Well Constructed

Excellent constructed and designed unit. Easy serviceable by a handy person. Able to operate my entire house during power outages without problems. Installed in a few hours with minimum power outage or fuel interruption. Excellent workmanship. Installation was neat and very professional. Absolutely would highly recommend this unit.

Muffler Problem

After 435 hours of protection and 5 years of service while using a 22 kw NG model G0065512 generator after hurricane Ida in Louisiana the muffler ruptured at 1 o'clock in the morning. Generator continued running at a very high level of noise. At daylight, in a rain storm, with an umbrella, I removed panels and removed the muffler, it had ruptured at the inlet above the cooling fan for the generator sending metal fragments into the plastic fan blade. Fan was damaged but still usable. I made a repair to the muffler and re-installed. First time I actually needed generator to perform this is reason for poor quality rating.

Excellent choice

Amazing the ease of Installation. The Smart Management Modules were easily installed and what a great idea. Very versatile design that covered several requirements in our installation. Open the lid on the Generator and quality is noticed immediately. Even making maintenance easy and simple was designed into the product.

Lee Legler Construction & Electric did a fantastic installation!

Our installer Lee Legler kept us informed throughout the whole ordering and installation process for our Generac. The installation techs were prompt, efficient and considerate of our home. I would highly recommend both this company and the product for anyone who would like the peace of mind of having a back up power system.

Cleanly designed product with room for feature improvement

The installation and initial burn-in went very well. We ran our ground source heat pump in A/C mode to give it a good test and the 26kw unit was up to the task. We are confident that we can travel without concerns for our pipes freezing while we're away. It could be improved if there were a way on the App to configure it to send email to the owner when a new item is entered into the History Log. As I write this I note that the unit has been off-line via wifi for the past 10 days and I had no idea.

WORKS GREAT

Our generator was installed on Friday March 10th. The very next morning our power went out! The generator performed flawlessly! Our house and greenhouse stayed lighted and warm!! Everything worked as if nothing was wrong. Then when the power came back on later that afternoon the generator switched off just like we had been told it would do! We are very pleased with our investment!

Outstanding Install & Quality

Purchased from Noonan's and installed by Tony's Electric, both in Springfield, Illinois. Great job installing and the explanation of the installation and unit was superb. I now have piece of mind for the wife and I should the power go out. I highly recommend Noonan's and Tony's Electric. Thank you Mike Walton Springfield, Illinois

Model 7043 is online~

After a long process of considering my actual needs Vs my wishes I selected the #7043 with service disconnect & transfer switch. My gas meter is on the opposite side of my home with the electric meter on the opposite end. I placed the gen on the gas meter side and had my transfer switch mounted in the basement (wall) under the outside electric meter. Install was smooth with the most work running the electric and control wires from the generator to the transfer switch. Gas hook up was straight forward with a "T" inserted into my AC-250 gas meter and a pipe run to the generator. When everything was hooked up gen was test run in manual mode. This thing is a LOT quieter than I had imagined. Engine runs smooth. After a 5 minute test run it was shut down and put in automatic mode. The service disconnect switch was turned off and after about 10 seconds the gen started then the transfer switch did it job and fired the transfer switch to gen power. After a few minutes was turned the city power back on and the gen switched back , ran for a cool off cycle and shut off. Perfect ! The only glitch in everything was configuring the WIFI and trying to use the Generac WIFI activation app. The WIFI app never did work from the installer or my attempts to make it work. I ended up using an IP address for WIFI config (192.168.51.1) This worked on the 1st try. I have a multi band WIFI router and my generator liked the 2.4 Ghz radio band. After I got it connected I launched the Generac app and my generator and stats appeared on my phone. Generac also pushed new firmware (1.14.172) to my generator within minutes of getting connected. My install date ( today ) is 4/15/2022 and Generac has made some HUGE improvement to their equipment over the years. Looking at my neighbors house across the street they have an old Generac in the off yellow square cabinet. His is still in use after a decade of use but its REALLY loud and lower KW output than my new 22 KW unit and mine you can barely hear from across the house. When his runs across the street I hope it throws a rod so he buys a new and quieter unit.

Instant power with loss of power

Never a problem with whole house transfer switch. Storms don't bother us. System has monthly start-ups to keep battery fresh. Auto warning system works great if oil needs changed or a problem has occurred. This is my second generator and am very happy.

Peace of mind and outstanding product/value

We just had our 18kw, whole house, wi-fi enabled Gererac generator installed and couldn't be more pleased with the Generac unit, its easy to understand features, the peace of mind in knowing that we now have electrical outage restoration reliability sitting in our back yard like an electrical guardian! The installers, Woody, Tom and Jeff were absolutely professional and competent in all phases of their work and were not at all deterred by a cold, rainy and windy installation day. This team was incredible as they explained each phase of the process, and took the time to answer all our questions with clarity. All their work places were cleaned up when completed and the explanation of all phases of operation and maintenance was explained, in clear detail, by Jeff and left my wife, Deb, and I very confident that we choose the right company, Home Power Systems, the best Generator, Generac, as well as having the installation by the best team of installers. A very worthwhile investment for peace of mind!
