We are in our seventies, retired, spoiled with our toys and acutely aware of our potential for health and accident issues. We live in a hurricane prone region. Although, the generator is new and a long term review would address reliability, these thoughts are provided. This generator provides whole house power allowing us to get rid of several devices such as portable generators, lighting and coolers stored/used during power outages. The phones work, CELs charge. We no longer have to buy ice, buy and store gas, move coolers, hook up lighting, wire the frig./freezer to a portable generator and the TV works. It is not only a power source, it is a reason to get rid of several potential safety related functions during outages that we no longer need to accomplish at our age.

Very satisfied with the Generac 24Kw whole house generator. We looked at other brands but for dependability and price the Generac was the best choice. DM Electrical and Construction was our chosen contractor and we were very pleased with them from start to finish.

Mike the gas man was especially helpful and I was told by the Smyrna Inspector that the gas work was really superb. Mike came out on 2 separate times after installation to show me how the unit worked. I really appreciate his hard work and dedication. Thanks again Mike for a job well done.

After being without electricity for 11 straight days with hurricane Laure and then 3 days with a ice storm 5 months later we decided to get the 22kw home generator with the ATS switch. During Laura I poured 353 gallons of gas for our 15kw portable generator. That is not a type o. Since our purchase 17 months ago we have lost power three times and each time the generator has worked flawlessly. No more having to come home and hooking up the portable generator or hauling gas.

We have just had this unit installed. In our previous house, we lost power during the night for several hours in late Fall. As a result, one of our forced hot water heating circuits froze. Once we were able to get it thawed, water was running down the wall. In this new house, we have already lost power for a few hours, causing our sump in the basement to overflow. No more of that! We are retired and look forward to the peace of mind this Generac will provide.

Just had a 4 day power interruption in Texas but with my Generac 22kw literally saved my 86 year old moms life who requires electricity to run her oxygen pump for her medical copd condition that lives with me. Generac built a incredible machine that worked to provide heat and light in our house in subfreezing conditions operating on natural gas. I unreservedly recommend to every family to protect their loved ones in this climate change.

With all the stories on the news about long power outages such as in Louisiana and possible sun spots/flares having the potential to knock out power grids, I feel more secure having the generator so I have electricity and don't lose all the food in the frig and freezer. While the investment in the generator is significant, I am sure the return on the investment will be well worth it.

I had the same model (22KW - 7043 N/G) at my previous residence. It was in Indialantic, FL - on the barrier island. I've recently moved, and wanted to get another Generac. Since my second home was approximately the same size, it was a no-brainer. Living on the Space Coast - Melbourne/Cocoa Beach, FL., having a generator is a bit more important than it would be in some other parts of the country. Not being a statistician, I had to roughly calculate the value of this over time. I've basically figured out that when combining lost items in the fridge/freezer (times 2), and the expected mold/mildew that would likely set in before this snowbird to return home, this purchase would pay for itself easily over the course of it's life expectancy. While we've not had any hurricanes yet this year, I've already lost power twice due to thunderstorms. Those interruptions were short, but it's nice to know that had they been any longer, life would have continued without missing a beat. I do like all of the features of this unit, and have great peace of mind knowing that it's ready to go when needed.

Had it installed last month and although we haven't had to use it yet, and hope we don't, it's been doing it's exercise every week and reporting to our phones as expected. We live in a rural area so power outages are likely to be lengthy if they occur. Nothing like peace of mind with this unit.

Yesterday 02/24/2019 - it happened - the power went out. Purchased a 22w Gaurdian on 10/2019. With the high winds and snow my wife and I thought that something was going to happen and at 1915 the power went down. Within seconds the Gernerac powered up and we were back as if nothing happened. Best investment my wife and I made - peace of mind. Thank you a thousand times over.
