Runs great

We live in rural Eastern Ontario in Canada and got our 7.5 Power Pact installed in June of this year. It runs perfectly every week for and 10 minutes in test mode and the other day we lost power for the first time for 4 hours. The unit ran well and allowed us to have our furance run and provide heat and also some other outlets in the house for lights etc. Unit is great and we are very happy with it.

Amazing, compact and quiet unit

Arrived undamaged and with all items that were to be included. Propane conversion and hook-up went smoothly as did electrical hook-up and testing. Much better than my housed portable unit with 6 circuit manual transfer switch. No more snow and rain to deal with to get unit online. Wife is VERY happy.

Quality, great service

This is my 3rd Generac...I have had great service from these generators. The installation is very easy and straight forward. I like this new smaller size...when you just need a few lights and such. I will be purchasing another for my son's off-grid cabin as a back-up to his solar. Thanks again Generac.

Happy with purchase

Yesterday 3/21/24 I had my 7.5w generator installed at my townhouse in Overland Park Kansas. I decided to get the generator in January after I lost power for the 2nd time in 6 months. I think it’s one of the best decisions I ever made for my home. Even though it is the smallest generator wattage it will work great for my townhome . It covers everything except my AC and stove and that’s fine with me since I live alone and don’t need much to survive if my power goes out. I know most people who have gotten a generator have gotten the higher wattages and that’s great if you feel that is what you need, however, I was originally told the 7.5w would not support much but it did! I’m glad I believed in myself and choose the 7.5w generator Also wanted to give a shout out to the people at Generators for Sale in Kansas City Mo. who put in the generator and how awesome they were. They were on time and were professional and just great men. When they were done with installation and we ran the test to make sure generator would come on can you believe it, it did not. However, they found the issue (I think it was a wire in one of the new circuits not connected) and got it working again. Can’t thank them enough for everything they did. They also went over how the generator worked and answered all my final questions I had. Very happy with the whole experience because honestly I was nervous about doing it. Now I’m glad I did and would recommend anyone thinking about getting a generator to do it

Great features

With COVID we had to wait 11 months to receive product. Once received got electric company, plumber and electrician very quickly. Everything has been approved by inspections and also quickly. Had a trial run and everything is perfect. Would recommend to anyone looking for a transfer generator. Very pleased with product.

Great investment in peace of mind!

Arrived to my door in perfect condition. Installation was simple and straightforward. Instructions were clear and precise to my specific model. The auto transfer switch is high quality and very easy to wire. Only thing I’m not crazy about is the screw down lid. I wish it had hinges and a lockable latch. Oh and it’s louder than I expected. Overall well made, attractive and functional. Worth every penny.

Don't Waste Your Money

Don't let your electrician talk you into this model. After one year, it shuts down completely for maintenance. January in Wyoming is not the time for a generator to shut itself down. It has taken 6 months to get a certified Generac maintenance electrician to perform maintenance, IN the meantime, the system went to "wiring problem" light, then no lights at all. The mother board is fried in the darn thing. No I am working with a certified Generac repair electrician from another state, because everyone here in Wyoming is too booked or won't bother with this small of a unit. I have little hope in having a working generator before winter hits again. Oh - and it can't handle having all 8 breakers assigned. First blizzard with a power outage and it took me three days to get it started. Had to have the electrician come back and take two breakers off so that it would even start up. Waste of time and money and emotions.

Generac 7.5 generator with transfer switch

Great price for what we needed with 8 circuits 60 amps of power and a auto transfer switch it's hard to beat . were able to keep food cold the house warm during winter ,lighting , tv, internet , micro wave oven , coffee maker, sump pump (rain storms) Runs as it should very easy to hook up good instruction easy to follow. We had only used it once for 3 hours of a power outage it's nice not to worry about not having power . Also the weekly test run works as it should we are very pleased with this product quality and craftsman ship a well built product 5 stars for sure .

7.5 KW INSTALL

7.5KW I did some of the install myself. i poured the mounting slab with six bags of cement. What was difficult was getting the anchor bolts to line up. bigger holes with larger washers would help. I had an electrician and HVLP contractor complete the natural gas and electrical panel. I am pretty skilled at most home projects, but this was "above my pay grade", between the natural gas codes and main circuit breaker box I recommend trained professionals. The generator works great!! and i am pleased with my purchase. my only suggestion would be to allow for a variable exercise mode, rather than the fixed 7day mode.

Nice alternative to portable generator

Good quality generator to run essential appliances during power outages, transfer switch supplied with unit seems to be a toy, decided not to use, will swap manually. Instructions with generator are sufficient for self installation. Also had to install hour meter to track usage.
