Moved - Stayed with Generac

I had the same model (22KW - 7043 N/G) at my previous residence. It was in Indialantic, FL - on the barrier island. I've recently moved, and wanted to get another Generac. Since my second home was approximately the same size, it was a no-brainer. Living on the Space Coast - Melbourne/Cocoa Beach, FL., having a generator is a bit more important than it would be in some other parts of the country. Not being a statistician, I had to roughly calculate the value of this over time. I've basically figured out that when combining lost items in the fridge/freezer (times 2), and the expected mold/mildew that would likely set in before this snowbird to return home, this purchase would pay for itself easily over the course of it's life expectancy. While we've not had any hurricanes yet this year, I've already lost power twice due to thunderstorms. Those interruptions were short, but it's nice to know that had they been any longer, life would have continued without missing a beat. I do like all of the features of this unit, and have great peace of mind knowing that it's ready to go when needed.

Had our Generac installed 4 years ago and still going strong.

As my wife and I age we have been doing what we can to make our home easier to live in as we get ready for retirement. Our county in Maine is experiencing some strong winds from an unusual direction for us and causing large area blackouts. We our one of a few with this type of generator on our and other than the internet being disrupted for a couple of we have no disruption in our daily routine. Years into this and still one of the best buys we ever made. Pam & Al

Easily powers my whole home

I live in north Louisiana, and while we don't get the beating the guys do down south from hurricanes we do get a ton of tornados, high winds, and torrential storms, and we lose power all the time, often for days, due to our antiquated power infrastructure. Instead of waiting on AEP to fix themselves, I decided to take steps to correct the problem myself and get a Generac 24kw whole home generator installed by Precision Mechanical Power out of Bossier City Louisiana. They did an incredible job, and the generator easily powers my whole 4k square foot home including 2 central ACs. I work from home and have a older Dad who has health issues, so the peace of mind this generator gives me is amazing. The value to cost ratio was perfect, and I highly recommend Generac and Precision Mechanical to anyone in the Northwest LA area!

Best Decision Ever

I have now owned my Generac 22KW generator for a little over a year now and knock on wood, I've had it kick on only a few times. When it was called on it worked flawlessly and was such a comfort to know that I wasn't required to do anything on my part. Here in Alabama it's not uncommon for serious storms to happen almost any month of the year. Not having to drag out a generator, extension cords and gasoline is not something I'll ever miss. Great product.

A MUST HAVE

This is our second whole home generator. We upgraded our home and chose to upgrade our Generac, and so glad we did! Love the Wi-Fi Feature, it's so quiet, and safety features are a bonus. Shortly after install, our power was out for over 12 hours, on a hot summer day, however, our Generac powered right up. If you live in the country or have someone with medical concerns that make it difficult to move them from place to place, don't go another day without getting one installed!

We are pleased with the Generac.

Since the Generator was installed, we have not lost electrical power to our home .However, we expect the Generator to perform as advertised. We were surprised at the number times the installer had to come back to get the Mobile Link feature operational. All in all, we are very pleased with the price, product and warranty.

Beautiful Unit

There are several questionable installers but once I found a Pro, they were great. Wifi receiver is much too weak and will not stay connected. This 14kw replaced an older 13kw and we know we will be ready for any outage. I have been unable to get the 7 or 10 year warranty promised but not giving up, thank you.

Long lead time but finally proteccted

We lost power twice in the Texas "deep freeze' in Feb 2021, which caused damage to water heaters and other plumbing. As a result, we ordered a new Generac Generator in April from Grasten. Their pricing was $1,500 less than the first vendor we talked to. They finally installed it in early August, due to high demand. I didn't realize that they had so many steps to install the unit. First they came out and placed the unit, then the plumbers came to hook up the gas line, then the electrician came to install the transfer switches and hook up the electrical connections to the house and finally a tech came out to check everything and set it up to run. Seemed like a lot of scheduling calls. Wifi connecting is not completed yet becasue our home wifi did not reach the unit, so I needed to order a wifi booster/extender and then complete the wifi setup on my own. Feels good to be protected now and looking forward to great service from Grasten.

Commending the generator installer electricians

I would like to commend the two electricians who installed our generator, Nick Blakeman and Jake Blakeman, from Great Lakes Electrical Contracting. They arrived on time, worked with the plumber and afterwards with professional efficiency. When the job was done they went through some features and directions and suggestions with my wife and I, and set us up with our wifi and the app to use. They were a pleasure to deal with in every way.

Peace of Mind

Our Generac generator was just installed. Installation was quick and professional. It seems that the operation of the unit will be pretty much self-sufficient. While we haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, I am confident that it will perform just as we were told. We are usually one of the last homes to get power back because of our rural location so the peace of mind knowing that our sump pumps, furnace, well, and freezers will run in the event of a power outage is immense.
