This product blends in to the side of the house

We had our Generac Generator installed yesterday May the 8, 2017 and the guys who installed it were very helpful with answering all questions. We loose power quite often and this will help so not having to run around in the dark and can still cook and what ever we need to do without loss of power.

Brand new and still not working

I had an electrician install this generator brand new out of the box. It started right up and worked fine, however we couldn't get the Wifi module to work. I called Mobilelink and we couldn't figure it out, so I had to have a service tech come out to trouble shoot. Turns out the wifi module wasn't even plugged in. So we plugged it in, connect to the internet and did a software update that ultimately fried the control unit, so now the generator won't even start. The control unit is now on order and am waiting with a very expensive giant paperweight sitting in my yard. To make matters worse, there is currently a heat wave with rolling power outages and my generator is just sitting there doing nothing except burning a hole in my pocket.

New generator - ready for the elements

Items I find pleasing with this product: - neat, compact appearance - power - WiFi compatibility - Ability to power up on a biweekly basis to ensure readiness - Safety features - sensor technology to differentiate real outages from brown outs All in all, i'm very happy with my purchase.

Peace of Mind for Homeowners

We lived and worked in Afghanistan for almost a decade and experienced the "norm" of needing backup power generation. With Hurricanes, Ice Storms, and concerns about rolling blackouts from unstable utilities, the concept of NOT having backup power was foolish. We studied the problem and solutions for nearly 90 days before we arrived at the best solution, which was a Whole House Generator from Generac. The price was great, the quality of manufacturing (in the USA) was exceptional, and the unit works exactly as expected from the very first power loss test. Having worked with HUGE commercial diesel generators, we were also pleased with the sound level, and low carbon footprint from the Natural Gas supply. Now we can rest knowing we are covered in an emergency - and I love the 900 CC Engine (reminds me of my last motorcycle). If you are a "Prepper" - this is your unit. Also, if you are a Veteran, make sure to purchase through Home Depot or Lowes, (or) wherever you can get your GI discount! I am not sure if Generac will post my contact information, but I can give you a step-by-step on the install process along with some suggestions to help ensure you are installed, "On-time, to Specifications, and In Budget." (PMI Project Management framework.)

We got to Try it right away!

A local IASD checked out and started up our new 22kW generator with transfer switch on Tuesday afternoon. Everything worked perfectly including the test of the Automatic transfer. On Friday Afternoon of the same week, we had an abrupt power outage. About 10 sec later the transfer switch operated and picked up the house load. The unit operated perfectly for about an hour. Afterwards, while in the garage adjacent to the generator, I realized I did not hear the hum of the unit. The unit had transferred back to the utility power and shutdown, without me noticing it. Great transfer!! Yes I would recommend this unit!

Put the test!

We have had our generator for 2 years now. Installed when we built our 5200 sq ft house. It's only been needed for a few small outages lasting no more than an hour. Well, far East TX here had a massive wind storm rip through our area overnight, causing over 200k people to be without electricity for days. A good portion have been restored. We haven't been so lucky because we are so rural. Not to mention upper 90 degree temps, with 99% humidity, and feels like temps over 110 daily! With that being said, we are on day 6 (of many more) of running our Generac. Only shutting it down every 24 hours to cool and check fluids. Now for the goods! It is running 2 HVAC systems, sub zero double fridge, 4 chest freezers, 2 stand up freezers, and 6 ceiling fans consistantly. Not only that, but we can use the microwave, blow dryer, water heater, dishwasher, washer, dryer, ceiling lights, and many more things without it bogging down. Of the two years we have owned this, I am more than impressed, and very thankful we chose to install this on our home. Thank you for creating such a wonderful product!

Generac 22kw Generator

Have lost power four times in the last twelve months due to trees falling on utility lines and taking power out. Decided to purchase a whole house backup generator and after researching products, chose the Generac 22kw. It has a quick response as soon as power loss is detected, can supply power to run heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer, City inspector said the installation was first class and was impressed with running of power cable from electrical box to the generator’s location on the opposite side of the house near the gas meter. Natural gas connection was anchored with multiple safety cut offs of the gas for safety, if needed.. WiFi monitoring allows instant update on status of the generator. The generator is the lifeline to the house and annual maintenance provides peace of mind and assurance the generator is ready to go when needed. Great investment for our home and our lifestyle.

Very professional installation!!

We just completed our installation of the 26 kw whole house generator. All of the work was done by Integrated Home Solutions. I can't say enough positive things about this team. They were so professional, efficient and neat. I would highly recommend this company for your Generac installation.

Now I can review the product.

My standby generator was installed about a week or so ago. The other night we had strong winds that blew some branches down, breaking power lines that supplied electricity to our city. About 20 seconds after our lights went out, I heard our generator crank-up & start. A few seconds later, everything came back on. My wife looked out the window & told me everything in the community was still dark." That's so cool!" Was all she said. About 3 hrs. later, I heard the generator slow down, then shut off & seamlessly everything stayed on. It was great to find out so soon after the installation that we had indeed made the right decision & a good investment by purchasing this product & this model. It was up & running before I could have reached a flashlight. It made less noise than our A/C unit & we've already had our community association reps. tell us how nice the unit looks.

Excellent Product and Installation

Budget Electric came out and did an estimate and answered all of our questions about the generator and the installation. They gave us an install date and were on target with that date. All of the workers were professional and coureous. They did an excellent job of installing and spent time answering all of our questions and demontrated maintenance tips and operation of the generator. We did not feel rushed and appreciate the quality of work and the support that they offered. David and Dorothy
