Go ahead and get a Wi-Fi extender if you want the Wi-Fi feature

I was very excited to finally get my new Generac installed. We live on the gulf coast and flooded in Harvey. We've had power surges and other electrical issues and anytime in a Texas summer without A/C wasn't feasible. We've got a really nice Wi-Fi 6 Mesh system installed in the house with plenty of range all around our property. There is no place in the house or yard where we get a poor Wi-Fi signal. The Generac 26kW uses only the 2.4GHz band, which isn't a problem, because I can create a dedicated SSID that is 2.4 GHz only, which I did. The problem is the range. Our mesh routers do not send out that dedicated SSID, only the main main router connected to the modem. Even though the generator would recognize the SSID, the signal wasn't reliable enough to maintain a connection. I had to order a $20 Wi-Fi range extender and plug it into the wall adjacent to the generator to get a strong-enough signal to maintain connection. Even now the signal strength is only 52-56%. Just go ahead and spend the money on a check TP-Link range extender and set it up on a 2.4GHz band for your generator. IT will save you a lot of trouble.

Worry free

It is so nice not to have to worry about going outside to hook up a portable generator. Due to a neurological condition, it is very hard/impossible for me to pull start a generator. Now I don’t have to worry about it. The power goes out and the Generac starts all by itself! Love it!

A Very Good Value and Investment

We have had our generator for a month and only had to use it once for five minutes during a brief lightning storm. It performed as expected. The engine noise is somewhat louder than I expected but is not an annoyance. Having this generator has given us much needed peace of mind. An investment that is truly worth the money and value.

Disappointed in performance

Purchased your 10,000kw unit a year ago through Home Depot and was installed by electrician recommended by Home Depot. It was very expensive having new panel put it, etc. In the past year it has come on about 6 times and has worked well. During last ice storm noticed it was loud and sputtering snd seemed like it was ready to stall out. Propane tanks are full. This morning with Nor’easter it came on but sputtered loudly and ran unevenly and sounded like it was ready to stall out. Ran outside to shovel around it to make sure it was clear of snow. Furnace and lights kept dimming as it sputtered. Disappointed to have problems so soon. I will be paying this off for a couple more years so needing somebody to fix what is wrong is discouraging so soon after purchase. Cannot recommend this product if these problems persist.

less than 24 hours after having our Generac installed, our power went out for 4 hours.

We lost power less than 24 hours after our generator was installed. After 25 years of many ,many power outages caused by trees falling all over Atlanta and taking out the power lines, we were so thrilled to have instant back up power like most of our neighbors. No more searching for lanterns and remembering to charge up phones and iPads with each approaching storm This Generator makes us so happy !! Sorry we waited so long!

Best money ever spent !!!!

We lose power a lot in our rural area that we reside. Kelly's Electrical Service, LLC is our local dealer in McBee S.C. and came quickly to install our Generac. We love our Guardian 22 KW home generator with mobile link. The generator is high quality and quiet when running. We are very HAPPY and will have peace of mind for years to come. Thank you Generac !!!

THE BEST GENATOR ON THE MARKET

I JUST PURCHASED AND HAD INSTALLED A 18Kw/ w/ ATUO TRANSFER SWITCH. THIS GENERAC GENATOR IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST PEACE OF MIND YOU WILL EVER HAVE. MY NEIGHBORHOOD HAS APPROXIMATELY 6 OR SEVEN GENERAC GENATOR INSTALLED ALREADY. IN TENNESSEE WHEN I LIVE THE WEATHER IS SO UNPREDICTABLE THAT ITS A MUST HAVE, NOT A WANT. EVERYONE I HAD TALKED TO RECOMMENDED THE GENERAC OVER THE OTHERS. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW QUIET IT IS WHEN ITS RUNNING, JUST KNOWING THAT YOU WILL HAVE POWER WHEN THE ELECTRICITY GOES OUT IS A TRUE BLESSING. IF YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT GETTING ONE, GENERAC IS THE ABSOLUTE ONLY WAY TO GO. THE GUYS AT ALPHA ELECTRIAL CONTRACTORS LLC ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST. THEY INSTALLED MINE AND DID A ABSOLUTE PROFESSIONAL INSTALL. KEITH GOFF, MIKE, AND THE GUY AT ALPHA ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS LLC ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST. THANK YOU GENERAC, AND ALPHA ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS FOR A GREAT GENATOR AND A GREAT INSTALL EXPERIENCE

Thank you for my new peace of mind.

I am very happy with my new Generac generator and the stand which is sits on, allowing it to remain above the snow in the Winter. Mike and Jim who installed it for me are true professionals and I would highly recommend a Generac whokle house generator. It gives me such peace of mind having it as a backup for power outages. Thank you.

so pleased with my new generator

My generator was installed today by a great team, including an electrician.They worked very efficiently and explained all the features of this generator afterwards. I had it installed for my piece of mind. I hope I never lose power but, if I do, my entire house is covered and, the best thing, is that I never have to do a thing. It's all automatic!

Awesome

Why did I wait so long. One hour after installation, we had a power failure. Generator kicked on and worked like a charm. The installation crew was great. Efficient, courteous, and explained installation every step of the way. Thank you so much.
