Peace of Mind / Quality / Convenience

Living in the heartland, "...where the wind comes sweeping down the plain...", and the ever present possibility of bitter cold and ice storms in the winter, the threat of power outages is high. We experience a mean average of 5-7 outages a year. Those outages can last minutes to days, anecdotally, 2-4 hours in my experience. No more portable gensets, no more stored gasoline, no more extension cords and inlet boxes, no more breakers and interlocks. No more fighting the elements to get the power back on. Generac does all that automatically and in about 15-20 seconds. That friends, is peace of mind!

Powerhouse beast!!

Bought the 22kw generator, and we feel so relieved when the power goes out, that our Generac will start, and transfer power over to the house within seconds. It powers the whole house with ease. The 3 ton central A.C., double wall mounted ovens, all 4 burners on our glass cooktop stove, and well pump. It's like we've never lost power! Also, when utility power comes back, it transfers power back with zero interruption! Love it! Thanks Generac!
