Installed fairly easily, used an electrician to connect wiring. Ran well in test. Runs every 2 weeks in automatic mode. After reading past reviews, hope it holds up for a while. Came with 49 hours on the meter, now has 51 hours on meter. Guess we'll see.

My husband and I had a whole house generator installed in our new home. It has already been used, and everything worked as advertised. We have great peace of mind knowing our house will be functioning even if there is a significant power outage. The appearance of the generator is as it was shown, no surprises there.

Ed and his crew were very professional, timely and efficient… The unit was installed, completed and running in one day. This is our first winter storm season that we have the unit. It works GREAT and does exactly what Ed said it would do in a power outage!

Received the unit in a timely manner, extremely well packed Was installed by me without drama, not the easiest for a somewhat non-qualified amateur but if you have reasonable electrical skills & a bit of common sense along with the willingness to follow instructions (not my greatest trait,, ) ,,,,,,,,,, it's not bad So far so good the only thing it doesn't like is my air compressor but I knew that going in as it draws ±180amps measured on start so is going to need a soft start modification & hopefully that will make it happy.

Thankfully,we have not had a power loss yet. But it's working.Every Friday at the exact minute it runs through it's test for 5 mins.to the second,then shuts down. It's given us great confidence that it will be there when needed. And already gave recommendations to family and friends. 22KW Guardian

Generator arrived on time and was in excellent condition. Delivers on every aspect of description. Best price on market after comparing to several other units. Nice after sale offers on warranties and service. Would recommend to anyone. Installation was uneventful and operation after install was flawless.

This is my second Generac whole stand by generator. I bought in 2016 and the new one as it has the aluminum housing and it has 5K more power, even I really did not need the extra power. I bought the extended warranty. So far it works just fine – we have only one outage and that lasted about 6 hours. I live in the Houston area and the time we really need a generator are hurricane type events and those can keep the areas powerless for up to three weeks. Before I bought my current home, the neighbors reported to me with we had hurricane Ike in 2008, they were without power for over two weeks. As long a BIG tree does not fall on the unit, I am ready for the next one.

We have used our Gen 5 times since install. Sure save dragging out extension cords and gen to run septic pumps to pump down, then hook up ref & freezer to charge. The night they finished hooking up Gen we had to use it for 4.5 hrs. Sure glad we have it, worth the money.

The standby generator from Generac is a great buy! Only days after installation it was called upon to power my whole house during a Hurricane. As my wife is handicapped, it was imperative to keep our power on. I would have no other product but the Generac generator.

One of those items one hopes will never need, but wish you had when needed! Was put into action a few days ago during a storm- was completely seamless in terms of activation and performance of required tasks. Quiet, efficient, with no running back and forth to obtain fuel, etc. In summary entire family is glad we have a dependable source of power if needed.
