There are 5 Generac standby on the street where my NJ house is. Over the space of about half a mile.
We get power outages fairly frequently, and once every two years, we get a multi-day one.
Not a single one of these Generacs has failed when we needed it most. In fact, mine ran for days after Sandy. I changed the oil two days in. I have literally had zero issues with it.
I also work with an Electrician who is a Kohler dealer but services all types of Standby gensets. He tells me he gets more calls on Generacs. I then asked him what's the proportion of calls on Kohler vs Generac? About the same because there are about 10x more Generacs than anything else.
