Generac 22kw. People shitting on them but if you maintain them, they run
This. Brought the family to my dad’s. He has a Generac 22KW. I maintain it for him, so I knew it was ready. Ran for 8 days straight, no modifications to power usage, with one 30 minute pause for an oil change. Always full synthetic, with new filters. Gotta do the valve adjustment soon.

My theory on generac whole home’s is that EVERYONE has them. This leads to a few things:
People don’t know how or just don’t maintain them
NG supply is an issue
The sample size is huge
They don’t know how to operate them
So of course if there’s a tons of that single model out there, there will be stories of them breaking more than all the other random brands.
One guy was bitching to me today about how he knew someone that had a brand new one and it failed. I asked if it was maintained. They said it was brand new. I said yes, so did they change the oil after break in and at the proper intervals after that? “No”. Well………….
I added “they don’t know how to operate them”. I saw one walking to my office today (it’s next to a neighborhood) and they were running It without the side panel to keep it cool. You can’t do that. That’s not how it works. It has to be fully assembled so it can pull air across the engine. It being open is way worse.
