reliable and efficient product to place peace of mind and a safe feeling up here in the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan where the weather brings ice and snow this time of year. We added the cold weather kit and Mobile Link unit as well just to make sure all is ready.

This was the best money I’ve spent to protect my home ! Colonial Generator was very proffesional with the installation and the workers were very knowledgeable about this product ! I am very pleased with choosing a proffesional installer and would recommend this product and Colonial Generator to anyone ! You can’t get any better !

Actually, aside from it looking good, We have no idea how well it works. We have not had any type power outage since installation. Further, we have attempted to "be there" when the unit initiates its bi-weekly "process". As yet have we heard it start up. Therefore, we're unsure if it works. We've contacted the consultant and he checked the time & date and the schedule and pronounces it "good to go". so, at this time, we are in a "wait & see' mode.

Can't tell you enough how please we are with personal and professional attention that James Lundy and team gave us. We have needed the generator one time since installation and within one minute it was as if there was not any problem We used both televisions. had heat, washed clothes, cooked. It is wonderful. Would definitely recommend. Truly gives peace of mind when out of town. Thank you!! Barney and Kathy Molnar

Pretty straight forward install. My actual costs were about half what a pro quoted not including chasing parts and my labor. Commissioning was straight forward also. Notable notes: Im not 100% satisfied on the auto start. The engine start takes longer than i like and it stumbles a bit. Plan to recheck gas service. Its also a bit louder than expected. From pre buy conversations with local dealers i dont expect much support either because i didnt give them the total sale. Consider that before you buy from a wholesaler.. I will review again after the first power loss.

My unit has kicked in multiple times since our purchase, be it minutes are hours. There is a minimum loss of power from outage to generator transfer. When power restored, there is no "blink" to indicate house power back on. Once a week , as scheduled, it starts up to run a five minute test.

The generator has worked flawlessly, but had to call Mobile Link to get that feature enrolled. FYI, the serial number the enrollment form is looking for is that of the generator and the MDN# it wants is the 10 digit number (w/o dashes) on the Mobile Link unit itself. Except for that minor hiccup, we love the generator.

This is my second Generac over the last 13 years. Besides the one malfunction I had on my last generac both generators haven't missed a lick. Very dependable! I would buy another one if needed. And would recommend this generator to anyone! Thanks for everything!

Product is an insurance policy making sure you have power when a failure occurs. Installation prices are high and some installers want almost as much to install the unit as the unit cost. When power fails, the unit is automatic and restores whole house power.

Within a month of installation of our Generac Home House Generator, our power went out. As promised, the generator kicked on within 30 seconds. Our living routine DID NOT CHANGE during this 8 hour outage. We ran the Washer, Dryer, and Dishwasher simultaneously, along with our big screen TV. Would never know we lost our regular source of power!
