I install Cummins/Onan, the local supply house stocks them, so I don’t have to keep any inventory. No having to pay Generac for classes. So far in 25 years, I’ve only had to replace a transferswitch. Can’t say that about the Generac’s I’ve installed. They are a little harder to install because they are not made for homeowners like Generac. I’ve had to do the controls for other EC’s. Also no having to connect to the internet for startup.We tried the Generac dealer route for two years. No longer doing it. Lots of competition in our area, and the big box stores are selling whole home generators cheaper than our cost. Generac is a great product and they have great support. Generac classes are required (or used to be) to maintain status and tech support. We were typically getting between $10k-$11k for a 24kW installation with transfer switch. Annual maintenance is very easy and takes roughly 30-40 minutes. That's been our experience, in a nutshell.
