No more power worries

I just had this whole house generator installed to my delight. It works seamlessly with household with low noise level. I can run everything in my household without interruption. The only difficulty was using their APP since we are not very Teck savvy.

Peace of Mind and Reliable

Having experienced "Snowmageddon" in North Dallas a few years ago and without power backup, this new Generac whole home generator brings incredible peace of mind. It's good to know it is always there ready to take over should the power grid go down. The only reason I gave it a 4-rating is because of the delay between power failure and the generator starting. I wanted Tesla's system mainly because of its ability to take over within milliseconds of losing power unlike Generac. If power is out for more than a second, then there are several clocks that have to be reset. I've had days when the power blinked multiple times thereby requiring clock resetting each time. Very annoying. If Generac would develop a battery unit to incorporate with the generator that would bridge the gap between the grid failing and the generator taking over, then I would definitely give it a 5-star rating. That's my only complaint, and it really isn't a Generac fault since it operates as designed. I just wish the design would change a tad to eliminate the time gap.

Seamless operation during power outage

Weekly test runs are going fine: starts on time and idles low after a short run at full speed (so it is much quieter). First power outage and the transfer switch, generator and power supply started, ran and shut off seamlessly. Impressive. The only improvement would be if it were not that loud: can be heard clearly in the house and even might affect level of speaking or certainly could affect getting to sleep.

Saved our sanity!

Bought this over the winter and have already lost power for three days. Generac saved our food in freezers and fridges. Last year we lost everything. Like the AP so if you are away from home you can see it if it is running. Also since we are on a well, Generac kept the water running! Lights, water, kitchen, wifi all good.

Never be with out

We have 2 homes. One is a small ranch in the country that has 10 other people on the power leg. It is not uncommon to have power outages frequently. During an ice storm power was out for 2 weeks. Not mine! The other home is a lake home which also takes a long time for power to return to normal. Bottom line is we will not have home with out a generator. We use the 22K on propane. The ranch has 2 large a/c units, 2 upright freezers and 2 refrigerators. The generator runs the whole house just fine.

If you have the extra money, put it to GOOD use!

We have had the unit for about 10 months. It now tests twice a month for 10 minutes self checking and keeping the oil moving around. We had an outage the week after it was installed while we were away. I received a notice of it working, via the app, as it was supposed to do. We have had two other outages last year. The unit performed perfectly. So far so good! I had a year of complimentary wireless coverage. I just signed up for the next year. While not really a cheap benefit, it is nice to have. I may change to testing once a month later. We used to have outages every other month around my neighborhood due to weather, trees and old lines. Consumers has done a good job of cleaning up the lines and overhanging trees. The outages are fewer now, but as an older person, I now join the group of people that are more susceptible to cold, heat and less flexibility in dealing with the inconveniences of power outages. Our Generac should make things easier!

Has Never Worked - multiple faults and service

Installed two months - 1 power outage - unit failed. dealer has been out 8-10x. new motor, new wiring harness. every sensor has displayed multiple faults. total piece of junk. I have had a green mobile link status 2 days out of 2 months. At this point Generac should be refunding me my money and removing this unit! it has never worked. think there are serious electrical / computer issues with this brand. all my neighbors that have generac told me it took several months to get them sorted.

Fantastic insurance for inconvenience

At my age of 67, I am glad to finally get an install a Generac standby generator. Even if the power just goes out for a few hours, it will be much easier to put up with the inconvenience. Basically there won't be an inconvenience. I believe standby generators are worth every penny.

Seamless

I bought this magnificently engeneered machine in February this year. My neighbours and friends made fun of me, saying that I didn't need a generator for the entire house. The thing is, I work from home online. No power = no revenue. I own five pets. No power = no drinking water because I have a surface well. No power = no drinking water (for humans too), no flushing, no showering nor bathing. Since the installation a month ago, we have had five power outages which would have cost me five days of work. The transition to the generator power is absolutely seamless, in fact, I was not aware of any of those outages, happily working away in my home office...I learned through the neighbours' complaining about the length of time it took to reestablish power. On a couple of occasions, I could hear a 'lawnmower' going and thought to myself 'who on earth would mow the lawn under three feet of snow! Only then did I realize that the lawnmower noise was actually the generator doing its job! lol I am so glad I did not listen to my neighbours and friends! I rated four stars only because there was a set back with the installation date.

Generac Generator

In my previous residence, I installed a Generac generator, and its reliability has consistently been exceptional. Furthermore, the maintenance process is straightforward and hassle-free. I have encountered no issues whatsoever with the Generac generator, making it a highly recommended investment.
