Nice, Not Thrilling, But Nice.

Was reasonable easy to install. Gives client extra piece of mind during those occasional below zero excursions.
Spring clamps in kit not the stainless ones pictured not as good IMHO.

Great Product For Cold Climates

Review Posted 11/11/2015 
I installed this kit on my generac 27 kW generator. The instructions were adequate and overall the kit was easy to install. I can't see how this should only be installed by an authorized technician. It's just not that hard to do. Everything you need for the install is included. The unit works great and keeps the engine nice and warm. A great product that I hope gives me years of service.

Cold Weather Kit Installation
By Richard C.

Review Posted 09/05/2012 
The instructions need to be rewritten, but you can muddle through and it worked fine.

Installing the battery blanket is easy enough, but then the battery does not fit into the battery tray. I had to install a piece of 2x8 into the box and set the battery on that, but then it leans against the generator.
