Generac 7282 Standby Generator 28 Kw 120/240 Volt

Product Description

The GENERAC 7282 is an air-cooled standby generator rated at 28 KW and 120/240 volts AC, designed for automatic backup power in residential and light commercial applications. When utility power fails, this unit starts and transfers load automatically, supplying whole-home or small-commercial power without manual intervention. Integrated WiFi connectivity allows remote monitoring and diagnostics through a compatible mobile application. Licensed electricians and generator installation contractors are the primary installers for this class of equipment. The air-cooled engine design keeps the footprint compact relative to liquid-cooled alternatives at similar output levels.

The 7282 is suited for residential properties with higher power demands and light commercial facilities that require reliable standby power. Typical installations pair this generator with an automatic transfer switch sized to the service entrance. Applications include whole-house backup for larger homes, small office buildings, retail spaces, and other facilities where a 28 KW output covers essential and non-essential circuits simultaneously. WiFi monitoring makes it practical for property managers and service contractors who need remote visibility into generator status and run-time data.
