No brainer!

I bought this product for the peace of mind it provides. It supplies my house and all out buildings and as i am almost 100% electric and on a well for water I felt I needed this kind of protection to be self reliant as opposed to needing help in an emergency situation whatever that situation.

Priceless

I bought this about five weeks ago and have been so happy with it because we've talked about it for years. Within those five weeks I've lost power twice one was very short. The second time was a little over four hours and that was an important day for us to have power and my Generac worked perfectly.

No power, no problem

Purchased the Generac 26K with transfer switch in September 2026 and system is easy to operate and maintain. System is monitored by my service provider and system advises them if there is a problem with system. My Generac runs our house completely if power goes out. We opted for a in ground LP tank which is super nice and keeps yard looking good.

Best Buy Ever!

Best buy we have ever made. A month and a half after it was installed, we had a big windstorm in Montana (in December). Power was out for 3 days, but our Generac generator started right up and kept running for 3 days, with NO problems at all. Kept us warm, kept the lights on, kept the hot tub hot. We could cook and go on with our daily lives with no hitch. It's a Godsend!

Fast Power Transfer

I finished installing generator a mouth ago. Pretty straightforward installation. I had my first outage during a storm last week. Generator started and transferred power within seconds. Very happy with quality and performance of my new generator system.

You won't be disappointed!

I have been wanting to purchase a whole home generator for some time. Finally bit the bullet an got a 26KW with transfer switch about a month ago. 2 days ago, 08/13/26, the power died for about 4hours. Unit kicked in flawlessly and handled central AC, stove and package AC unit with ease. I like the fact that natural gas is always ready to go when problems arise. Install was truly professional and exactly as promised. I'm a satisfied customer!

The app is very good and verifies its working

Had this 6 weeks now, just before storm season. Good quality product but difference is the installation by a company that only does generators, not some diversified franchise or one-at-at-a-time electrician. Family run business that concentrates on Generac and installs 5- 7 per week. The price was $2800 less than other vendors and they gave me the confidence of a quality installation and maintenance program.

DIY'rs?...skip the inconvenience, don't wait!

Replaced name-brand, ng, 15kw mobile (shed/outside/stationary) machine w 26kw Generac. Unit was fine; not enough juice to carry both ac units @ same time. Generac resolved all issues: no going outside to start, easily carries full house load, can be run during storm, no periodic inspections during extended run times. Should've done this in the first place! Great machine w perfect financing (18 mo/no interest)!

Piece of mind

Purchased the generator two years ago and have no issues. Haven't had to use it often but it is a great comfort knowing that we are protected considering the storms that pop up increasingly
