Very happy with my new generator. Provides a lot of peace of mind to know I will never be without power again. Glad I went with the 22kw full house. I was very surprised to learn about all of the features that I didn't realize it had - like the exercise function and wifi. Installation went perfectly - about 4 hrs. Works perfectly.

Since my husband passed away, there are so many things that I have to take care of or worry about. I would often worry about what I would do if the power went out. Since I live on a small farm, I need to be able to care for my animals. I did have a portable generator but I could never pull start it. And there was not an option to put on an electric start. Plus if I could get it started, then I would have to run extension cords to power things like the refrigerator or freezer or pellet stove for heat in the winter. I still couldn’t run my well pump to water my animals. So I decided to have a whole home generator installed. It was the best decision that I made. Now when the power goes out, I don’t worry about having to pull start a generator or what appliances to plug in or how long is the power going to be out for. It’s actually the last thing I worry about. Having the whole home generator gives me peace of mind. I LOVE it and would recommend it to anyone.

We live in a cold climate and now that we are old it can be dangerous in sub zero weather to be without power. The last storm we were out 5 days which also means no well pump no water. Huge expenditure with the cost of install for old people. I have not been able to get the wi-fi remote monitor to work as I am not tech savvy, do not understand what they are asking for to be able to follow the instructions, nor can I climb thru the snow banks to get at the generator itself.

This isn't a review. It's a question. Suppose you have a generator running for your whole house, but at night you just have a couple of night lights on or you want all your clocks to not reset, so you would have to run your generator 24/7 and waste propane/gas just to trickle a little electricity. Why can't they pair a generator up with a power cell, then the generator can run full bore for an hour or so to charge the batter cell and then turn off. When the batter gets low, the generator turns back on. In this way you don't need to choose between all on or all off. This is what I'm waiting for before I buy. Any ideas?

I am very pleased with the generator and it's features. The unit came with the transfer switch and the whole package provides a neat and tidy installation. The only issue I have with the overall product is the smart management modules that were installed to shed loads when the generator starts up. They have a buzz that gets louder as time passes. At first the buzz was tolerable, but it gets too loud as time goes by.

Just had this installed at my home. Todd Eppley/Darien Generators did a great job installing and was able to coordinate all the moving parts to get this done in a smooth fashion without much headache to me. He answered all my questions and look forward to having this protection in place. I recommend his services highly.

We would like to thank the people that installed our generator. They all did an awesome job. They were very courteous and friendly and we know we will get great service in the future. I would recommend this product to everyone that is looking for one. The prices are great. Thanks for everything...

Nice looking unit, and solid installation. Our installer was excellent, and did a very professional job. I wish the case had some heavy insulation inside to help dampen the sound (like Cummins does). Generac claims the unit is quiet, and quotes 65 decibel readings. Using a professional decibel meter I'm getting 85 decibels, with higher readings under load. Not much help from Generac when I called to ask if there was some way to get it down to the advertised 65 decibels. So if noise isn't an issue for you, it's a great generator. But if you're in a subdivision of closely spaced home like we are, you certainly won't have many friends left after the thing has been hammering away and disturbing everyone within 3 or 4 houses of you! I strongly suggest finding one you could listen to before you buy.

I researched many home back up generators. I ended up going with 22k guardian. It was just installed, so I haven't had any negative experiences yet. Installation went excellent. The 7 year parts and labor warranty was being offered for free when I purchased, this was a big driver in my decision to go with Generac.

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!
