This unit needs a wiring harness or a different location for the terminals. It is difficult to get the heavy wire into the limited space provided and the location of the terminals is not easy to reach. I have not had a power outage since installing so I am not sure how well it will work.

We love our general. It was one of the best investment we made for 2016. We should done the same in New York when we lived there. We recommend every one who lives along the Gulf Coast of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia to get one for their home.

On returning home one day last summer we discovered the electrical power was out due to a storm. It was a really hot day. We had guest coming that evening. Thank goodness for the Generac generator. The generator worked as advertised. The house was cool. The sound of the Generac running was barely evident. THANK YOU GENERAC!

We're about 6 months into ownership now, and have experienced 1 power outage. The machine performed flawlessly. We live in a rural area area where power is lost quite often due to storms and it's really comforting to know life is not interrupted because of that. That said, I wish to add the home surge protector was also a worthy investment. Thank you Generac.

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).

Our new generator is a comforting sight and adds a level of security knowing our home will stay warm and comfortable regardless of weather and severe storms. We occasionally travel for business and have to leave our pets home for the duration. Knowing our home will never be without power and heat during the winter months is a huge relief. We live in a heavily tree lined region in upstate New York that experiences above average power outages due to high winds and severe weather. This generator is well worth the money. Bill M.

No news is good news. In the almost 1 year since we purchased it, no power failures, thanks. It faithfully runs 5 minutes every week to let me know its ready and willing when the time comes. Hope it continues on that cycle, best investment I ever made.

I love everything about this product except one thing.....there is no app or internet based access to my Generator. When we are away sure would be nice to click on my Generac App to keep status of what's going on with my unit.....Seems this would be a given in this day and age of technology. Let's hope that this will be available in the near future and be adaptable to my unit. Also I was unable to upload my pics as you have a 5MB limit...my mobile phone takes HDR pics and are bigger than your limit - that's unfortunate...maybe just restrict the total size instead of the pics themsleves.

We thought about getting a generator for many years but it seemed like a lot of research and a lot of money. After 20 years we finally put one in last spring. It was a considerable investment but so far we are pleased. Ours comes on every Wednesday morning and does the trial automatically which gives us some confidence. We've only had a few brief electrical outages and it did come on as needed but wasn't needed for a long time. When a larger outage occurs I feel confident that it will work and that our home can be the gathering spot for those without electricity.

The 22 kw generator is economically priced and is very easy to activate and setup. The wiring schematics are very easy to follow and installation is a breeze with the 200 amp service duty rated transfer switch. The transfer switch provides load shed capabilities to deenergize heat pump electric heat and other major loads when the electrical demand is high to prevent overloading of generator It's a good investment and a wise choice for standby electrical needs when your normal utility is off and the great thing is that it's fully automatic.
