After going through multiple hurricanes with minimal power and multiple outages when I moved to my new house I made the commitment to be safe and keep comfortable during an outage. The unit is great and powers the whole house including the pool with no issues.

This 22KW generator is the cream puff of the industry. It take only a few minutes to set it up and then you're good to go. Generac has it down to a science on every facet...design, ease of care, quietness, ease of operation. Thanks for such a fine product. Its worth the investment if only for the peace of mind.

At maximum load, the unit is very noisy. In side the house -- not problem. Outside -- big problem. We are sure I will get complaints. A fence company will be contacted with sound controlling elements to direct the noise upward to the sky, if possible. Otherwise the unit works correctly. The voltage is not at 120 VAC, but does get to 117VAC. I am not sure if that will be a problem. We can not run our electric wall oven or cloths dryer. The 5 ton AC will run with no problem, all light (all plugs), on-demand hot water heater and the two refrigerators work well. We have not tested our furnace yet. Transfer switch works quickly and power is back on in about a minute. I suggest dedicated, non-GFI for freezers and refrigerator -- when they trip, the Generac can not provide power to GFIs.

Got my whole-house Generac installed on a Wednesday; everyone I dealt with was MOST professional & knowledgeable. On the following Saturday we experienced a power outage due to windstorms. My Generac came on seconds after the power went out & ran flawlessly for 9 hours when power was restored!! One of the BEST purchases I’ve ever made; thank you for such a useful product!!

Moved to Florida last year and have been wanting to get a Generac installed, today my wish came true! She's in and ready to go. Found a great certified Geneac contractor on the web site. From estimate to install he was top notch. On time, fair pricing, a pleasure to work with. Now we feel safe should any storm come our way.

How do you spell peace of mind? How about G-e-n-e-r-a-c. We installed the 22kw model a couple months ago, and I rest easy, knowing my generator is standing by in the event of a power emergency. Each week the unit fires up for about five minutes in test mode, reminding me it's ready to go. We installed the generator as part of a swimming pool project, so the unit sits nicely among the rest of the pool equipment - compact and out of the way. I can't imagine owning a home without a backup generator, especially with our aging grid system and the looming threat of cyber attacks.

I just had this model installed. Lohrum Electrical in Greensburg, IN had it up and running with the whole house transfer switch in about 4 or 5 hours. Much faster than I anticipated and with excellent quality workmanship. We have had several power outages in the past, some that lasted for several days, and have lost a lot of food in our freezers and refrigerator. We now have the peace of mind that that will never happen again.

My wife and I had a Generac 22kw Guardian Series Backup generator installed when we built our home 5 years ago. We haven't really needed for any long period of time until Hurricane Matthew. We were without utility power for two days (very fortunate compared to many). Our Generac kept us fully powered and cool for the entire time!

We recently had APG Solar install this back up generator. Our electricity has gone off twice since it was installed. Both times it came on and performed well. Without the generator, when our electricity is off we do not have water. We had the generator by Mother's day when we had company. Our electricity went off, the generator came on and saved the day. This is great peace of mind for us. APG Solar in Atwater, CA did a great job with our project, the installers were helpful and pleasant to work with.

We just had it installed, so have not needed it yet. But it does give us confidence with as many power outages as we've had. I lost all my pond fish and my aquarium fish inside the house on the last power outage. As we get older we worry more about power outages, so this seems like a good investment.
