22kw- workhorse

Bought the 22kw LP generator in 2016. Just did the regular weekly testing, until night storm took down powerlines in August 2018. Generator came on two minutes later and our outdoors lights, were shining again. House is all electric and was able to do, the daily household chores, plus took care of 40x40 shop, camper and small garage. Ran over 8 hours, before lights were restore, and didn't miss a beat. We were impressed, with the fuel consumption. Our generator is loud, due to echoing off the shop. Glad we had installed it far from the house. After so many hours, will need break-in oil change. Due to insurance purpose, we had an electrician installed the wiring and hooked it up.

This is exactly what we wanted with great service.

From start to finish we were treated with care and respect. The Generac Team had a positive "can do" attitude. They answered all our questions thoroughly, making sure we were satisfied with our new generator. I highly recommend them for your back-up generator needs and more. A big thank you to the Generac Team.

Top quality and price

After getting quotes from various whole house generator brands, the choice was obvious! Generac provides the BEST generator at the BEST price. Therefore obviously the BEST VALUE. I read thru every estimate and warranty information; Generac won hands down!

great features but louder than i expected

just had the system professionally installed. Premier Power out of Jacksonville was great to work with and very knowledgeable. when we did the training I was surprised as to how loud the system is. it happens to be near the master bedroom (no other option), but i figured when we need the power it might be music to our ears. we can always go sleep in the living room. we are very satisfied with both equipment and quality of dealer.

Peace of Mind

My 22kw generator, gives me peace of mind, in the case of a power outage. It is quiet and efficent. With it's automatic activation during an outage ,is one less thing i have worry about during these stressed times. I feel confident and secure knowing we will have electricity in the event of a power outage.

Zero for three when needed

Bought this generator a few years ago and have done annual service. It has failed all three times it was needed. Local dealer has looked at it, but doesn’t have a clue. Do not buy this product, it will let you down when you need it!!! Generac will just send you to a dealer, no ownership. Expensive product, completely useless!!

Havnt been able to get it running as yet.

I can't believe you sell a $4000 generator without the necessary 12V battery to make it work!! If, for safety reasons it couldn't be included in the crate, you could have provided a coupon for one at a store of your choice. This is ridicules'. I pour a slab, have the 800# unit set on the slab, have electrician link it to house and breaker boxes, go to set it up and discover I need a battery. Just can't believe this. Oh, and don't get me started on how you have a zillion different power supply boxes, most of which don't have a necessary cut-off switch included.

22Kw

Generator running on LP is a little loud, but performs well. I would like to see more features for the mobile link: Let me start off by saying, Mobile link is decent for a free application. There are so many things they could have done better though. All the functions on the Generator Control pad for number one. It's linked to my GEN, why can I not control any of the functions of it. Second and most important to me, what load is my generator running at? Can I add more? Now I have to go buy a separate digital load device to monitor. Over all I am happy with the GEN and APP/Software, just wish they would have put more thought into it. Overall Generator runs great with no issues and you definitely can not beat the 10 Year warranty they are offering right now!

Defective from Factory and causing so much stress

Our 26KW generac was delivered and installed May 16th. It ran 3 test cycles and then we had a 90 minute power outage. We immediately noticed oil spillage all over our freshly poured concrete pad. We open the Generac and there was frsh oil all inside. We contacted our dealer and they diagnosed that the seal was improperly installed from the factory. A few later, the technician took everything apart and fix the issue during about 3 hours. We purposely ran the Generac for another hour to ensure there was no oil leakage. We accepted that there may a bit of residue. The machine ran other test cycle and there is oil spillage again. We are so disappointed that our machine seems to be a lemon and has endured this much work and it is barely 1 month old. Now what ? please help

Great compact stand-by generator

Site preparation was simple and the dealer installed this 22kw unit complete with transfer switch and associated wiring in one day. Unit performs self test once a week which gives us piece of mind that it will be available during an actual power outage.
