I researched generators for several months and made a decision to purchase a 20K Generac Generator.
I wanted a 200 Amp switch so the model 5744 met all my requirements. I also purchased the wireless monitoring system so I could control the generator from inside my home.
I visited several websites and determined Electric Generators Direct.com had the most information, and the customer service department helped me with all my questions.
I placed my order on-line and my generator with all the accessories showed up on time and in perfect shape. So far, so good- I was very excited to get my generator up and ready to provide me power on the next outage.
I started to look for a qualified electrician and plumber to install my new toy. I got several quotes and they varied from $2K up to $10K to install and that was just electrical, I still need the gas to be plumbed.
I started to worry I did not anticipate the cost of installation and this was a big mistake. Make sure you get several quotes for electrical and gas plumbing before you purchase your generator and don’t go with the first bid. I got 6 bids and finally found a local electrician and plumber that gave me an honest quote. The final installation cost for electric and plumbing came to about $2400.00 dollars.
I finally got my generator installed, tested and ready for action. I love the remote monitoring and it works great- I have the display sitting next to my bed for easy access.
We finally got to use our generator last week and it worked perfect: the power went off, the generator turned on for about four hours, and when the power came on it shut off. It worked great!
We were the only house with power. Thank You Electric Generators Direct.com!
