The Generac 10kW Home Backup Generator (Model 7172) provides automatic standby power for residential applications, delivering reliable backup electricity during utility outages. The system operates on liquid propane or natural gas and includes a 100-Amp 16-Space 24-Circuit Automatic Transfer Switch.
The Generac 7172 features TruePower Technology for clean, stable power with less than 5% total harmonic distortion, along with a 460cc G-Force 400 Series engine. Its Quiet-Test mode runs the generator at a lower engine speed during scheduled self-tests to help reduce noise and fuel consumption.
