Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gives us peace of mind The last few years we have experienced more frequent power outages. Having the generac gives us piece of mind that we will be covered for our power needs. DS Groff out of Lewis Run, PA was our dealer/installer. Mr. Groff came to our house and discussed our options. Jethro and Ray were our installers. They did a very neat and professional instal in a matter of a few hours. Everybody from the lady who answers the phone at Groff, Mr. Groff and our installers were great. I would highly recommend !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product We are very happy with our recent purchase of the 18KW Guardian compatible Wifi and it was just fantastic to hear for the first time the noise coming from outside in a matter of seconds after a recent power outage. No more worries for getting water in our basement, just peace of mind from now on. Plus, no more freezing in the winter, especially after experiencing up to 17 days without electricity.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just purchased this unit and we were very happy with the sales and installation process from our Generac Dealer, Offgridderz Inc. Our Generac dealer guided us in giving the information we needed to make a decision that was right for us. The installation process was quick and easy. Although we hope we don't need to use this product too much, we feel safe and comfortable knowing that it is there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding unit. Exceptional expert installation. This unit seems to be outstanding (not actually used yet) and a great value. The installation was very smooth and the team was very professional and did exceptional work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceptional quality, service and installation We had Casey Mechanical install our 18KW generator last spring and have nothing but good things to say ever since! They arrived on time and installed the custom General pad and generator as purchased. The install was seamless as has been its operation. We have lost power in bad weather, ice storms and due to hydro problems but we have not had to go without power since it was started up. Generac and Casey Mechanical make a great team!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product, great installation I did a lot of research into backup generators, some had a few more bells and whistles so was the cost. From what I found Generac stood above them all. The 18Kw will meet out needs. We went through ESCON Power Solutions, Bay City, MI for the purchase and installation. They went above and beyond to make sure the installation was done correctly (a couple of unplanned challenges were found during the installation). I highly recommend them if you are looking for a Generac dealer.
