Risks of Not Buying Your Whole Home Generator from the Experts

Limited Warranties

One of the first things you'll notice when shopping for generators at a big-box store is that the warranties offered are often less comprehensive than those available directly from generator dealers.

Warranties are crucial because they provide peace of mind and financial protection in case of unexpected issues.

Big-box stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot offer little to no warranties above the manufacturer warranties, and even then, they require multiple paperwork steps to submit and get approval.

Expert Installation

Installing a Generac whole home generator is a complex task that requires a deep understanding of electrical systems and local building codes. While some home improvement reatailers may offer installation services, you must consider the qualifications of the installers.

Are they experts? Are they Generac certified?

Electricians who are certified Generac dealers employ expert technicians who are specifically trained to install Generac generators.

They have successfully completed Generac training, are well-versed in the manufacturer's guidelines, and can ensure that your generator is installed correctly and safely.

This expertise is essential because an improperly installed generator can lead to serious safety hazards, including electrical fires and damage to your home.

Customer Service and Support

When you purchase a generator from a hardware store, you may have to rely on the store's general customer service, which may not have the specialized knowledge required to assist you with generator-related issues.

Large home improvement retailers have thousands of customers to shift through.

Calling the trying to track down the right person to talk to about your generator will most likely involve a phone tree and multiple transfers.

Electricians who are also certified Generac dealers are better equipped to handle any questions or concerns you may have. They…

  • Provide guidance on maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs.

  • Have direct access to Generac's technical support team.
