I decided to buy a whole home generator. After reading lots of review Generac was the clear choice. I called Optimize EGS in Baton Rouge, they came out and explained the process. The crew came to install a Guardian 22 kw unit. The were professional and did a great job with the entire process. We ran a test run after the install. I am now prepared for any outages now! No more one month outage after hurricanes!!!!

The features concerning the generator and transfer switch are impressive. Especially the on board keypad programming and Mobile Link WIFI access to monitor the unit. Overall I think the 24KW will well serve our needs during an outage and our future needs.

I recently had the 22KW installed in my home of 2,500 square feet. The exercise mode starts once per week for a period of 5 minutes; we do not hear the generator from inside the residence. The overall appearance blends in extremely well with our brick home. I am highly impressed with the design and overall performance of the unit. In the event of a need for an emergency oil, air filter, or spark plug change, the design allows for easy access by the home owner. All other maintenance can be performed by the dealer. I am a very WELL PLEASED CUSTOMER.

I’ve been waiting a long time to purchase my Generac Whole Home Generator. Having my new generator gives me a great sense of security. Since I was a child with Hurricane Betsy, we’ve never left our home for any of Louisiana’s hurricanes, We suffered thru the power outages and the heat and lots of ice chest full of food and drink. Pulling electrical cords and fans thru our home. And now we’ll be living in absolute comfort from the moment our power goes out to the moment our wonderful lineman restore power to our grid. Thank you Generac for having such a necessary product at a very affordable price.

My new Generac 22KW generator installation is complete, and everything works flawlessly. It has already turned itself on for a scheduled self-test. It is comforting to know that I am no longer subject to the inconvenience and financial consequences of random power outages. Excellent and well-designed product!

The installation started out complicated but the crew really did a great job installing. They also gave us a great education on how it works and what to look at. It is small enough that it doesn't look bad in our back yard. Not too noisy. Our power went out the day before the generator was installed. Within a month after installation the power went out on Mother's Day for about 4 hours. The generator was great and we enjoyed my day.

As a single mom of two youngsters in CT, after the storms and snow we’ve had here the last few years, I had to consider a backup power source when we moved into our “new” 45 yr old home last year. My primary concerns were the safety/comfort of my kids and keeping the sump pump in the basement powered. Yes, a portable generator is much less expensive - but having the 22kW generator with whole house switch is EFFORTLESS. Just tonight, I sat through dinner with my kids as the power went out due to high winds from a nor’easter - within seconds everything came back on and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Power was just restored 10 minutes ago and transferred seamlessly back and the generator shut itself off. I am so thrilled with this generator, and proud of myself for investing in it, that I felt compelled to write a review. Let power outages be one less thing you worry about!

I am in the Emergency Management Field and live in a hurricane prone area on the east coast. The Generac will provide peace of mind when I am deployed knowing my family will always have electrical power without having to worry about a portable generator and extension cords. Our dealer was great and provided information and a professional install. I highly recommend the "GENPAD" for added security and great looks. This is an excellent product, and made in the USA.

Hightower Electric was an excellent choice for obtaining our Generac standby automatic generator system. Mike Lowrey explained the correct sizing of the generator needed and dealing with local gas utility. He obtained the permits from the township, kept us informed of schedule progress, performed the work on the agreed date and scheduled the two township inspections required before final acceptance. He offered as an add-on option a replacement of our home's old main electrical panel box with new circuit breakers and proper grounding. There were no surprises, in terms of project scope, schedule and cost.

Did a lot of research and decided on Generac. I am chairman of the board of our local power provider. I had our our staff spec out my size needs, based on my peak usage for the past 6 months. I bought a unit much larger than recommended. When final hook up was done(very expensive) we could not even test the unit because a starter battery was not included. Then the state electrical inspector and my local professional electrician informed me that the breaker in the unit was abou 1/2 of what was needed to power this unit. I still do not have it on line. Very disappointed at this time.
