Rated 5 out of 5 by from Flawless installation GenTec located in Crete, IL did a thorough, clean and professional install. Starting with Tina in the office and Steve getting a timely quote to Steve Jr. and his partner on the install. Transfer switch mounted in basement , not on outside like other companies suggested and gas line was tapped in the basement as well. No unsightly lines running on the outside. If my 18 kw Generac is as good as GenTec install, I will be an extremely satisfied customer. Thanks to Steve and all his crew.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Peace of mind We were on the fence about getting one until we lost power 8 times in 1 summer. We have 2 toddlers and it was just really annoying to not have power with little kids. really glad we pulled the trigger on this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent purchase with great features Stuller Solutions is a great company to install and service the generator we purchased. It gives us the peace of mind we were looking for when power goes out. They are very professional and the installation went perfectly. Would highly recommend them to install Generac generators in our area.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features I am so happy to have this generator as we have gone through several hurricanes since moving to FL in 1981. Should have purchased a GENERAC sooner. Our home is now protected from the power failures to come

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice Product The team at Storm Guardian Generators out of Alvin, TX did an awesome Job. Got many calls about the installation dates and time. Came early on the date, (was cool with me). Got everything completed in a timely manner. Cleaned everything up when finished. And now we wait for center point, not there fault. I would have to say this is a very reliable company and was very competitive on the estimate and gave me more than what other companies were offering. Thanks!! Very much appreciated! Great job guys and ladies in the office! Thanks Generac for the referral also.
