Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Property Projects & Construction Standby generators

Neighbor and my dad have the same brand generator. Dad had a private contractor install it (and he purchased it from them) and the neighbor bought his from Lowes. Both run on propane/lng and auto start once a week. Neighbor had to have a private contractor come in and re-install it - the contractor that Lowes hired botched the install disconnecting ground rod from main circuit panel being only one of the problems.

IIRC nieghbor went with a 14KW Generac Guardian, Dad went with a 17KW or 20KW model. Neither has had any problems with the unit, both have used them. Dad's has been in service for 3 years so far, the neighbor 2 years.
