This package pairs a 10kW liquid propane \/ 9kW natural gas standby generator with a 100 amp, 16-circuit automatic transfer switch, making it a practical option for selected essential-circuit backup applications. It includes standard WiFi connectivity with Mobile Link remote monitoring, True Power electrical technology with less than 5% total harmonic distortion, and an Evolution multilingual LCD controller. The generator uses a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure and operates on natural gas or liquid propane for flexible residential fuel setup. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEssential-Circuit Backup with Included Transfer Switch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Generac 7172 package includes a 100 amp, 16-circuit automatic transfer switch for selected essential-circuit backup.
