Generac 7260 Air-cooled Standby Generator 22kw 21kw

Product Description

The GENERAC 7260 is a next-generation air-cooled standby generator designed for automatic backup power in residential applications. It features Electronic Fuel and Ignition Control (EFIC), a system that manages fuel delivery and spark timing to maximize output efficiency and reduce emissions compared to previous-generation carbureted designs. The advanced onboard controller handles system monitoring and diagnostics, while integrated cellular connectivity keeps the unit reachable for remote status checks. Licensed electricians and generator technicians are the primary installers for this class of equipment.

This generator is suited for whole-home or large partial-home standby applications where utility power interruptions require automatic, unattended startup. The unit produces 22 kilowatts on LP gas and 21 kilowatts on natural gas, making it one of the higher-output options in the residential air-cooled class. It is intended for permanent installation on a concrete pad adjacent to the structure it serves, connected to a utility-supplied natural gas or LP fuel line and an automatic transfer switch.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician and, where required, a licensed gas fitter, in accordance with NEC Article 702, NFPA 37, and applicable local codes. Shut off all fuel supply lines and disconnect utility power before servicing any electrical connections. The unit requires a dedicated concrete mounting pad and must be positioned to meet manufacturer and local code clearance requirements from windows, doors, and gas meters. Do not operate or start the generator in an enclosed space or indoors.
