Generac 7043 – 22kW Guardian Generator w/ Wi-Fi & 200A SE Transfer Switch (Scratch & Dent)
The Generac 7043 22kW Guardian Series Standby Generator delivers reliable, whole-home backup power with the performance and engineering that has made the Guardian lineup the #1 choice for residential standby protection. As a Scratch & Dent unit, it offers homeowners a substantial discount without sacrificing functionality, output, or warranty, making it one of the best-value large-capacity solutions on the market today. With 22,000 watts on LP and 19,500 watts on natural gas, this model is capable of powering HVAC systems, well pumps, kitchen appliances, home electronics, freezers, and more — all at once.
Driven by Generac’s G-Force 1000 Series engine, the 7043 is built specifically for generator applications, providing long-term durability and stable, efficient performance. The engine’s plateau-honed cylinder walls, plasma-moly rings, and Spiny-Lok cast-iron sleeves significantly reduce wear while running at full load. With True Power™ Technology, this generator produces clean, utility-quality electricity with less than 5% THD, ensuring that sensitive electronics and variable-speed appliances operate safely. Solid-state, frequency-compensated voltage regulation maintains a tight ±1% output range, giving the 7043 excellent motor-starting capability for heavy loads.
This model comes bundled with a 200A Service-Rated Automatic Transfer Switch, engineered to seamlessly transition your home’s electrical load during a utility outage. Integrated load management allows it to control multiple large appliances without overloading the generator. Standard Wi-Fi connectivity enables homeowners to monitor generator status, maintenance intervals, and operating history via Generac’s Mobile Link® app — offering complete peace of mind and remote visibility from any smart device. The rugged aluminum enclosure is sound-attenuated and weather-resistant, capable of withstanding winds up to 150 mph, and is approved for placement just 18 inches from a structure, offering outstanding installation flexibility.
With its proven reliability, whole-home capacity, quiet operation, and rich feature set, the Generac 7043 remains one of the most popular standby generators in the industry. As a Scratch & Dent model, it delivers exceptional savings while maintaining full Generac performance — making it an ideal investment for homeowners who refuse to compromise on power security.
