Home represents security, health, convenience, and safety—principles all homeowners hold dear. Don’t put these ideals at risk. Every year, millions of homeowners go without power during extended power outages that last hours, days, even weeks. No power means no lights, heating or air conditioning. The Internet doesn’t work. Food spoils in refrigerators and freezers. A day or two without power can cost thousands in repairs and irreplaceable lost heirlooms, treasures, and memories. A Champion Home Standby Generator can change everything.

8.5 horsepower home generator
Our generator is very quiet and has performed wonderfully when we have had power outages.

No Warranty Service
I installed the generator myself as I have experience working with electric service panels and natural gas. The unit was relatively easy to install and seemed well designed. The generator started to have problems starting and wouldn't start during our only extended outage in the 3 years since I bought it. I called a local service provider (forgetting I had warranty coverage) and he diagnosed a bad starter. I called Champion to arrange service and they explained that's not how it worked, they would take my name and call me back about the warrantee service. IT's been two weeks since that happened and they have not called me back. A 10 year Warranty isn't any use if they won't honor it.

Works great
I installed it last week. works great. It's Quiet just like they said. You have to buy 2 motorcycle batterys, wire, and pipe, and if you know what your doing in 2 or 3 days it's running. The Champion product looks and runs GREAT, better than my neighbors Generac. I would buy again.
