Everything You Need to Know about Generac Generators

If you have been thinking about purchasing a generator, but have been hesitant to make the investment, keep reading to learn everything you need to know about Generac generators so that you can make an informed decision.

Why Generac?

First and foremost, Generac is the most trusted name in generators. They have been in business since 1959 and are now the world’s largest provider. This also means that they have an extensive network of retailers and technicians to help customers.

Why Should I Get an Automatic Backup Generator?

Anything from severe weather to problems with the electrical grid can cause the power to go out. This means that you won’t have the usual access to the resources that help you stay safe and comfortable. With an automatic backup generator, your power will instantly be restored. The generator will be directly connected to your natural gas or LP fuel source. You won’t have to worry about creating carbon monoxide and you can power either the whole home or certain essential appliances.

What Size Generator Do I Need?

The right size generator will depend on the size of your home, your budget, and how much you want to power. A Generac consultant can help you explore these variables and make recommendations based on your individual case.

How Often Do I Have to Maintain My Generator?

You will want to regularly change the oil and filters in order to ensure that your generator is operational when you need it most. It is a good idea to perform maintenance tasks about every six months to help prolong the life of your generator.

Ultimately, Generac generators are a great tool for any home and offer reliable service that will keep your home powered. You can feel confident that you are working with the best when you purchase a Generac generator. To learn more and find the right generator product for you, contact Alternative Power.

Alternative Power has been great to work with, from planning through installation and warranty registration.

The entire house generator quote was effectively communicated through multiple emails and phone conversations. The sales person was well versed in the selection and electrical aspect of the needed work. Following the contract signing, Alternative Power secured city permits and scheduled the installation date. The physical and electrical installation process was completed within six hours, with preliminary electrical approvals obtained from the city inspector. The gas connection was finalized the following day. The start-up was scheduled for after four days of final electrical and gas inspections. The total time for the start-up process was three hours, including and excluding load. I requested the start-up checklist, which should have been provided at the conclusion of the start-up but was delayed for several days. A minor issue was the uncleaned electrical panels, which I vacuumed during the start-up process. It is essential that electrical panels are free from debris. Additionally, the dirt from the electrical conduit ditch was left on top of the nearby condensate drip collection point, which Alternative Power removed the following day.

Easy process from start to finish. Generator (Generac) had a few issues upon initial start up but they were figured out and fixed (not Alternatives fault). The customer service manager Theresa is a major force in getting situations worked out to the customers satisfaction after installation and when she says she will do something she does it! Our service tech Jeremy is great and kept us posted and took the time to explain the issues we were having. Pam in scheduling is great as well for the installation which took two days. She knows all the right people to call! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them again and we will be using them for all our Generac maintenance needs!
