Peace of mind

My Generac Guard was installed a couple of days ago. The installation and startup went great -- impressive! I now feel peace of mind about the potential for power outages. Excellent representative - workers were professional, efficient, and great on explaining product to me. I like the look of the unit.

Why does a 180 amp generator have 100 amp breaker

We installed this product, waiting for final startup. The generator has a 100 amp breaker yet is sold as a 22kw whole house backup. Granted that we probably don't peak over 100 amps very often but I was not clear that the product was limiting itself.

Great product!

We live in a rural area and had a few multi-hour outages over the years, one that was rather inconvenient. Now we have peace of mind. I did the low-voltage wiring for load-shedding relays on the transfer switch and the installation instructions were great. An electrician and the gas company took care of the hookups. The dealer did the final startup and tests, all went smoothly. Generator is relatively quiet and handles everything we need! Just added a couple of battery backup UPSs for the computer and TV and all is protected and power outages are a thing of the past. Now the funny part of the story. The day the generator was delivered, I told the guy that we had pretty reliable power and rarely had outages, which I attributed to our neighborhood underground service. Just after he set the generator on the pad, the power went out, for 18 hours!! I could only look at the generator and think this won’t happen again...and I should have ordered it a week earlier. The underground service, though impervious to falling trees and car accidents, still can fail and took a lot longer to find and fix the issue.

Great generator, be careful who installs

First off, let me say the generator and the crew who installed would get 10 stars if possible. Make sure installer has someone to handle all permits and follow through as we had to run on generator all night due to permit not being sent to power company

Unit has great value and install was great.

We decided to have the unit installed for the peace of mind that with the weather getting worse we will not be without power. Looked at many units and the Generac 22K was the best we found for all the quality to construction and the ability to have our whole house powered if we have a power outage in our area. With more and more hurricanes and winter weather more extreme it give us the power that will keep our home running. The install by Charleston Electric went great. They set up all the timing for the unit to be installed, the gas to be hooked up and then the next day came out to get the unit set up and running. Look forward to many years of service keeping our family safe.

so pleased with my new generator

My generator was installed today by a great team, including an electrician.They worked very efficiently and explained all the features of this generator afterwards. I had it installed for my piece of mind. I hope I never lose power but, if I do, my entire house is covered and, the best thing, is that I never have to do a thing. It's all automatic!

Well worth every penny....

It wasn't the cheapest generator install at close to $10k, but after this latest Noreaster in Virginia with the high winds knocking out power, it was worth every penny. We decided to invest in one after repeated power loss during times when we shouldn't have lost power at all. My 3800 sq ft house is powered by the 22kw model powered by unlimited natural gas from my meter. The power was out for almost 2 full days. While everybody else without a generator in my area had to move into a hotel, we were enjoying all the amenities, minus cable of course, without interruption. With kids, it paid dividends and then some to be know that we had unlimited power for as long as it took them to get the power back. With well water and sump pumps, you absolutely need power or the house is essentially useless. Thanks Generac!

GENERAC 24kW Home Backup Generator - 7210

The GENERAC 24kw backup generator provides home coverage in the case of an outage. Boyland Electric of Laytonsville, MD staff provided excellent service during decision and installation process. The installation, by Boyland Electric, exceeded our expectations as they arrived on time each day and kept the working area clean of debris throughout the installation. Many thanks to the office and installation staff.

Two Homes …. Two Units

We purchased two 22Kw Whole Home Transfer Switch Back-up with Mobile Link Model: #7043 Natural Gas units in 2023. One unit for our newly built second home in south central Wisconsin and one unit for our home in SW Ohio. Both homes are approximately the same size square footage (approx. 3000sf). We could have gone with an 18Kw unit at each location, but for $500 more we went with the larger capacity unit. The WI unit has already saved us twice from power outages. Like clockwork within 8 seconds the unit kicked in and our entire home, including air conditioning, was engaged for hours like normal. We have the Mobile Link App on both units and we monitor both units in one view on our phones. Both units test weekly like normal for 5 min. The only issue we have had is the WI unit had a software firmware update that kicked the unit to RED and had to be manually reset once on-site. Hoping that will not repeat with future updates. We are very happy with these Generac products and would highly recommend for peace of mind especially with second homes where you are not there full-time.

Back up power.

I bought this home generator (10k) for I live out in the country. This is my 2nd generac generator. My first one I bought back in 2000 (4k) portable to run furnace and a few lights and it still runs by the way. This will run everything in my home minis central air. It is a back up in case of emergency outage. I trust the people who manufacture this product and I would purchase again if I needed to. A+
