It's good to see this response instead of the all to often "not our fault" excuse. Any chance they will pay for your time? Shipping?

Chris,

Generac has stated that the Eco Gen will be replaced.  Thank you for your help, and for the help of Frank Moreno who you notified of the issue.  

Best regards,

Drake

> 1) The activation issue sounds like a misunderstanding. Activation is only a data gathering process, I normally do it online ( https://www.activategen.com/ ). There is no reason why you could not do it on behalf of the customer.

However, if this is what happened, Generac is very good about warranty repair and would be very responsive. I would call the nearest Generac dealer and let them file a warranty claim. It does not matter that the generator was not purchased from the dealer, all dealers are required to handle warranty for any generator as they get paid to repair the units.
> Generac will advise the dealer how to proceed. You seem to indicate Generac did not want to replace the unit but I also get the feeling no tech has looked at the unit yet. You have to follow the process. Generac will determine the best course of action once they know the details.
