Great install experience

Great experience from initial consultation to the final walk through. Very quiet when it runs through its weekly test. Very pleased with the look and appearance in property. Perkins Generators of Sharpsburg GA came recommended by a trusted electrician and they did not disappoint.

Works like a champ!

Installed our 22kw NG whole home backup generator with transfer switch in July 2016. We were expected to take a direct hit from Hurricane Matthew here in Melbourne, Fl, but instead were spared. Nonetheless, the power went out around 2am and within ten seconds our Generac Generator fired up like a champ. So far it has performed flawlessly and we expect it to continue. We will shut it down as soon as conditions permit to check the oil, and will fire it back up soon after. Well worth the purchase and recommend this generator as part of your significant inclement weather must have.

Great Generator

I bought my Generac in the fall planning for next years hurricane season. But to my surprise, shortly after purchasing, we had an ice storm that knocked out power for days. This kept our house warm, power to our refrigerators/freezers and was very thankful that we purchased when we did. The generator performed flawlessly and have since needed it for 2 other storms that also knocked our power for a few days.

Great price for size needed.

We just installed the unit. Test results were good, not able to give 5 stars yet as unit has not had a chance to perform. I’m confident that it will be fine. Was able to get good pricing from local retailer, with added rebate. Professional installation went well. Am very pleased thus far.

Whole House Automatic Switch Makes Life Easier with Loss of Power

As a lifelong resident of North Florida, I have always been concerned with the risk of losing power during hurricane season, both at home and at work. For several years, I considered having a whole house generator installed, but could not justify the cost. I had done enough research that I knew that I wanted a Generac unit, as it appeared to have become the standard in backup power units, much like Apple products has done with cell phones, and Microsoft has accomplished with computers. When Hurricane Irma left us without power for 5 days, I began researching units again, and was pleasantly surprised that the unit cost had continued to decline. With hurricane season approaching again, we decided the cost was justifiable. We had a unit installed last week. The Automatic Transfer Switch works like a charm. It senses when power is lost and automatically starts the generator. Likewise, when regular power is restored, the switch senses that and starts the generator shut down process. As the owner, I didn't have to lift a finger! While we do not ever want to face another hurricane, the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. We are now prepared. Generac has made life easier!

Happy Camper

Installed 3 years ago and it has performed flawlessly. 1 hurricane and numerous thunderstorms, I have about 400hrs runtime on it. Very easy to perform annual maintenance yourself. Mobile Link gives you all the details when you need it. Be sure and setup the weekly Exercise - 5 minute run.

Excellent quality and design

We have had our 24kW Guardian unit for just over one year now. We reside in Houston, TX area and are thus exposed to hurricanes, tropical storms, and even winter freezes. Each of these weather events can disrupt power, for a few hours to a few days, or more. I have an 87 year old mother-in-law that lives in a home just over a mile from us. Thus, our decision for backup power was as much for her as for ourselves. Our unit runs our entire 3,100 sq.ft. home, including a 5-ton AC, and a pool. Shock Doc Electrical in League City was referred by Generac and they did an excellent job on the installation. Worth every penny for the peace of mind!

This 22k Generac Generator is a true hero!

We purchased a Generac generator after looking at all the options available and found Generac had the best reputation and quality for the money. Well your generator has now been through two hurricanes. Hurricane Sally and Hurricane Delta. We want to thank you for providing us with a superior product and American Air Systems for a professional installation! Generac has made us feel more safe and secure while dealing with the aftermath of these hurricanes. Our home is a home even with prolonged power outages and we made a wise investment! Thank you again

I hope it works better than the onboarding experience

Documentation received with unit doesn't match what you see on the screen on the control panel. Documentation doesn't match the online app downloading and setup process. Setup for the app is pure mystery. Something about choosing built-in WiFi, WiFi access point, or LTE. No explanation of what to choose. In the end, once I got connected there were no useful features that would require online connectivity unless I paid $50-$60 per year and even then, nothing essential to operating this thing.
