Champion Power Equipment 100837 14kW Home Standby Generator System, 200-Amp aXis Automatic Transfer Switch

I was impressed enough with the reviews and videos out the on this unit to proceed with purchasing one for my home and I'm glad I did. I received it within a week of ordering. The installation was fairly straightforward. I had a 250 gallon LPG tank installed to serve the HSB Generator. The 100A ATS allows for the entire internal house panel to be served during an outage so everything in the home with the exception of the HVAC, Range, and Dryer circuits. All other appliances, circuits and water heater are served by the unit. The 12.5kW unit is more than sufficient to serve all of this because with LPG the unit can serve up to 52A of load. You do have to purchase (2) 12V batteries separately and install oil in the unit before running it as it ships without batteries or oil. A concrete pad is not absolutely necessary if you have a flat compacted location for the unit. Rock would be recommended if you don't pour a pad. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking to install a HSB generator. It automatically starts and restores power in under a minute during an outage.

I've had my generator for about 4 years and haven't had a problem until recently. Evidently the starter has gone out. I called Champion customer support and they were very helpful and are sending the part.I'm very impressed by their concern for their customers!

Got this Gen after careful research about Whole Home Gens. It is overkill for my Off-Grid application, but I wanted the extra capacity for future expansion plans & to run heavy 240 V equipment when needed. Champion provides Inverter/Two Wire Dry Contact info so it will be automated for start/stop battery charging with commands from my systems ChargeVerter…

Do not buy a generator this way. Buy one only from someone who is responsible for installing it.I bought this generator, thinking the general contractor we were using for an addition could get it installed. Not so. The plumber and electrician had never seen one before and were not interested in learning. It does not work. There's both a gas leak and an electrical problem.I cannot find anyone locally (San Antonio, Texas, a city of well over 1,000,000 people) who will return my calls, much less fix it. I contacted Champion, and they have not responded so far.So far for me this has been an expensive boondoggle.

price,customer service excellent for any questions .I had a licensed electrician install unit.Had a few short power outages is worked like a charm,No service contract required.

This a well-made piece of equipthat . I was not super hard to install. I would highly recommend it.

Excellent Seller, Great Communication, Package Well, Just as Described, Would Buy from Again!!! Generator is very well designed. Even has a back enamel oil collector pan make oil change very clean and simple. They thought of the end user all the way through.

I installed the unit myself and had some issues that the company did correct. There is an internal switch which absolutely needs to be in the correct position for the correct transfer switch installation. If you are going to install one yourself, and you have questions, don't expect the answers right away on the phone. Leave your number and they generally will get back to you sometime that day. The unit does look and function well.
