Appreciate the time, effort and very useful detailed information your video provided. It gives me a much better idea of what one can expect to shell out for a Generac. Also, what you can expect to pay for installation and maintenance. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Living in this great country 🇺🇸 since 1983. Originally from Central America Honduras. I m so grateful that this country has provide me and my entire family with all the things and comfort that We have. Everything has been obtained with honest and hard work. I just traveled to Israel and turkey and was reminded and realized how blessed we are in this great country. A lot of countries have this jealousy of us. But that’s fine. Have been working for 25 years with Caterpillar. Awesome American company. 🇺🇸

As you age life is more about convenience. Having a home generator is a massive convenience. I did the less expensive way for years with a portable generator. No more. It’s all about quality of life now. Great video. Thanks

[MediumMosley]

Great video. One thing I would recommend is make sure to spray around and up the skirts of the generator every so often for bugs. I didn't know this and my Generac generator just gave over a warning when doing the weekly exercise and after paying $190 for a technician to come out they found a huge ant infestation inside of the generator, which if any electrical components fail it is not covered under Generac's warranty. Also I purchased mine from Costco and got a 10% Costco shop card which was almost $1000.

To anyone watching this now, the national average for installation currently is equal to or more than the equipments cost. As well as you will not find a new 22kw for $4800. And remember, this is a piece of emergency equipment, it has a huge convenience factor, but only if it runs flawlessly. With that said, cheap work isn’t good, and good work isn’t cheap.

I have a 20kW version, installed back in 2014, also on nat gas. I'm up in Chicagoland. Doing annual maint (plugs/filter/oil, I think I'm on my 3rd battery), and only part that failed on the unit was the low oil pressure switch, which leaked. Part was $35.

I have had a couple of 24+ hour outages and several few hour outages, and the transfer switch just handles it all. The whole house can run on generator including the A/C, condensing boiler and air handler, but not the induction stovetop and electric oven. I even powered my two neighbors with extension cords so they could keep their fridges going during those long outages. Been worth it, peace of mind, all hard wired with a transfer switch, no gasoline to deal with, safe as no chance to backfeed to the grid. Cheers!

You took your time in making this video explaining what is involve for anyone thinking about a home generator. You did answer some questions I had. I appreciate the time and effort. Thank you.

If running for days during a long term outage, shutdown every 12 hours and inspect machine and check oil level and for leaks. Change the oil every 3 days if using Conventional oil, every 6 days if using Amsoil Small Engine Synthetic. If you don't change the oil this frequently, you will pay! It is an Air Cooled engine so oil breaks down fast. I have installed and maintain 4 of these for my family.

My parents experienced a big snowstorm a few weeks ago that killed power in our rural area for 2-3 days (not uncommon). My grandparents, who live 1/4 mile from my parents, had one of these Generac units installed last summer and they only had a brief 30 second hiccup before everything came back on at their house. My parents decided after having to do laundry and cook meals at their house for a few days that they were going to get one of the 24kw models installed ASAP.
Thanks for the video, it was very clear and concise and will be a big help to my parents as they are getting theirs installed!

[giovannismith]

Sir, you are so kind for the walk through and explaining things. They need to give you a referral code for this video because you were extremely thorough!

[jcdaz]

Mine has run flawlessly for over 20 years on propane. I change the oil once a year myself and it has never failed us. I live in rural NW Washington State and winter power outages are expected 3-10 days at a time multiple times per winter. This is a no brain purchase! Good video. Thx

[rosslarsen]

Had the 20KW installed about 10 years ago. Has been a great backup and peace of mind knowing you will have heat and cooling depending on season. Our city power department is one of the best and we have few outages, but the handful of times the power has been out, it was great. Thanks for the video and very informative and very accurate information.

[brianharris]

I have a 16kw unit that I installed and service myself. It has been dependable for over 10 years and going strong. I used to service generators for a living and to me Generac is by far the best.

I'm in the get a quote phase and I've looked at a ton of videos on Generac generators. This is the best video I've seen. Seeing all the numbers is really helpful because it told me my first quote for my generator was too much. On to more quotes!

[steveshimp]

My wife and I bought a house in southwest Florida in Feb 2022 that had a 22KW Generac setup already installed in 2018 (550 gallon propane tank fuel supply). Hurricane Ian came through Sep 28 2022, and my parents rode out the storm and the aftermath at the house. The Generac performed flawlessly until utility power was restored on October 9. Only thing to note was the need to keep checking and topping off the oil level as it ran continuously. We had a digital antenna setup, so my parents were able to stay informed with the local news stations, even with cell and internet service being down.

Thanks for your video! Very informative. We just got our Generac installed last week (just as Fall starts) and we are very relieved to have it.  We told our elderly neighbors (who do not have electrical back up) that we would throw them an extension cord so they could charge their phones and keep their refrigerator running if the power goes out on our street. Some folks need electricity to run their refrigerator for their insulin. Some folks may need a nebulizer for their asthma or oxygen machine. When the power goes down, we won't freeze and we will have the opportunity to help our neighbor's too! Besides, adding an all house generator to your home will be beneficial to the value of your home. It is a win-win.

This is one of the best videos explaining a product! Thank you for the professional work! I worry it is too loud for our home due to neighbors! Thank you sir!

[leilanirocks]

My 22KW unit happened to be running it’s weekly test when I came across your video. Very nice and thorough rundown of the process of getting one of these set up. Pretty much mirrored my experience.

Up here we had a holiday ice storm in 2013 or 14 that ruined Christmas and I said “never again”. Couple years later I spent around $7K and zero regrets. Powers everything we have and would power more. My case is stainless steel so will never rust. Peace of mind can be hard to come by these days and this Generac truly does provide it.

[brenttuttle]

I have a Generac 22kw. Runs everything for our 3000 square ft house. It's worked flawlessly for 3 years. I thought the price was reasonable. I'm out in the country so I also had to purchase a tank ( I went with a 500 gallon buried tank) and of course fill it up. I my total for everything was about $12k
Best $$ I've ever spent!

This is the most useful and precise review I have see on youtube. Thank you Sir for explaining everything just from a consumer perspective.
