How will the Generac GP17500E be delivered by truck with a liftgate or by standard box requiring customer to off load?

It will be delivered on a pallet. The pallet is delivered to your driveway. You will need to move the generator far enough off the pallet to attach it's wheels. Having a small hydraulic floor jack handy will be helpful.

Mine arrived fine. A small van dropped it off, I do not remember the delivery service name, it was not a normal carrier.

Usually UPS, but you can also request Fex-Ex. It would be insured and usually signature required as well but you can tell us your needs/wants too.

Yes they call and set up a time for delivery which can be longer if you need a lift gate delivery. I would recommend that kind of delivery because it is delivered in a wood crate.

Google the Generac site, click on Residential, click on Home Backup, scroll down the left side to "Find your manual", and enter 5818. When I tried it this time, it said it couldn't be downloaded, but I downloaded the manual before I got the generator and I believe I downloaded the manual from this site. A phone number for customer service is on that page.

It should be on the out side of the box. Each manufacuter has a differnt UPC.

They ship these by independent cargo carriers. The carrier will set up a delivery time with you and will unload it to your garage, back yard etc. Can't remember but there may be a small additional charge for this as opposed to just "curbside" delivery. The shipper will not unpack it.

Looking at both, I'd say that feature-wise it's a tie. The Generac transfer switch is $30 less. That said, I installed two of the Reliant transfer switches (at two houses) six years ago: quality was good; installation was simple; and 2 hurricanes, 1 freak snowstorm and 1 microburst later I am still very happy with it (and the Reliant outdoor power inlet boxes I put in at the same time). Recommended.

I suggest going to the Generac website. If your answer isn't there for certain, give them a call.

Yes, I am bought this on Amazon and I am very happy with its performance. I think it is a good buy. The delivery company was very good about keeping in contact about delivery, but when the truck arrived, the worker refused to bring it into the house. So you might want to print out the statement about the deliveryman being required to bring it into the room where you want it, and removing packing materials.

I was told that these units need a lot of exhaust. I live in a much milder climate and just leave my door open but I did have a couple of vents low and one in the roof and the guy told me it wasn't really enough. On the other hand, Generac had extremely horrible service. I would not buy this unit or any other from them. Kohler makes a good unit that does the same thing now and I hear has replacement parts that don't take over a month to get. I bought this thing new and it took Generac and a lot of coaxing from Amazon to get it fixed. It took from end of Nov to April for this thing to work properly! Generac was horrible!!!

Call or email the company for this. I have a Generac 20K house generator on natural gas.

It was lift gate delivery for me. They got it on the ground on my dolly and off I went.

Unmarked box. My 1000 watt plainly said what it was though. Delivery guy knew exactly what it was.

I had it delivered to my work where we have a forklift. That being said, two guys can handle it just fine... so if your delivery driver is willing to help lift it out you'll be set! Once on the ground you can open the box, mount the tires and roll to your garage!

Everything you need is in the box. A socket set makes it quicker but not needed. Take it out of the box and haul it that way to your condo. It's simple
