We've had a Generac in Meredith since we bought the place in 2012. Has worked fine when it's had to. We have a Briggs & Stratton in Bedford...also has been very reliable. Have also heard great things about Kohler units. We use Powers out of Swanzey, (near Keene), for maintenance for both units.
You will get varying opinions on this, but my view is find someone who will be one-stop shopping for you. Can pull the necessary permits, line up the gas guy, electrician, etc. The other key item is finding someone who can properly size what unit you will need...they will come out to the house, ask you what your needs are, what you want covered when the generator kicks on, etc. From that data, they do a calculation that determines what KW size unit you need. Powers does this as part of their sales/install process. Other companies will do that as well, you just need to make sure it's part of the process.
Good luck and happy shopping!
