Review Posted 03/22/2018
Thanks to our new Generac standby generator and transfer switch, we no longer need to worry about heavy snow, wind, or ice causing power outages. During the one outage we have had since, installation (just over a month ago), everything worked as it should the lights came right back on!

Generac Model 7031 Installation
By Snow Man
Northern, New York
Purchased 06/25/2017 |
Review Posted 08/26/2017
The Generac Model 7031 is a Guardian 11 KW Generator Only package. The smallest in the line up of residential air cooled automatic stand by generators - that has a two cylinder engine. The Double Pole 50 Amp output breaker was matched to a Generac Disconnect which was purchased separately. This allows a transition from the outside elements to 60 feet of 1"PVC installed across the cellar. At the other end of the PVC is a Generac Remote Transfer Switch which was also purchased separately. Placed right beside the homes 200 Amp Service Panel, it contains the Essential Circuits to be powered by the generator in the event of a Utility Power Loss.
This generator was chosen to address the needs of Two cylinders, lower cost of fuel when required to run for prolonged time frames, enough power to provide the needs of the home owner and its performance track record to date.

I had a gas power generator that worked fine but I had to start it manually. This one will make life easier. The electrician I hired was impressed with the improvements they have made to the generator. Now just waiting for the first power outage

Thanks Nice Unit
By Barbara L.

Purchased 05/08/2017 |
Review Posted 06/10/2017
Great unit for the price, plenty of room to add more utilities like even a central air conditioner ect. But most of all the automatic on and off is best, as well as having the option for run on LP gas.

Good Value For That Little Extra "Step Up" You Want To Take
By Michael B.
Onsted, Michigan
Purchased 03/15/2017 |
Review Posted 05/06/2017
I was looking for a little more than what I had, but did not want to spend a lot of money. This one is the perfect size for me, and it did not break my bank account. Moving from my old 7k to this 11k was a win-win. It is also capable of running my air conditioner during a power outage and is actually quieter. The fuel usage rating did not go up that much either. More bang for the buck if you have a modest sized house and you want to run just a little bit more. I paired it up with the Generac RTG16EZA1 sixteen circuit prewired transfer switch. They make an awesome couple.

Great well built generator for a great price and no taxes. I also got a free $400 pressure washer with it. Can't beat the deal.

Generator Is Waiting
By Phyllis J.
Barryville, New York
Purchased 12/12/2016 |
Review Posted 02/16/2017
Our generator is waiting for a power outage, but that hasn't happened yet. It comes on automatically on Sunday mornings as a test as it is supposed to. This is the second Generac generator we have had. We used to live in an area with frequent power outages and wouldn't live without a standby generator. Our first was a Generac and it was running well after well over 10 years, so we wouldn't consider another brand.

We moved recently and had to purchase a new generator. Our old Generac Generator had been working well for over 10 years in an area with frequent power outages, so we wanted to stay with Generac
