The Generac 7172 should be professionally installed and properly sized based on the home’s selected backup loads, transfer switch configuration, and local code requirements.
The Generac 7172 package includes a 100 amp, 16-circuit automatic transfer switch for selected essential-circuit backup. This configuration is designed to support designated circuits during an outage rather than making unsupported whole-home coverage claims, helping homeowners plan backup power around priority loads and proper sizing.
This standby generator operates on liquid propane or natural gas, giving homeowners fuel flexibility based on property setup and available utilities. Because output varies by fuel type, the liquid propane and natural gas ratings are separated in the specifications table for clearer comparison and sizing discussions.
Standard WiFi connectivity supports Mobile Link remote monitoring, allowing owners to check generator status and maintenance alerts from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. The Evolution controller provides a multilingual LCD interface for operating status, maintenance interval visibility, and easier system monitoring.
The generator uses a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure intended for outdoor standby installation. Combined with Generac’s G-Force engine platform, True Power electrical technology, and included automatic transfer equipment, the 7172 is built as a defined residential backup package for selected essential circuits.
