The Generac 22KW whole house generator sits quietly and blends in looking very aesthetically pleasing but during the weekly testing and in case of a power outage, it powers up and for a real electricity outage, it switches over and provides power for the entire house until the utility is back and stable. It is relatively quiet while it is running and while you are inside, unless you are in the area nearest the generator, you don't even notice it running. I provides great peace of mind and works exactly as advertised.

Even though we've only gotten to use our generator for 3 hours since installation, my husband and I appreciate the fact that if and when we do lose power, we don't have to drag out the portable genny, fill her up with gas and oil and repeat that every 4 hours. We look at this as "our retirement dollars at work"! So glad we decided to have Family Electric install this for us!!!

I know the generator runs weekly, but I have never heard it! It just sits quietly, waiting for the power to go out. Earlier this month we had a large storm, and lost power. Within a minute, the generator had started, and all I had to do was re-set the clock on the microwave. Now all the neighbors are being very friendly! This is probably the best addition I could have made to our house.

We live on acreage , obviously in a rural area , with a deep water well . The main reason for putting in a generator was to assure water to the house . Question : In the case of a serious earth quake which could knock out our gas line that feeds fuel to the generator , what back up system would you suggest ? Thanks , Ron Gill

This is the first review I have ever written in my life. The day after Thanksgiving 2016 we had an ice storm, power was off for 6 days! the day after Christmas 2016 we had another ice storm, this time power off for 7 days! both times we stayed at my parents house (they have a Generac 20K) it ran non-stop every day, both times. We have since purchased a Generac 22K for our home, and it has worked great.

This 22 KW unit is by far the BEST generator out there period ! It is a user friendly easy to operate Unit, an absolute Work Horse that effortlessly powers your WHOLE HOME with EVERYTHING turned on even my 4 Ton dual compressor Trane AC Unit wide open calling for 50 degrees. We ran all appliances, Washer,Dryer,Well,Stove with all Burners ON ! The most we could make my home draw was 84 AMPS ! This Unit can take 100 AMPS ! BUY IT !! I sleep great knowing no Storm will bother me.! Thanks GUYS ! LOVE IT !

We installed a Generac generator alongside our country home in Wisconsin to provide a source of heat in the cold winters whenever the power went out. Now that we're living in Florida we installed another Generac 22Kw recognizing the possibility of hurricanes. When our power was knocked out this past October by Hurricane Matthew, the generator automatically immediately kicked in and ran continuously for 50 hours until the power came back on - never missed a beat. Would highly recommend this product & well worth the cost of installation. Also provides great peace of mind.

Since installing the generator we have had 3 power outages. It is so much better to have an automatic turn on with enough power to run everything. Also with a service contract we do not have to worry about taking care of our generator and it will always be there when needed.

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.

So far, so good. It's installed and is showing that it's ready to go. It's been in for about three weeks and does it's automatic test each week. I feel guilty wanting a power failure to happen so i can be sure it does exactly what it's supposed to do. It will eventually happen and I'm ready for it. Worth the price and piece of mind to keep me and my family up and running.
