Q: just bought the eco generator today and need a cold start/warm kit for battery etc.. but seeing an exact fit for what I have ??? is there one??? by Chris from Connecticut on October 21, 2011
A: Unfortunately, there is not a cold weather kit for the Eco-Gen at this time. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: What is a composite pad ? by CHARLES BLYTHE from North Carolina on April 08, 2011
A: The composite pad is a strong, lightweight mounting pad provided to simplify the installation. By including the pad with the generator, installation time and cost is reduced since a concrete base is no longer a requirement. by Jim, Product Expert

Q: Hello Jim, do you have, or can you recommend stand-by generator installers for the Houston, Texas area? We are in the N.W. Houston area. by David Reece from Texas on February 13, 2011
A: Since we do not get involved in the installation process and since we ship all over the continental US we do not have a list of installers to provide. You can contact a local Generac dealer who may do installations at a reasonable price and will provide you with the best installation knowledge. You do not necessarily have to purchase a Generac generator from them to utilize their installation and they would be your resource for maintenance and warranty repairs.
Q: Is this generator (Model 5884) a good choice for off grid solar system backup. 14kw not essential circuit? by Avery Edwards from Colorado on January 25, 2011
A: The Generac 5884 generator is specifically designed for emergency backup only and will not be warranted in an off-the-grid application.
Generac did come out with a new model specifically designed for off-the-grid and solar applications.
I was a little nervous with the spec for how quiet the generator was supposed to be, as i was planning on installing it into a renewable energy system at a cabin in the woods. Last thing i wanted to do was to drown out the silence of the woods with a noisy generator. I couldn't believe how quiet it was. I have a little portable 1000W suitcase unit and this is even quieter than that! I can't wait to get the cabin done and install this for real and see how well it does out there. VERY pleased with how silent and smooth it runs!
