Generac 7290 – 26kW Guardian Generator with Wi-Fi (Scratch & Dent)
The Generac 7290 Guardian 26kW Standby Generator delivers one of the highest outputs available in an air-cooled home backup generator, giving homeowners whole-house protection with the confidence of Generac’s proven G-Force engineering. This Scratch & Dent model provides the same performance, power quality, and factory specifications as a brand-new unit — but at a significantly lower price. With 26,000 watts on LP and 22,500 watts on natural gas, this generator handles HVAC systems, well pumps, appliances, lighting, and sensitive electronics effortlessly during any outage.
The 26kW Guardian is powered by the Generac G-Force 1000 Series engine, a purpose-built design engineered for extended loads, long runtimes, and high-temperature performance. Paired with True Power™ Technology, it produces clean, stable electricity with <5% THD, ensuring safe operation for modern electronics like smart appliances, HVAC control boards, and home automation systems. Solid-state voltage regulation keeps output within a tight ±1% range, delivering strong motor-starting capability for demanding loads.
This model also includes standard Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing homeowners to monitor status, maintenance intervals, and run history from anywhere through Generac’s free Mobile Link® system. The generator automatically starts within seconds of utility loss, and with its sound-attenuated enclosure, it runs quietly at just 57 dB in exercise mode — one of the quietest in its class. Installation flexibility is built-in, allowing placement as close as 18 inches from a structure for tighter lot lines or side-yard installs.
With its rugged aluminum enclosure, integrated safety systems, and a 5-year limited warranty, the Generac 7290 provides premium whole-home standby performance at a reduced Scratch & Dent price point — making it one of the best values in the Guardian lineup.
