Generac home generators?

   Is anyone using one of their systems? If so, how quiet are they? I'm looking to upgrade my 7500w portable for something automatic, and getting away from running multiple ext. cords

I have a Briggs & Stratton that's about that size with automatic transfer switch, and installed it myself (not for the faint if heart). It's about 9 years old and still works great, and it got a lot of use this winter. It is noisy though. We'll probably upgrade fairly soon, so I'd like to hear how your generac works out, especially wrt noise.

6 to 8 weeks we'll have a small 7.5kw system instslled[emoji16] it'll be a "Managed" system instead of a whole house due to cost.

We have one at a remote location. Definitely not quite. Biggest problem has been getting it to start.. Control panel drains battery and it didn't have a charging loop built in. A Solar panel wasn't enough to keep the battery charged. Had to add a car battery charger in a charging loop

you want quiet? I suggest a Honda generator.

unless they have a new model out they are not quiet....Honda and Yamaha are quiet, but cost twice as much or more.

Go propane & Honda, although they are hard to find. Some other manufacturers use Honda engines, although I can't remember which at the moment.

I have a Honda 8000. Its quiet compared to others in its class. But expensive..
