The Electric Touch Company are the BEST!!
Loving my new Generator that was installed by the Lads from The Electric Touch Company they completed the job in a timely fashion explained everything to me and now my Unit is running great, its only been a few weeks and my unit has been used at least 4 times so far. I’m happy I made this investment.

Does the job but not made well
The company makes products that are hard to use and this unit was very difficult in getting the monitors figured out. Makes a lot of notice

Peace of mind.
Good looking and not too noisy! I’d order this product again if needed.

25 months old major part failure
Have a large home generator. Smoke pouring out just a few weeks after annual service.
Pretty disappointed in a major piece failing in just 25 months of ownership. Especially since it was all checked out this month and all was supposed to be good. Is this normal?? Would like to know/how why? Not a good sign for the huge price paid.

Works well
A good sized investment because we don’t feel the power grid is going to serve us well over the next 10 years.
Quality Home Services did an excellent job in design, permits, installation and training.

Great genny
Waited 9 weeks for generator.
Ordered it with a cold weather kit. Generac never installed the cold weather kit. I had to install it. Which includes cutting the brand new coolant hoses. I would say if you order something brand new and order the accessories then it should come with them installed. Also very little room for the battery!
Other than that great generator!!

Multiple issues
Ordered 9 months in advance by our builder, unit was late and had multiple issues. Multiple service personnel sent over a 6 month period..finally insisted on replacement. Took 2+ months but finally in. Hopefully works when needed. Market share is an issue. Hope service is there when i need it! The subs were great,,,this was a product issue.

very bad
How can anyone recommend this product when you make it impossible to get the generator activated as you never respond to phone calls or emails about getting it commissioned and tested. I have emailed and called many times and it’s been installed for 2 years and still has not been activated!!! All you want to do is sell generators and don’t give a hoot about follow up or activation, I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND YOUR PRODUCT, DON’T CARE IF IT’S SUPPOSEDLY THE BEST GENERATOR ON THE PLANET, DOESN’T DO ME ANY GOOD IF ITS NOT OPERATIONAL!!!!
