What is the noise level rating of this generator?

Answers

Generac does not test the sound level of its portable generators, as there is no industry standard for conducting such a test, and the results could be misleading. However, the sound level of our portable generators is comparable with many on the market today.

is this generator compatible with reliance transfer switch model #31406CRK as far as the grounding requirements

Answers

Compatibility between the XG7000E and another brand’s transfer switch cannot be guaranteed, as the generators are tested for compatibility with only Generac products. Generac now offers their own line of manual transfer switches compatible with the XG7000E unit.

The Reliance Controls Transfer Switch Kit will work with most portable generators. Some generators(including the XG7000) that have the neutral bonded to ground may not work with this kit. Please contact the manufacturer (Reliance Controls Corp) to ensure compatibility.

it is not a brushless design, but most solid state electronics convert the ac into DC, so they are usually very forgiving.

FREE SHIPPING - Generac XG7000E Portable Generator - 8750 Surge Watts, 7000 Rated Watts, 410cc Generac OHVI Engine with Electric Start, Model# 5798 2.5 5 2 2

Factory defective, very poor customer service... I decided to replace my old, problematic Colman Powermate generator, with a new, higher quality unit. After reading reviews on the larger portable units, my choice was narrowed to two manufactures; Honda and Generac. My electrical needs dictated a machine with a 6000 to 8000 kW capacity. Both companies offered equipment in this range as well a several units with homeowner, commercial, and industrial ratings. I decided to buy American (we need the jobs!) and to buy an upgraded, commercial unit, just in case. I purchased my Generac XG7000 from Northern Tool Co. and had it shipped by truck to my home. The installation was very straight forward and because of my previous unit, all the electrical lines, grounding and platform were in place. However, because I had had problems with gasoline's gummy aging issues in the past… and yes, I did use the additives… I decided that I would add a small amount of fuel to the new Generac, test the starting of the engine, and let it use what small amount I had in the tank, stopping when the carburetor ran dry. I wanted the gas tank and carburetor empty. I then removed the spark plug, and lightly oil down the cylinder walls as recommended for storage, or until I needed to use it. Last week, as the hurricane Sandy approached, I filled the Generac's gas tank and assured my family that we've done everything that we could do to get ready. The winds were high, our neighborhood's trees started to fall, and we lost power around eight that evening. It was clearly too dangerous to walk across the yard to our garage, so I waited until the morning to power it up. The generator started on the first pull, but when the transfer switch was turned on in the house… no power! I ran back to the garage and pushed the circuit breakers buttons on the generator… no lights in the house. This (yet to be used) generator was not working. I called Nothern Tool and they told me to contact Generac, which I did (and waited for 20 minuets!) and spoke with a customer service rep. He told me that I had to transport the unit to their local dealer/service center… a well respected local generator installer, Cannondale Generator in Wilton CT. As bad as the weather was, I borrowed the neighbors station wagon and dropped it off that afternoon. Cannondale was clearly overwhelmed with service calls, but said that if I left it, they would have someone take a look at it in the next two to three days! It was made clear to me that their customers would have priority, which I understood. I went home to a dark, cold, waterless house. In the next few days our home dropped to 52 degrees, we had thrown out our spoiled food, used the showers at the high school, overdressed to stay warm, and carted our water from the forestation. My family was miserable and I was not a happy camper. Four days later, Cannondale's mechanic was able to look at my unit and told me that it had factory defect and should have never have gotten past quality control at the factory… and to top things off, he did not have the parts needed for repair. I was in shock. I had prepared for this event by purchasing a quality generator, and I got a lemon! I left the shop and called Generac from my car. Once again I was placed on 'hold', having to listen to Generacs recorded promotion… telling me of their 'reliable solution', assurance of 'real value', that I would 'never feel powerless',and insuring the quality of their 'largest, nationwide dealer service'. Once again customer service eventually answered my call. After I explained the experience that I've had with their product and stating that I would like Generac to provide a replacement unit, or a refund, the rep. apologized profusely, but insisted that refund or replacement was not the policy of Generac, but they would honor the 2 year warrantee by repairing the unit. I informed him of the lack of parts and that no completion date was offered to me. He again apologized and informed me that this was all that the factory was prepared to do! I asked if I could speak with his supervisor… there was a pause, and he the told me that he was the supervisor… in fact, that he was the Vice President of Sales for Generac, and simply helping out with the phones because of the flood of calls due to the storm. I was speechless. It was clear that Generac had no interest in customer satisfaction. If not a refund or replacement, why not offer a repair priority? or FedEx the needed parts? or extend the warrantee? The apology was simply not enough. It was Saturday, and on my ride home, I was informed by radio newscast of the new Noreaster… a storm to arrive Wednesday with 60 mph gusts. While I owned a Generac, I've been without its service through one of the largest storm crises in the history of the east coast. Generac has shown just how much they care about individual consumers who use their products. November 8, 2012

Backup Power Generator starts easy, comes with oil and extra oil filter. This generator has plenty of power to run the house (including well pump, and sump pumps) during outages. Cons: burns lots of gas. August 30, 2012
