Storm Insurance Policy

Having a quality home generator in Florida is like having a good insurance policy. It would be best if you never had to use it but being there is a benefit. The thought of finding alternate shelter in the event of a power failure in this day was not something we wanted to do. We looked first at solar and decided against against it as it would not be reliable in a storm. While we had to wait a while for installation it was installed quickly. Very professional people. Location is prefect and it looks nice. Quieter that I expected.

First Home Generator

This is my first purchase of a whole house generator, I can not comment on reliability because installation was just completed. What i can mention is that i liked the fact that i did not have to worry about anything. The sales team was responsible for everything, they called and scheduled the utilities for identification, pulled the permits and scheduled the gas and electric companies to make the required connections. I would also like to mention that the people that did come out to perform maintenance were very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend this product and this company.

Generac whole home backup never need to worry of an outage.

Generac with the whole home switch takes all worries away of a power outage, the monthly self check feature keeps the generator ready for the outage and the mobile link keeps all the information in the palm of your hand. we had Elan Electric install our Guardian 24KW and they did a great job, we would highly recommend Generac and Elan Electric.

It appears to be easy to maintain

Just had my 24 kw generator installed last week. Installers were outstanding. Other than the start run it has not had the opportunity to perform under an emergency situation. I feel really great about this product. Would highly recommend it to anyone David Carpenter

24kW

When I was looking at a new generator for my home - I looked around and searched many reviews. Happy to say that I chose one of the best - Generac. Even with the COVID issue going, on the team from my dealer did a great job in coming out and getting the install and start up done beautifully. The unit is exactly what we had hoped for. Looks smart, easy hook up, with just the right amount of technology added in. Thanks to the sales and install team for giving me a great product at a great price.

Guardian 22 kw , the clear choice

I decided to buy a whole home generator. After reading lots of review Generac was the clear choice. I called Optimize EGS in Baton Rouge, they came out and explained the process. The crew came to install a Guardian 22 kw unit. The were professional and did a great job with the entire process. We ran a test run after the install. I am now prepared for any outages now! No more one month outage after hurricanes!!!!

A superb piece of workmanship

Our Model 7226, 18-Watt generator was installed this morning. This is the best piece of installation work we've ever had done on a home (over the last 54 years we've built four homes). Thomas, Jared, and their crew arrrived on time, went right to work, and three hours later we had a superbly installed generator. It's obvious that these men take great pride in their work. If the generator works as well as it looks, we have one beauty of a product sitting outside our home.

Perfect solution for what we need, just a painful process

After lots of discussion and review, we settled on the 14kW system as we were able to have virtually our entire house with the exception of one of the AC compressors, the basement and one bedroom covered. Not a bad deal for half the price of the larger system. Very happy with the product but the time from order to installation was 9 months (way too long) and now waiting for the WiFi element to be properly configured (another weeks wait).

Working out the bugs...we'll see

Installation was excellent, operation so far has been spotty. In the snowstorm this week the unit failed to fire when the power went out and when later manually started went into safe mode tripping unit circuit breakers so no power went to our home. We had no power for 30 hours. The service tech is ordering parts so we will see how it goes. This was the third instance of failure to start, one in maintenance mode and one other in a power failure. I will update this review once we have operation consistency.

Cleanly designed product with room for feature improvement

The installation and initial burn-in went very well. We ran our ground source heat pump in A/C mode to give it a good test and the 26kw unit was up to the task. We are confident that we can travel without concerns for our pipes freezing while we're away. It could be improved if there were a way on the App to configure it to send email to the owner when a new item is entered into the History Log. As I write this I note that the unit has been off-line via wifi for the past 10 days and I had no idea.
