I had a 22kW Generator installed, model: 7043-11. During the simulated power outage the generator come on after 5-6 seconds. We had our first schedule test run last Saturday afternoon and it ran perfectly. I feel confident that we will be protected during a storm. This model also comes with built in wifi and mobile link features!

My husband and I recently had the 22K Guardian home backup generator installed and we are extremely pleased with it and the dealer that installed it was very professional with us from the time we contacted him until the installation was complete. The peace of mind is worth every penny.

I hate losing electrical power — no heat or cooling, no lights, no Internet. In the past, I’ve lived in areas where power could go off for days. No more! I had a 22 kw Generac installed a year ago. The peace of mind it provides is priceless. When the lights go out, I count to 6, and I hear the generator start. Then I count to 15, and the lights come on. During the last year, we’ve had four multi-hour power outages. The Generac has never failed: Within 25 seconds, power is back on every time. I will never live without a whole home generator again.

Have lost power four times in the last twelve months due to trees falling on utility lines and taking power out. Decided to purchase a whole house backup generator and after researching products, chose the Generac 22kw. It has a quick response as soon as power loss is detected, can supply power to run heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer, City inspector said the installation was first class and was impressed with running of power cable from electrical box to the generator’s location on the opposite side of the house near the gas meter. Natural gas connection was anchored with multiple safety cut offs of the gas for safety, if needed.. WiFi monitoring allows instant update on status of the generator. The generator is the lifeline to the house and annual maintenance provides peace of mind and assurance the generator is ready to go when needed. Great investment for our home and our lifestyle.

Installed January 2021 (almost 4-years ago) and already have 231+ run hours since. We have this paired with the 200-amp automatic transfer switch. We also have PWRView installed which has helped us monitor and track down our power hungry forgotten gremlins. Where we live, we have frequent power outages, sometimes for weeks. Generac 24kw model 7210 is peace of mind. We actually are in the middle of a giant widespread power outage in the Greater Seattle Area right now (power outage started November 19, 2024). Thanks to Generac, we have 100% of all our electric conveniences without interruption. Paired with Starlink Internet, we have an Uninterruptible Life plus Full Connectivity. We have the Guardian 24kw exercise weekly for 15-minutes (12-hrs runtime annually as proactive exercise). Weekly exercise ensures the oil keeps the engine lubricated. I changed oil at 50-hrs and again at 200-hrs. I keep extra filters + oil in-stock so I can maintain during a prolonged outage. More than enough power to operate our entire extra large home AND charge my electric car with ease. With 4,000 sq ft and 2 kitchens - we can run everything without worry about rationing: 6+ refrigerator/freezers, 2-pumps for septic, electric heat, multiple large 80"+ plus sound system throughout, jacuzzi tub, plus 3 large portable a/c units in the summer. The Guardian doesn't ever hiccup. Our day time idle power draw is 2kw and overnight it's about 650-watts, which means the generator idles most of the time at <10% power draw. Thanks to the Guardian with advanced fuel management, we burn less than 1/2-gallon/hour of propane or less. Economies of Scale, by sizing up our generator large enough to operate everything on-demand we also benefit from the improved fuel-efficiency-per-watt of larger generators. We buried a 1k gallon propane tank so we never run out of propane during a power outage. This provides us about 90-days of generator fuel supply. We have a second 1k gallon propane tank to ensure we have plenty of furnace heat + hot water. Our typical annual fuel consumption is about 1k gallons. During one particularly bad snow storm, we had 18+ inches of snow and ran out of propane plus no electricity in 15 *F weather. Before the next winter I had this Guardian installed. I swore never again and over-engineered to ensure that. In our area, we have gone as long as 3-weeks without utility power and about 4+ weeks between propane fuel resupply due to deep blizzard snow. I also took the time to re-balance/re-wire the breaker panels when installing this generator. Typical USA homes have two 120v power legs. In our house, 90% of our power consumption was on one leg which meant our generators had to run twice as hard with half the power on the second leg completely wasted. By re-wiring our breakers specifically to re-balance all our electric throughout our large house we were able to improve our efficiency immensely. Our electric load is now evenly balanced which allows our generator to operate even more efficiently. Thanks to the convenience of automatic standby, I have been able to travel for work during inclement weather and the generator powered the whole house without worry. The generator has performed flawlessly while I have been away from home. Zero training required for the family once installed professionally. The Guardian is very quiet, even so I had it installed out by the barn. This means that we often lose power without realizing it because we can't hear the generator inside our house. The Guardian takes about 30-seconds to startup before supplying stable clean power. For those critical circuits (wifi, security system, routers, starlink, computers) I have installed several battery backups to bridge the 30-seconds. Due to our jobs (technology + healthcare), we require 24x7x365 connectivity and utilities. Our Guardian has empowered us to remain connected and impactful while working remote during the worst storms.

The woman owned company/dealer installed a Generac 14KW Guardian with WiFi and Surge Breaker. The install team were very knowledgable and friendly. They demonstrated great attention to detail and ensured the install was done correctly. I live in a high wind area, so having the generator provides peace of mind. My Dad who was in the electrical wholesale business for over 66 years swears by Generac for the quality of their product and their customer service. I've already referred several friends to the dealer.

My Guardian 22 KW Standby Generator is deficient in the manufacturing process and Quality Control Inspection and acceptance testing. After installation by a Licensed Electrical and Generac approved installer upon initial startup and testing process the electrical Contractor was unable to get the unit to operate properly. Engine started within seconds of turning on however during the testing process numerous issues occurred resulting in a lengthy run times consuming LP fuel due to numerous electrical connections not being able to remain in place (spade type fitting being the biggest issue resulting in repeated protective covering having to be removed and again excessive time spent as well as excessive fuel burn to identify the issue and multiple locations. Recommend that these spade connections be crimped a bit more to preclude the inadvertent disconnection during shipping and or startup and test in place situations. Other than this inconvenience all went well after corrective action taken and the unit work very well. Just hoping that we will never have to use it...But it is there in case.

Purchased from Rescom Electric-Prairieville, LA. Installers arrived right on time and did a nice, neat job. They came back promptly the next day to test run and explain the remote monitoring. The system worked as described during the test. Living in Louisiana, hurricanes are a way of life and I was tired of fighting portable generators. My subdivision is full of Generac products and everyone seems satisfied. Glad I have it, but hope I do not have to use very often!

I used Generac website to find a certified installer and found one in my neighborhood. They came out and done a whole house evaluation to determine my power load and suggested I needed a 22K model 7043 along with a 200 amp smart module for my 2645 sq foot home . I can’t stress enough you should use a certified installer to cover the Generac warranty. I have seen some of the bad reviews due to shabby institutions and they have nothing but problems which are not covered under warranty and the people had to pay to have a certified Generac installer to fix the problem. If they would have done that from the start their wouldn’t been any issues. I used McQuagge Electric Company here in ST. Cloud,Fl and there installation included the 3in hurricane pad, battery, 200 amp automatic transfer switch, along with a 200 amp smart module plus permits. Since I already had Blossman gas bury my 250 gallon propane tank for my spa heater I had Blossman run a line to the generator also. McQuagge Electric Company even checks to make sure the propane line is correctly installed before they even do a test run. They check anything and everything to make sure there are no issues, very professional company. The cost of the generator, hurricane pad, battery, and smart module cost as much as the installation. Which was not cheap but you Get what you pay for . Since the complete installation is not done yet I cannot comment on how good the unit works. I will do that later. I called Generac and received a 7 year warranty since they were running a ad on TV.

I originally considered 26 kW whole-house generator, but I settled for 10 kW unit due to location of natural gas meter compared to optimal location for generator based upon recommendation of independent installer. Larger generator would have required 150+ feet of 2" gas pipe — 10 kW unit easily connected to existing 1" gas line. I was able to service everything in 2400 sq ft home other than washer, electric dryer, electric range, and central air conditioning compressor from included 16 circuit automatic transfer switch. Power restored in 30-45 seconds after simulated outage (flip 100 amp breaker in main box feeding transfer switch). I appreciate the fact that transfer switch waits for power to stabilize after utility power comes back on before switching back.
