Failed Within One Month Of Being Installed
By Richard J

Purchased 05/25/2024 | 
Review Posted 07/12/2024 
Set this up with property that had a couple of houses we installed a 14KW in this 10 kW. The 10KW fails pressure switch sensor. If that's actually the case. We installed it roughly a month ago and we had a hurricane and it won't run these people needed it if they are on oxygen. So instead of sitting comfy in their house they had to go to the other property and shack up with other people

Review Posted 12/05/2023 
The install went pretty well until trying to start the gen for the first time. Needed to call to find an authorized service to come and trouble shoot. Carb butterfly was jambed and some wiring loose. Once those items were corrected it started fine. Might wish to check QC process?? Second gen sent to me, first one damaged during shipment.

Mounted on a small trailer with 2 100 lb lp tanks. Pull into hunting camp and have 60 amps 240volt for a week depending on load. Only draw back is 120 v external power required for battery charger circuit. Alarms even with solar charger connected to battery.

review 4 image 1
I have had a Generac HSG since 2005 It was still running it got me thru 11 days of no power with Hurricane Ian. I have been looking at a replacement for about 6 mo. Only because of its age. Right after Ian I decided to call Electric Generators Direct and order a new 10k. I ordered it on Monday and the truck delivered it to Fl on Friday. I made some modifications to placement and had the new Generac HSB online the next week. I am now good for another 18 years
Electric Generators Direct made this whole process a piece of cake even with all the chaos due to the Hurricane

Replacement Generator
By John K

Review Posted 08/13/2022 
Just recently had a replacement for an original generator that was a Generac with a guardian 10K. Had it installed with John from Acme Electric in Rhode Island. John was excellent to deal with did a wonderful job in a timely manner and explained all the new features. Only ran it for a test but I’m sure it’s going to work fine.

This generator has been installed and tested for just about two weeks. I have not had the opportunity to use it in an outage situation but the weekly exercise function works on schedule.

Review Posted 07/23/2021 
After a lengthy back-order, generator arrived in good shape. Limited nearby support, so I installed myself. Instructions were clear, product was well laid out. High quality parts. Wifi connect needed troubleshooting but believe this was on my side due to nearby running heat pumps. So far, so good!
