| Nice piece of equipment |
| By Lonny Wagener (Greensburg, IN) |
I have a 6500 Watt generator and own a home with geothermal heat and electric water heater, and a gas fireplace for backup heat.
This 10 circuit switch is a tad bit large for my generator, but I wanted the capability to have lights, microwave, sump pump, and refrigerator circuits powered, or by turning these circuits off during the day, I can turn the hot water heater on to heat our water.
Once the water is hot, I can shut the 220 circuit off and turn all eight of the remaining circuits on which would allow us to live normally.
I used the Q Series recess kit to recess into the wall. The total installation time was approximately five hours at a relaxed pace.
Anyone with basic carpentry and electrical skills can achieve the same results I have. Instructions were excellent.
Once I identified the circuits I wanted to operate on the generator, I used an amp clamp to pre-plan balancing the generator load, thus actual installation was a breeze.
I used small color dots, seen in the picture, to identify importance and these match up with the identical color dot placed in the main fuse box on the circuit breaker.
I have given a picture to display how nice the panel looks recessed. It's a nice piece of equipment.
In the future should the need again arise for either a generator or transfer switch, I definitely will buy from this company.
I found their help to be superb and highly recommend them. |

| Love the weight of it |
| By Dan Wojcik (Sycamore, IL) |
I bought this generator after doing a lot of research. I got it in the garage and after oil and fuel, it fired right up (1st pull).
I love the weight of it with the wheels and handles. There's not much to assemble, and it came with oil and manual.
The Generac site has everything needed for reference and they are local for me Northern IL / WI.
The 6500 hooked up to my house for storms and ran everything except the water heater. I am very pleased. We shall see how she holds up during use with a lot of load draw.
There's a 2 year limited warranty from Generac, and a Good Housekeeing warranty too.
The generator runs for 9-10hrs at 1/2 load and only uses regular unleaded. It takes SAE 30 weight oil depending on the climate temperature.
My only complaint may be the plastic rimmed wheels... and I guess I can replace them if needed. |

| Great for Emergency Power |
| By Frank Dracman (Clay County, AR) |
Our rural area got hit with a bad ice storm, knocking out our electric service for over three weeks.
I purchased this generator on the second day, and had an electrician pull my meter and wire it to the house directly.
For the three weeks that I used it, all I had to do was keep pouring the gasoline into it, and change the oil about 4 times.
I could run my gas furnace, electric water heater, refrigerator a couple of lights and a TV with no problems. To be safe, I switched off the water heater and was able to use my coffee pot and one burner on my range for cooking.
The generator took around 10 gallons of gasoline per day to run, but it was worth the expense because night time temperatures dropped to the mid to upper teens each night.
My only problem with the generator happened on the very last day that I used it (with just under 300 hours on the meter). The power began to fluctuate and sometimes drop out. Fortunately for us, the power company came by about two hours later and hooked us up.
I took the generator to a nearby authorized service center, and they repaired the unit at no charge to me under warranty.
I am so impressed with this generator, I am considering purchasing a Generac home standby generator. |

| Ohio Hurricane! |
| By William Kahler (Englewood, OH) |
I bought this generator last year after the wind storm we had (notice how everyone seems to need something after the fact!!)
Well, I ordered it and was in contact with Electric Generators Direct.com's customer service the whole time- it was sent promptly and was in great shape when it got here.
The power was back on the same day it got here but I am confident that it will weather the next storm.
It is built like a brick house and it is one of the best values I have seen, plus you can't beat the customer service!! |
