Even A Master Electrician Can Install It

Review Posted 08/10/2013 
I am a seasoned master electrician and I have seen many handyman home owners botch up electrical installs. This switch package makes it easy for a homeowner with average skills to get it all right. So as a master electrician, I appreciated the pre thinking that went into this switch package so it goes into service easily and right the first time. Guess you could say, "even a master could get it right"!!

The Generac Guardian 17kw generator with the 100-amp indoor automatic load center runs very smoothly and performs flawlessly. It really gives one a feeling of security. Keep up the good work Generac.

Well, we finally got to try our Generac out, for real this time. The power went out for a hour or so. The generator came on just seconds after. Nothing skipped a beat.

We were doing laundry, running the computer, vacuuming, etc. It was as though there was no power outage at all. This is exactly what we were hoping for.

This purchase will surely make life easier, and will be a big perk, come the day we sell our home.
