Excellent from selection thru first trial run

Ordered 22k Guardian w/switch, pad & battery July 6. Order shipped the 9th and delivered curbside the 13th. Arranged our own 500 propane tank including placement of Generac and gas connection. Had an electrician complete the transfer switch wiring. All tests performed perfectly. Company support during the activation process was very efficient. Could not ask for a better overall experience.

Cleanly designed product with room for feature improvement

The installation and initial burn-in went very well. We ran our ground source heat pump in A/C mode to give it a good test and the 26kw unit was up to the task. We are confident that we can travel without concerns for our pipes freezing while we're away. It could be improved if there were a way on the App to configure it to send email to the owner when a new item is entered into the History Log. As I write this I note that the unit has been off-line via wifi for the past 10 days and I had no idea.

This product has features that help us.

We appreciate not having to worry every time we get notified about upcoming power outages, especially because one of us is in a wheelchair, and starting a portable generator is sometimes a problem. We also are relieved to have chosen the auto start and stop feature. This generator operates off of our propane tank.

18KW Generac is great product & Platz Electric (MI) are great to work with!

Purchased the 18K Guardian Generac and worked well right away! Platz Electric (MI) were very efficient and thorough professionally installing not only the generator itself, but also completed everything involved including the electric, gas line connection and installation, etc. I didn't have to hire any additional electricians or heating/gas line installers! They were very helpful and patient with my township inspectors and all my questions etc. Highly recommended!

Guardian 22 kw , the clear choice

I decided to buy a whole home generator. After reading lots of review Generac was the clear choice. I called Optimize EGS in Baton Rouge, they came out and explained the process. The crew came to install a Guardian 22 kw unit. The were professional and did a great job with the entire process. We ran a test run after the install. I am now prepared for any outages now! No more one month outage after hurricanes!!!!

Working out the bugs...we'll see

Installation was excellent, operation so far has been spotty. In the snowstorm this week the unit failed to fire when the power went out and when later manually started went into safe mode tripping unit circuit breakers so no power went to our home. We had no power for 30 hours. The service tech is ordering parts so we will see how it goes. This was the third instance of failure to start, one in maintenance mode and one other in a power failure. I will update this review once we have operation consistency.

I cant wait for a power failure to reap my rewards

Very clean design. Powerful. Somewhat easy install due to great instructions. Runs quieter than my 8k portable. Smart switch simplified the install. Wifi was easy to set up following the instructions. Powerful twin cylinder engine looks easy to maintain. Looking forward to acomfortable life nest storm outage.

One small drawback

Just had the Generac model 7226, 18 kW home standby generator installed and am very pleased with it. The one small drawback is the Status LED indicator light is on the right side of the unit, away from my street view. The unit should be designed to move the Status LED indicator light to the left side of the unit if needed to view it from the street.

The 22KW/999 Guard+200A SE T/SW AL is in place and test well.ll.

The Generac Generator looks good, test good, is waiting for the first power outage to see and feel how it works. The installation time was acceptable. It was more expensive than necessary for all that I had to do to get area ready and the calling, etc. I had to do to get gas meter checked and upgraded in the installation process. BUT it is done. I pray that it works efficiently and long term and that Canter does a good job of monitoring and maintaining its operation.

Good Product

We purchased this whole house generator to provide backup power foir extreme weather in our area (Hurricanes, thunderstorms). Initial setup and initial run was excellent. This unit has Wi-Fi and the installer took time to set it up to our cell phone. When trying to set up generator to my computer it appears that you have to go back to the setup Wi-Fi screen on the generator to enable each additional device (i.e. Computer, cell phone, tablet, etc) Other than that it appears to be a good product.
