Operational Safety Labels Highly Visible

Living in frigid Minnesota we were very impressed with the heating elements for both the oil filter and battery to assure optimal operation. The safety labels are highly visible on all elements. The automatic weekly testing mode takes that task off of our to-do list.

This product provides peace of mind

I had a whole house generator installed for 2 reasons, I have a health issue requiring electricity for my CPAP machine to work and with frequent power outages and I wanted the peace of mind that I would have during the night if my power went out. I had a a whole house generator at y previous residence and it was nice knowing I had power when there ere outages.

Installation Diffacult

The unit comes mostly intact but finding someone to install it is a major headache. called multiple Dealers only a 2 called back and when we said we had already bought the unit they weren't interested in just the installation. We found a friend whose an electrician to do the electrical and had to switch propane suppliers to get the fuel hooked up. it runs well but requires alot of outside work to get it installed.

Great buy

We just purchased a 22k generator for our home. So excited to know that living near the gulf of Mexico during hurricane season that we will not be without electricity because of our Generac. It was easily installed and very easy to set up the settings. But more that anything its a peace of mind that we no longer have to worry about being without lights for days or weeks at a time.

Great Generator

I bought my Generac in the fall planning for next years hurricane season. But to my surprise, shortly after purchasing, we had an ice storm that knocked out power for days. This kept our house warm, power to our refrigerators/freezers and was very thankful that we purchased when we did. The generator performed flawlessly and have since needed it for 2 other storms that also knocked our power for a few days.

Oh my gosh!

I couldn’t live without one of these to back up my house. They are amazing! If you are looking for a generator I can’t recommend these enough! This is my second home purchasing a generator. When there’s a storm these make you rest at ease that you’ll not starve or freeze to death! If you’re a home owner they are a must! Please consider them!

A Dream Come True

For years my wife and I dream of getting a standby generator. Generac was highly recommended and I found the price to be very reasonable. Right now don't know how I survived so long without my generac. It's reliable and meets my power need to,the fullest. My Generac Guardian Series 7043 ian indeed a dream come true.

Generac

I am very pleased with the generator and it's features. The unit came with the transfer switch and the whole package provides a neat and tidy installation. The only issue I have with the overall product is the smart management modules that were installed to shed loads when the generator starts up. They have a buzz that gets louder as time passes. At first the buzz was tolerable, but it gets too loud as time goes by.

To be determined

I am extremely happy and satisfied with the performance and features of the unit. I have a 3600 sq. ft home with 7 tons of A/C. The unit handled everything I could throw at it and didn't miss a beat. However, the unit has a small oil leak at the oil filter mounting base. The installer has changed out the oil filter on 3 occasions thinking it may have been a bad batch of filters. Both he and I think it is most likely an issue with the mounting surface that may be slightly warped as we cannot see any scratches or nicks. We are working with Generac to have this issue resolved and as of yet, it has not. Other than this, I am extremely satisfied and would have put quality as excellent if it were not for this one issue.

Money Well Spent for Peace of Mind!

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.
