This is a "must have" item for any home!

We are very pleased with our Generac generator. It was installed in April 2017 and by the end of May we had already seen the benefits of our Generac 3 times! It is quiet, and the switch over from normal to generator is seamless. Great product - so glad we purchased!

It does what it promises to do

On 1/02/2017 we lost electricity at 8:25 AM just as I began to work on an important project in my home office. In 7 seconds my General 22 kw generator turned on, restored power to all but a/c systems. After an additional 20 seconds the first a/c system came back and 15 seconds later the next one turned on. I was able to work for the 3 hours that it took for service to be restored. The generator is just outside my window and the sound is similar to a riding lawnmower at idle! What great peace of mind.

Good so far

The generator has been right on schedule with the test runs each week and ran well when my installer initially tested it. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars yet is because it hasn't truly been tested in reality yet.... we haven't yet lost power and had our "smart" generator automatically turn on. If we do and it does, for as long as necessary, I will enthusiastically give it 5 stars!

I haven't had to use it yet

The installation and the crew was great. I am very confident that this will solve my power outage problems. The weather becomes more unpredictable every year and I have spent too many cold nights and thrown away too many spoiled foods. Now when I hear there is a storm coming and power outages likely, I breathe a sigh of relief

Standby Power can't be a bad thing

The Generac installation was a matter of eliminating the potential for another long-term electrical outage as had occurred 18 +/- months ago. I have every confidence that the device will function when it is needed, although the need has not occurred since it was installed. It was a matter of not wanting the inconvenience or losses from an electrical outage when I could afford to prevent it. With the device auto-starting weekly, which is not offensive to my home's community, I feel assured that I have done what's necessary to maintain my home and lifestyle regardless of the periodic failure of my local utility to provide power 100% of the time. I am sufficiently satisfied such that I am in the final stages of installation of an identical unit for my "other" home where my son and his family live. The idea is to have it and not need it instead of needing it and not having it. It is a lot better than having a portable gasoline-powered generator which must be connected for use if ever needed (especially when being away for long periods might preclude the ability to re-power the house).

Wait and see

My Generac has only been install for 2 weeks, and except for the test run in the beginning and the once a week test runs I can't evaluate it till we have some kind of an electrical problem which is quite often were I live. Hence, wait and see. Bill Sherwood

Works great - No issues

Had the Generac 22KW air cooled generator installed in March after considerable market research. Picked Generac because it offered the largest, air-cooled wattage, automatic load shedding, and because of market share (over 70%), which guarantees repair parts and service availability in the future. To date, the generator has had no issues. Weekly automatic test runs have worked flawlessly. Only have experienced one short power outage since installation. The generator kicked on immediately and transferred the house load perfectly. Could not be happier right now.

Excellent

Mine has worked exactly as I had hoped it would. That is, it only turns it's on Saturday at 2pm to perform its weekly check... Haven't had any power outages yet requiring its service but it has given me a comfort level knowing it will come on and my home will be powered since I have a disabled son here 24 hours per day.

The unit works Great since the incident stated below.

I have a 22K Generator and it only came into operation one time since installed on 3-25-16, At that occurrence, the technician determined that the problem was insufficient air intake to the carburetor due to a defective air filter element. The installation and Service from my Dealer and employees has been Great, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
