Rated 5 out of 5 by from Peace of Mind I live in a rural area that has suffered multiple power outages during the 11 years that I have lived here lasting from a few minutes to almost 4 days in length. The Generac whole house generator gives me peace of mind knowing that I will not lose power for multiple days again, that my frozen food will not go bad, and that I will be able to continue to live independently. It was installed yesterday. The gentlemen from Raddant Electric Service in Shawano, WI who did the installation were attentive, provided excellent information, and kept me apprised of their progress. Well done!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from this product is a god send and meats all our needs We had a Generac for 15 years and it finely wore out from all the hurricanes we get in Florida and we need electricity due to the medical needs in our family. Between the company that installed the generator and the Generac company you could not ask for a more professional service and they all were very helpful in making sure we understood everything for beginning to end. A special thank you to Holly Electric team (Samuel, Matt and carl) when they finished the job every thing was picked up and clean. I could not ask for a better team Tanks to everyone Awesome job done by all.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible generator warranty Two year old generator. Controller failed last week while doing the recommended firmware update. Part is covered under warranty. Electrician diagnostic charge and installing the controller is not. Just had to fork out $250. for a two year old Generac 22k unit.
