Peace of mind is priceless

We've all been there. Lights out and no idea when it will be restored. With our increased dependence on reliable energy loss of power is serious. The night our Generac was installed I told my wife I had never had the feeling of complete peace of mind after purchasing a product or service like that I experienced after our Generac was installed. We've lost power twice since installing it three months ago. The feeling in the house is 'oh well" compared to a panic we experienced before. I highly recommend installing a Generac, not only does it provide energy, it also provides a level of peace of mind few will ever know. The guys and BNK that installed it are terrific. They are polite, knowledgable and cleaned up the job site beautifully.

First generator purchase

Since this was our first purchase of a standby generator, we have since been extremely happy with our purchase and install of it. We have the weekly time that the test run function is set, so that we are usually around to audibly hear it start up and run. The longest time we have been without power has been 3 hours so far. Since we are a total electric house, this isn't a luxury, it is a necessity for us to have.

Peace of mind

We live in an area where power interruptions are frequent. The extreme cold that we experience in the winter could cause a lot for potential freeze damages in the house (water pipes, hydronic heating system,..). Recently we had a 6h power outage, the generator kicked on automatically and started humming. All was working in the house, we watched a movie while our neighbors were waiting anxiously in the dark for the power to be restored.

Peace of mind

Although we have had only a couple occasions to rely on the Generac, it has been helpful. We no longer have to go out into the storm to hook up the portable one. The Generac smoothly operates and is much quieter than the portable was. We are assured if we are not home, everything will be fine.

almost one year anniversary

So far, so good. We have had a couple of short term outages and everything worked as expected. Hopefully we will never have to use it for an extended time but it is comforting to know it is there. We are a retired farm couple who decided to stay in our older home in the country rather than move to town. A little pricy, but definitely worth the piece of mind it provides.

Reliable but loud

Prior to this generator I had a carrier 42KW. You would think a larger generator would be a lot louder but you would be wrong. This generator so far has service the Basic needs at 22kW. I built my new home directly across the street from my old residence. When power went out the generator was so loud it woke me up. I went outside to see if I could hear the old generator running. I literally had to walk across the street up to about 20 feet from the home before I could hear the old generator running over the new one. I guess when your power goes out you don't mind the noise. It would be a huge improvement if they could insulate their generator better to reduce noise.

my personal review

this unit was a replacement for a 18kw generac , it only lasted for less than 500 hours less than 8 years old. current one 22kw on its first weekend run, it started to have a slight surge. found the air filter had to much fire retardant on it changed out for new now its ok. hope this one lasts longer!

It has been a lifesaver

Less than two weeks after having our whole house generator installed, a wind storm passed through our state and knocked out our power for three days. Having two 80+ year old in-laws with medical conditions living with us made the power provided by the generator a literal life saver. I would highly recommend the Generac generator. My wife says it is the best investment that we have made in the last 25 years.

Looks great!

I am impressed with the size and how it is able to take care of my whole house. We have had two times that it has came on due to a storm and the other FPL. Everything that we had on before we lost power came back on as soon as the generator turned on. Love it!
