Best decision we've made in our lifetime!

I live in the deep south, and hurricanes and floods occur often, so loss of power is a common occurrence for us. We had been wanting a whole house generator for a while. After Katrina, we were without power for 5 weeks. We suffered through using portable generators for the last few years, but with our advancing age, the hassle of using two or three small generators to keep our freezers, well pump, and lights running got to be a real hassle! So we finally invested in a Generac whole house generator. That is one of the better decisions of our lifetime! We researched and talked to other owners before buying, and decided that Generac brand was the best choice. We are confident that this purchase will give us many years of hassle free service. THANKS Generac!

Peace of Mind

Hard to write a review on something just installed, but I can say my installation crew was of the highest caliber in terms of customer service and knowledge of product and various electrical scenarios. We went with the Guardian 22Kw for a home with essentially two small separate living quarters - (ie dual electric boxes) and a solar set up. I feel very confident that the Generac will serve us successfully when the power goes down. It started right up and switched over seemlessly. It is not bad to look at either when one considers the alternative of another random TX electrical outage!

Works as Advertised, Smooth Transition to Backup Power

Like many, we just installed it to back up the whole house. The ATS works cleanly and efficiently. There is a couple second delay to engage when power goes out just as expected. This unit is 100 amp output and keeps up with most of our home's 3000 sq.ft. 2 AC units and electric tankless hot water. No one should ask that much of it. But we do and the only gotcha in our setup so far is the hot water heater drawing over 100 amps. (the generator protection mechanism engages properly shutting it down, no distress to it or the house, resetting is easy, which is a plus during a black out) So in backup mode, we have to kill one of the 3 40 amp breakers to the hot water heater. We are going to get the WiFi enabled smart breakers so we don't over tax the backup generator. But I am impressed that this little guy does exactly what it is designed to do, easy to use, and pray its longevity is as impressive.

Peace of Mind

We had the whole-house generator installed so we didn't have to worry about power outages in either cold or hot weather. Very pleased with its performance and the fact that it powers up and "checks itself" once a week. One less thing on our minds and back to retirement mode!

Great investment for peace of mind.

We live several miles from town on a farm where heavy storms can take out the power for extended periods of time. Drifting snow can block the roads for days. With aging parents, one with alzheimers/dementia, I now have peace of mind knowing that I can bring them into my home for warmth, food, and comfort in the event of an outage. I can now go to sleep listening to howling winds without worry. These things make this purchase a fantastic investment for my home.

Amazing piece of mind

The whole house generator is such an amazing piece of mind for our whole family!!! Last winter storm we were displaced for 6 days and lost everything in both refrigerators and freezers not to mention the stress of being out of our house for so long. To now have a generator to do all of the work for us with minimal upkeep is such a relief for us!!

Product

Our Generac has been installed for roughly a week. We haven't currently had the need for it. But any day now. Living in rural Louisiana, I expect that day will come soon enough. Very sleek looking machine that fit perfectly alongside our central H&A units. I know the distributor. His service & explanation was perfect and insightful. If we have any issues, I fully expect him to address them. We are beyond pleased with this Generac 24KW

No more Worries

This product is everything you can hope for. It certainly takes a lot of your mine in case of a power outage especially during a storm/ hurricane. I don't have to worry about filling up gas cans, and preparing my portable generator anymore, along with running extension cords .

Great Unit, worked the first time!

Overall this unit met all my expectations. It worked the first time it was turned on transferring to the load correctly and shutting off. The unit looks good next to the house and has very understandable features. The unit has just been installed so will have to see over time about reliability. I would recommend this product to anyone having reliability problems with their local electric utility.

Great Generator.

Love the features offered. Mobile link gives me alerts that are important to me. Love the ability to check propane tank levels as well will be adding this feature next. Runs our whole house no issues at all. Noise level is about the same at a portable generator but when power is out noise isn't my main concern. Self test runs on quiet mode which is at a lower rpm and provides a quieter test and also conserves my propane. Top notch machine takes care of everything it self minus maintenance which is easy to do. I would definitely recommend this generator.
