Reliable Power

Would Recommend

Just completed year two annual maintenance. Generator has activated reliably 5 times over the past two years and powered my home without any issues. Propane usage seems very efficient.

Good generator for the entire house.

Would Recommend

Have had this generator for a year. Had to have a faulty emergency switch replaced (under warranty). I've put about 11 hours on it. It's able to power everything in my 2500 sq/ft house (A/C, Heat, oven, dryer) all appliances with no issues.

So far so good

Would Recommend

We’ve only had it for 3 weeks but so far so good. We haven’t had to use it yet. So far the weekly maintenance exercise has been great.

Generator Upgrade

This is our second Generac generator because, after 19 years with our first one, we wanted to upgrade to one with more current features/functions. Our first one was purchased in Sept. 2007. It gave us optimal, quality, and dependable service. It is still working today, in another household, with a family whom we gave it to. We look forward to and are confident that we will have the same level of quality service with our recent new upgraded generator!

Hurricane Prepared

Would Recommend

4 years after Hurricane Ian it was time to replace a portable 5kw generator with a whole home generator. We will now be able to have the entire house on standby power should another major outage occur. Being familiar with the Generac company based in Wisconsin, this was the only generator considered.

Faster than anticipated!

Performs faster than expected. Only power outage to date had the generator running in 7 seconds and power restored within 15 seconds.

Yes, I would buy a Generac again

I bought this last year and despite several power outages, we always had with power as though the outage wasn’t happening.
