Generac 7172 10kW Aluminum Standby Generator System

Generac 7172 - 10kW Aluminum Standby Generator System

The Generac 7172 is a 10/9 kW Air-Cooled Standby Generator designed to provide reliable, automatic backup power for essential circuits in a home. It is powered by the durable 460cc Generac G-Force Engine and delivers clean electricity via True Power Technology. The primary difference from the 7171 model is its steel enclosure, which provides excellent durability at a potentially lower cost, though it is heavier and requires more attention in highly corrosive environments (like coastal areas). The unit still includes the valuable Mobile Link Wi-Fi for remote status checking.
