Great looking stand alone generator that I have not had the use of as yet, but just knowing it is there for me when I have a power failure gives me great piece of mind. It looks good in the cabinet, and the installation was great. Knowing that whether I am home or not, in the middle of the night, or at any time in between, my home will be protected by my automatic Generac generator.

The installation was a fire and mechanical hazard. 1. Putting the garage door down ripped the wires down causing the door to get stuck. 2. The garage door spring cables rubbed on the power lines - creating a fire hazard. The installation is being redone. I may change my review after the problems are corrected.

We had the 22kW Generac installed the Autumn of 2016. Our 1st power outage of the season occurred a couple of weeks ago. The outage started at 10:30pm, just as everyone was prepping for bedtime. 10 seconds after the outage begun we had FULL power. No problems, the generator shut down automatically after residential power was restored, and our electric service was automatically cut over to AC. WOW !! No more lugging out the portable generator!. We also installed the battery heater and oil filter heater - cold climates.

So far we are well pleased with the unit, the auto no load test works well. We look forward to this test every Monday at 10:00 AM, when this happens., it gives us the good filling that we just might not be left in the dark anymore. We have had one loss of power since the install, all systems performed as designed. Thanks Jack

We had this generator installed in December and so far we have not had to use it. That's a good thing. In the past we have had to sit in a dark, cold house for up to a week. We're too old for that now. We kept seeing General generators being installed in several new houses being built in our area so we talked to a few of the neighbors, made a call and got one ordered. We go out and check when it runs its test and I hate to say it but I'm ready for a power outage!

Our power went out and the generac cut on within 3 sec, as the contractor said it would. It did make a loud clunk sound when it cut over, and the generator does make some noise. The clunk sound woke us and the dogs up, and the generator is close to a bedroom, so it did disturb our grandson. The cut-over box (on the outside) is just outside my bedroom, so explains why it woke us and the dogs. Other then that, it works great, and a small price to pay(being woke up) for keeping power on. I love the looks. Contractor was very thorough, and helpful. We needed a new elect panel, so he took care of it. Also needed a larger gas meter and line put in, and he made all the arrangements for us, with our permission. I highly recommend this contractor. We have a neighbor that has a young child, so happy it has locks on it. Our town is known for power outages, so very happy we had it installed.

It's early times yet, so I'm not ready to rate the installation and equipment. We had some qlitches getting the stand built, in part because the Generac team wouldn't do it (too high, they said) and we had to contract that job out. Attaching the stand to our house turned out to be a bad idea, because the house shakes whenever the generator comes on. The stand should, if possible, be free-standing. Ask me after it's been through a hurricane.

I was very impressed in the entire process. The initial survey to determine my needs, installation, and customer service have been top notch. Earlier this week we had a storm and lost power for 1/2 hour. The system worked flawlessly!!! You can not go wrong with Generac. Their certified installers are very well trained.

All weather conditions vary, yet the New England winters can play havoc on the power grid. Even though we are on the grid, we are a few miles away from the main lines, and we would lose power 3-5 times per winter season, from 1-2 days in duration. One day is not so bad, and makes the family actually spend time together, but 2-3 days of no heat, etc. becomes a little challenging in this electronic age. The Generator crossed that gap and provides whole house power during the storm even. On Natural gas (in my case) I'm not worried about Gasoline or Diesel, It auto starts, alerts me on it's performance, provides all the necessities and was well worth the investment. It's January, and we have already had three power outages, although they were only a few hours in duration, the generator would kick right in and provide a normal living environment while the crews fixed the lines. Would I do it again? I should have 5 years ago!.

It was almost three months from the installation to the first real use of the generator and it performed flawlessly. Our power was out for nearly an hour with the generator providing power after about a 30 second delay. I am just wondering why I waited so long to have one installed. My only issue is that I would like to have a set of outlets on the generator to power items outside.
