"This unethical company tried to charge $1600 to change the control circuit board on my Generac generator.

Avoid these gougers, they are unethical and rip people off if you let them, don't let them."

"Where do I start? How about the most recent event. The straight line winds through Houston Heights, which occurred on May 16th. Our block lost power and our Generac 20KW standby generator kicked on, as it should. This unit was installed by Quality Generator years ago. It stopped working on May 20th about 3 hours before power was restored. I called for service, and they were swamped, so I scheduled a service call for June 13th. The technician showed up and replaced the motherboard on my generator at a cost of almost $500 + the Service Call. He said that all was okay now and I had no issues. 6 days later, I did a test by disconnecting my utility power, and the standby generator failed. I called Quality Generator and scheduled for technician #2 to show up on June 24th. That technician was unable to root cause the issue and said that I would need another technician to come out to further investigate. I attempted to schedule service visit #3 to no avail. Ultimately, I showed up at the doorstep of Quaility Generators on July 1st. At first, I spoke with an elderly woman individual from the scheduling department. I explained that my generator was still not running, that I had 2 service calls on it already, and that I was having issues with getting another individual from Quality Generators scheduled to continue the diagnosis. I also said that between the motherboard and the service call, that I was already into the service of my generator at almost $700. There was a previous technician who knew his stuff that left Quality Generators at the end of last year. I asked this elderly lady if I should follow the technician who had a clue or stay with Quality Generators since I was $700 into the fix already. She literally shrugged her shoulders and gave me a puff and walked away. I then spoke directly with the scheduling manager, and he indicated that a master service technician would arrive on July 3rd. Service visit #3 came on time as the scheduling manager indicated. He diagnosed the issue as an airbox crack issue, that is known on older Generac Generators. He did not have one in his van, and said that I would have to get another service call to replace (#4). I called to schedule visit #4 multiple times on July 3rd with no response. I finally spoke with the Scheduling Manager at 5:45 and was promised an answer either that day or first thing on the morning of July 5th as to if Quality Generators had the part or not and timing for the follow up #4 site visit. I called on July 5th after lunch, and left a voicemail for the Scheduling Manager. I called again at 5:45pm (they close at 6:00), and I was told that the scheduling department left at 5:00pm. WHAT DOES AN INDIVIDUAL HAVE TO DO, TO GET SERVICE ON A TIMELY MANNER FROM A COMPANY? I am a complete loss, and now I have a hurricane landing in the area."

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:
Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000
Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300
Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000
When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:
Refrigerator: 600 watts
Large dehumidifier: 700 watts
Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts
Water heater: 3,000 watts
Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running.
Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:
Portable generator:
2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers.
4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.
8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.
Partial to whole-house generator:
20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:
Experience frequent or prolonged power outages
Work from home
Store a lot of cold food
Have a sump pump
Have a pump for well water
Use electronic medical devices
Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
