Peace of Mind for all situations

We live in a remote location and our home is primarily all electric. We wanted a solution to be able to keep the house running like normal, even if we were away for extended periods. This model gave us the ability to not worry about what would and wouldn’t work during an outage. We already had a short few hour outage and everything worked like normal while we were away. We only knew there was an outage because the neighbour texted us to say our generator kicked in and all was good. Now that is peace of mind!

Lived off of the generator 6 times within the first year

In the first year after installing this generator, I had to use it 6 times. Once during the El Dorado Fire (gender reveal fire). It was 110 degrees out and someone set off explosives in a field nearby which ended up burning our mountain community for over a week. During that time there was no power from the grid. My generator kicked in and provided power for me, enough to keep all of the refrigerators running, A/C, well pump and TV. I don't know what I would have done without it, as it was over 100 degrees out and I couldn't open any windows due to extreme amounts of smoke from the nearby fire. I also rely on electricity to pump water in the house from the well. I was able to use all of my appliances. This generator has been a wise investment for me.

Does exactly what it is supposed to.

I installed the generator and transfer switch myself last summer. The installation instructions and registration requirements were clear and straight forward and installation went well. The generator worked perfectly during several small storms in 2020 and ran continuously for 5 days during the 2021 Texas Deep Freeze. After the storm I checked the oil and it was still full even after the extended run time. I changed the oil myself and the design of the oil drain makes it easy and clean. There must be a group of bright and practical people in the design and manufacturing departments that make good products like this possible. Please keep making these generators in the USA and do not fall into the Made in China cheap junk cesspool.

Muffler Problem

After 435 hours of protection and 5 years of service while using a 22 kw NG model G0065512 generator after hurricane Ida in Louisiana the muffler ruptured at 1 o'clock in the morning. Generator continued running at a very high level of noise. At daylight, in a rain storm, with an umbrella, I removed panels and removed the muffler, it had ruptured at the inlet above the cooling fan for the generator sending metal fragments into the plastic fan blade. Fan was damaged but still usable. I made a repair to the muffler and re-installed. First time I actually needed generator to perform this is reason for poor quality rating.

Works Fantastic! Does the complete house (over 5,000 sqft)

No need to worry about power outages anymore. Esposito's Generator Solutions did the sizing, install and configuration. They were excellent - handled everything from beginning to end. Great product!! with its intelligent load balancing so virtually thw whole house has electricity.

Product operates like a champ!

Excellent product, installation completed in two and a half days. Wi-Fi easy to install with home signal. Had to upgrade the home router to get the signal but no issue after the upgrade. Technician was very friendly and explained/demonstrated unit, warranty, and optional plans available to extend the warranties. He also went over the maintenance the installation company provides. We are very happy with the whole process from purchase to final installation and how it powers our house, if/when we should lose power. Second Generac we have had. First one was in our RV. Highly recommend Generac products.

Upgraded to Whole House

We had a Generac installed in 2005, but it wasn't a whole house generator. At the time we were traveling 6 months a year and didn't think we needed a whole house generator. Now retired and spending all our time at home, it became necessary to upgrade to a whole house generator. Metro Electric, once again did a great job!

Best Decision Ever

I have now owned my Generac 22KW generator for a little over a year now and knock on wood, I've had it kick on only a few times. When it was called on it worked flawlessly and was such a comfort to know that I wasn't required to do anything on my part. Here in Alabama it's not uncommon for serious storms to happen almost any month of the year. Not having to drag out a generator, extension cords and gasoline is not something I'll ever miss. Great product.

Generac was my final choice because of it's known reliability.

Unit was installed , tested and ready for service. Have yet to have need for it's service but I have witnessed the "automatic exercise" which started without any problem and right on the time programed. I feel confident the next power outage will not be of any inconvenience to me.

Works as Advertised

I have had this new whole home generator for about two months now and all the weekly auto tests are performed as scheduled automaticly. I have performed the monthly transfer tests and they have have worked flawlessly. It has also covered two power outages and restored power to my house within 12 seconds, both times. I love my Generac.
