Generac 7291 Guardian 26kW Standby Generator Wi-Fi with 200A SE Transfer Switch
The Generac 7291 26kW Guardian Series Generator is an industry-leading standby power solution that offers unmatched reliability, quiet operation, and advanced monitoring capabilities. With seamless power transfer, smart connectivity, and durable construction, it is an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a dependable, high-performance backup power system.
The Generac 7291 26kW Guardian Series Generator is a powerful, whole-home backup solution designed to keep your household running smoothly during power outages. With a robust Generac G-Force 1000 Series engine, this generator is purpose-built for reliability, offering 26,000 watts of power on liquid propane (LP) and 22,500 watts on natural gas (NG). Whether facing severe weather or grid failures, this generator provides seamless and automatic power transfer, ensuring that your essential appliances, HVAC systems, and electronics remain operational.
Designed with True Power™ Electrical Technology, the Generac 7291 delivers clean and stable electricity with less than 5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), making it safe for sensitive electronics, home automation systems, and variable-speed HVAC units. The solid-state voltage regulation system ensures fast response to changing loads, maximizing motor-starting capabilities and maintaining consistent voltage at ±1% regulation. An electronic governor further enhances efficiency and power stability.
The included 200A service-rated automatic transfer switch (ATS) ensures a seamless transition to backup power the moment an outage is detected. Featuring a NEMA 3R enclosure, the transfer switch is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation. The system also incorporates integrated load management technology, allowing homeowners to prioritize critical appliances and prevent overloading. Additionally, it is compatible with Smart Management Modules (SMMs), which enable optimized power distribution across larger electrical loads.
This model is Wi-Fi-enabled, featuring Mobile Link® remote monitoring, which allows homeowners to check generator status, receive maintenance alerts, and track performance from anywhere using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. The intuitive Evolution™ Controller includes a multilingual LCD display, providing a clear readout of system status, event history, and maintenance logs. The unit also supports programmable exercise cycles, which help maintain the generator by running periodic self-tests, reducing wear while conserving fuel.
Built to withstand extreme weather conditions, the generator is housed in a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure with a sound-attenuated design, ensuring quiet operation at 67 dB(A) under load and 57 dB(A) in Quiet-Test™ mode. The enclosure is engineered to withstand winds up to 150 mph, making it a reliable option for hurricane-prone regions. Its compact footprint allows installation as close as 18 inches from a structure, adhering to safety regulations.
This generator offers dual-fuel flexibility, operating on either natural gas or liquid propane. The efficient engine design incorporates Spiny-Lok cast iron cylinder walls, reducing oil consumption and enhancing longevity. With a full-pressure lubrication system, the engine operates smoothly, requiring maintenance only every 2 years or 200 hours.
Safety features are a priority, with automatic low-oil pressure shutdown, high-temperature shutdown, and overload protection. Additionally, a main line circuit breaker (110A) prevents damage due to electrical surges.
