Better than 5 stars!!!!!
We had our Generac 20kW and whole house switch installed in March 2014. Ever since the install we have been hoping for the power to go out (strange yes but wanting to test the investment). Finally the power went out during a thunderstorm Sept. 1st. The generator started confidently just like it does on it's weekly exercise runs. We were so pleased that we did not need to drag out the old portable generator. During the 6 hours of outage we ran, 3 TVs, 3 computers, the dishwasher, the AC, 2 fridges, 1 freezer, the sump pump, the well pump, the garage door and almost every light in the house at varying times. The Generac never missed a beat and was so quiet when it was time for bed nobody complained like they did with our old portable. Fantastic product. Exactly why my parents and in-laws installed their's a few years ago.

Just finished 12 days of flawless power after Sandy
After last year's hurricane here on Long Island knocked out power for several days leaving our sump pumps useless, we purchased the 20k unit...couldn't have imagined it would be running for 12 days straight less then a year later!
Our power does get knocked out pretty regularly, and just last month the unit was running for 5 hours. I recently had the radio remote installed, right by my home alarm keypad. I'd highly recommend it, as it gives you the added peace of mind knowing the unit is ready to go without going outside and opening up the unit.
Excellent unit, would highly recommend it.

I have piece of mind now
Looked at several different brands and decided to go with generac. Glad I did, the service was excellent from start to finish. I rated it for star only because I have not experienced a power outage yet. However, the test after installation worked great 5 stars. Installers were professional and did an excellent job installing the unit.
I recommend this product.

Peace of mind
I bought this 20KW Generac for peace of mind. I was constantly losing power because of storms or even brown outs from over use of the power grid. Now I can rest assured that in the event of loss of power I will have no worries.
The electical contractor was efficient and knowledgable about the product and installation.

Generac 20kw 2013 model on 3.5 acre farm
Outstanding!! Highly recommend. We bought a farm back in 2019 that had a generac 20kw generator already installed and on use, score!! Going through the records on the unit found it to be a 2013 model with low hours on it, score! Did all maintenance on the unit since I wasnt sure of the last time it was done. Unit does its weekly 15 minute run, no issues. Just had a big storm come through northern illinois that knocked out power to tens of thousands of people and within seconds our generac is on and running. Power was out for over 26 hours, generator ran without a hitch for my families safety and comfort. Powered by our LP tank we were set for whatever mother nature dishes out. Thank you Generac for keeping my family safe and warm. Would recommend this to ANYONE ANYWHERE!

Peace of Mind
Having a Generac 20K whole house generator installed by Metro Electric has given my wife and I peace of mind. If there is a power outage we will have the power we need. The workers of Metro Electric did a GREAT JOB! They continued working even though there was a yellow jacket nest right where they had to work. The worker got stung three times on the head. The other worker was stung on the neck! the pipe fitters putting in the gas line were stung as well, but they continued the job until it was done. I would recommend Metro Electric to anyone who wants a whole house generator. We were very impressed with the way the gas line was all painted and the cleanup of the job site was done. Great job!
