As a small custom home builder, I build a lot of homes that are on large acreage. Thus these sights are prone to power outages due to their geographical locations. The Generac 22KW with the auto xfer and gas back up is a MUST. Just the peace of mind in knowing that you do not need to break out all the candles, flash lights and blankets when they are calling for bad weather in a life saver. Easily one of the best investments you will ever make!

From the very first call to the Generac dealer/installer, right through to the detailed walkthrough, this has been an outstanding experience. The instal crew was polite, professional, and really knew their business. The unit itself is sleek looking and attractive. The unit is mounted about ten feet from my home office and when it starts for the routine weekly test, it only sounds like my neighbor is mowing his lawn. Keep in mind we live on 1 1/2 acre lots so it is not loud at all. My wife couldn't even hear it running when I asked her if it was loud. Great product, excellent service.

When we lose power here it's generally for an extended period of time (several hours). After dealing with a portable generator for years, we finally purchased a Generac 22kw automatic generator. Now there's no wheeling the portable out, filling it with gas, hooking it up and hoping it will crank, most often doing all the above in lousy weather. The very day the installation was completed we lost power for 10 hours. The Generac came on during that time and ran flawlessly. On top of that it was so much quieter than the old portable that it could barely be heard. We love it. I only wish we had made the commitment to purchase years ago. I highly recommend the Generac.

We had the 22kW Generac installed the Autumn of 2016. Our 1st power outage of the season occurred a couple of weeks ago. The outage started at 10:30pm, just as everyone was prepping for bedtime. 10 seconds after the outage begun we had FULL power. No problems, the generator shut down automatically after residential power was restored, and our electric service was automatically cut over to AC. WOW !! No more lugging out the portable generator!. We also installed the battery heater and oil filter heater - cold climates.

We live off the beaten path in Midcoast Maine. After losing power several times, I did a lot of research on generators. I ended up purchasing the Generac. Less than a week after it was installed we had an ice storm. In under 15 seconds, EVERYTHING came back on. This is a quality generator that is a great value.

The first time I needed my generator, thee was a problem with "hunting" for the core ct RPM. I called a local dealer for repairs. He adjusted fuel mix, and said the problem was resolved. The next start up, I had the same issue. This time, he replaced the mixer. Weeks later, there was a loud buzzing fr the mixer. Once again. I got a new mixer. Problem solved, for now.

This is my fourth whole house Generac generator that I have purchased in the past 10 years (one each time I moved to another home). They have all been outstanding and very reliable - I could always count on them when I needed emergency power. Living on the Gulf Coast, a reliable generator is a must. I will never buy any other brand.

Our power went out and the generac cut on within 3 sec, as the contractor said it would. It did make a loud clunk sound when it cut over, and the generator does make some noise. The clunk sound woke us and the dogs up, and the generator is close to a bedroom, so it did disturb our grandson. The cut-over box (on the outside) is just outside my bedroom, so explains why it woke us and the dogs. Other then that, it works great, and a small price to pay(being woke up) for keeping power on. I love the looks. Contractor was very thorough, and helpful. We needed a new elect panel, so he took care of it. Also needed a larger gas meter and line put in, and he made all the arrangements for us, with our permission. I highly recommend this contractor. We have a neighbor that has a young child, so happy it has locks on it. Our town is known for power outages, so very happy we had it installed.

I unpacked & set up my Generac on a concrete pad in the optimum location for NG & electrical hook. A connection layout was done by our provincial utility authority. Our electrical contractor had the electrical service connected, tested & inspected in a morning. Three weeks after installation an auto accident caused a 4 hour power interruption that proved the value of this whole house installation.

I don't worry no more about the electricity going off, every monday morning it starts automatically,runs for a few minutes,then turns off,very please,hassle free if you have ever lost power for 6 days like we have in the past,you will not regret get a generac 22kw home generator
