Very nice whole house Generator

Would Recommend

This is a very nice whole house Generator that runs a 200 amp service with no issues. The install and set up were straight forward. We have already had to use it on two separate occasions and it worked flawlessly. The automatic transfer switch is super fast!

This unit does everything I hoped it would do

Would Recommend

This generator has come to the rescue several times already since installation. One time for almost 72 hours. The auto transfer switch is the best part of the system. No going outside looking for cables and filling the fuel tank in the middle of the night. The only suggestion I have to make this unit the perfect system is to upgrade the manual to be a bit more clear as to how to reset alarms and weekly test run cycles so that a regular mechanically inclined person can perform these things in ...

Solid and reliable

Would Recommend

I've had the opportunity to have whole house power backup twice during power losses since moving into my home 6 months ago. The Generac functioned perfectly. The scheduled weekly maintenance cycles occur without a flaw. I enjoy this product.

Installed about 2 months ago....

.......and turned on once during hurricane Hermine. Fairly quiet, and test mode is hands-free. Excellent quality, and I'm glad to have purchased this unit, which is constantly on whole house standby. I believe I will purchase the optional Generac Mobile Link to remotely monitor, and control on my iPhone.

High quality, durable, reliable unit still looks brand new.

Would Recommend

Unit was installed 5 months ago. Maintenance occurs weekly right on time and unit is quiet which is what attracted me to the liquid cooled engine. We have had only one power outage so far and it kicked right in and kept everything running without a hiccup. Exterior is high quality and engine is well protected. It looks brand new inside and out. My only regret is the optional wireless local monitor. It has to be so close to the unit that it is really not useful to me.
