Pleasing all the way around!

I am so happy with my new unit. I almost can't wait for a power outage to have it kick on automatically and power up my house. I like the way it looks and operates. I could not be more pleased! I decided to purchase this unit after Hurricane Season due to losing power for 3 1/2 days and my portable generator just couldn't keep up.

Quiet, reliable, and discreet

We ordered a 10 kW Guardian to provide 24-hour emergency power to our home in midcoast Maine. With WiFi capability, remote monitoring by the installer, and automatic activation at regular intervals to keep its internal parts and processes "well-oiled," this is a great unit. The first couple of times it came on we were largely unaware it was operating...and it is right outside our kitchen window. Now, if I can only find a buyer for the portable Generac we no longer need!

This product is found to be as advertised by Generac.

Installation crew did a commendable job. All participants showed concern for doing the job right. Unit has only been in place for eight weeks now. Have not had a power failure to evaluate its output, but unit has cycled every other week as programmed. Have not attempted to use Wi-Fi feature yet due to so many negative reviews on it. Plan to discuss with technician at six month maintenance.

Standby generator

Living down south we deal with storms half the year. I was tired of pulling out a portable generator and having it not start much of the time. I had this installed and a week later we had a storm which knocked out the electric at 2 am. It was nice to hear my generator kick on and the hum from it put my right back to sleep. Best investment for my home.

Great so far

We have only had the gen for not quite 6 months but it worked fine for the 2 times we lost power. I hope it continues working as well as it has so far. During one of the outages it started out as a brown out. The gen started up and took us off the main grid due to the fluctuations just in time that we missed the surge that followed and damaged a lot of peoples appliances down the line.

My third Generac...they are best!

Generac owner for 6 years. 7KW in Maine house and works in all weather hot and very cold! Bought a 22KW for daughter’s house and ii saved Christmas this year. Grinch closed the grid but in 10 seconds Christmas Tree was back on thanks to the 22KW. Just installed another 22KW in our new house and have the peace of mind the well will work as well as HVAC!

Looking forward to having peace of mind

Yesterday I signed my contract through Generator Supercenter for a Generac 22KW Guardian Home Generator. Their representative, Jason, was very knowledgeable in Generac products, and was able to answer all of my questions. I truly look forward to having peace of mind in the event of a power outage.

Excellence product and install

We just finished our basement with a substantial investment, and now I feel our investment is protected from power outages and water in the basement. Baker Electric crew was knowledgeable and experienced. Their office personnel, specifically Cindy, was helpful and friendly. Great job.

This product provides the security that we need.

We have just had this unit installed. In our previous house, we lost power during the night for several hours in late Fall. As a result, one of our forced hot water heating circuits froze. Once we were able to get it thawed, water was running down the wall. In this new house, we have already lost power for a few hours, causing our sump in the basement to overflow. No more of that! We are retired and look forward to the peace of mind this Generac will provide.

Good so far

Nice looking unit. Noisier than I though it would be. Install took longer than it should have due to installer showing up with out necessary parts on a Friday and then had to wait till the following Monday to finish. Once installed unit fired up promptly and the "simulated" power outage had the unit start and within a few seconds the house had power. Obviously won't know how well it really works until an actual emergency and hopefully it works as promised. Wi-Fi set up SUCKs big time. NONE of the provided booklets explain it properly. Finally found a manual on-line (by Generac) that explained it. Why wasn't this manual provided with the paperwork? Wi-Fi still doesn't work and I'm not entirely sure why? Weak signal probably. Unit also a USB capability to update firmware but again NO manual explaining how that might work.
