Replaced old Generac with a new one
Well initially mixed feelings on my new generator…..after 2 1/2 weeks of battery issues our installers got a technician out who discovered a bad wire connection which apparently occurred during the build of it. It kept draining the battery which our installers replaced twice and finally after some significant trouble shooting the problem was discovered.Glad we did not have any power outages. Hopefully everything will now work like it should.
Would appreciate a Generac company customer service representative contact me to discuss the reason l had to replace my previous 36 KVW one.

I would recommend the Generac Generator
I would recommend the Generac Generator. It nice to know that you will have power if the power goes out. The system looks nice.

A few things to consider....
It's a little early to give a full review about the functionality and reliability of the unit since I have not had an outage yet, but here are my initial thoughts:
1. It's big - kind of an eye sore. Had I known how big it was, I would have been a little more thoughtful on where I placed it or maybe had selected a smaller model. PowerOn, (my sales consultant) was not helpful in this respect.
2. It's LOUD. Like, freight train loud. You'd think that Generac would put a muffler on it given its use in a residential setting.
3. It took 12 months to deliver. Yeah, I get the whole supply chain horse hockey we went through. My salesman didn't set a good expectation here and internal Generac support didn't communicate very well. But what really irritated me is everywhere I went (google, social media, et al) there were constant ads and promotions about buying a Generac home protection generator. How about fill your existing orders before you go on a robust marketing push to sell more generators.
4. It takes a ton of fuel to run. I have a 500 gallon propane tank solely dedicated to this unit and I'll be lucky to get 3 days of protection. We will definitely use our appliances sparingly when an outage occurs.
-So that's all I have for now. I don't regret my order and I'm sure I'll be smiling when we have a power outage, but I should have done my due diligence before my purchase - that's totally on me.

This product has more features than I expected.
The longer it took to receive the generator the larger it got. I was concerned that I oversized it, but when it finally got here, I was pleased. It has more features than I had remembered it coming with. That's a plus. It does just like it's advertised. I highly recommend this generator. It's well worth the money.
