Generac Guardian 10kW Air-Cooled Home Standby Generator

Product Overview

The Generac Guardian 10kW Home Standby Generator (Model 7171) is an stationary backup power system engineered to protect residential properties during electrical grid failures. Operating on either liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG), this emergency power plant monitors incoming utility lines continuously. Upon sensing a power drop, the generator initiates an electronic start sequence automatically within seconds, delivering up to 10,000 watts of continuous power directly to a home's electrical distribution panel.

The unit is powered by a purpose-built 460cc Generac G-Force 400 Series engine. This specialized overhead valve (OHV) power plant is engineered specifically to handle the thermal demands of extended generator runtime cycles, requiring lower overall maintenance than standard adapted utility engines. The entire system is housed in a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure with a Bisque powder-coat finish, allowing it to withstand extreme outdoor weather conditions while maintaining a quiet acoustic profile during operation.

Key Features & Benefits
