Installed by pros, with 200 amp automatic transfer switch. Does everything Generac says it will do, exactly they way they say. Starts itself every other Saturday at noon to recharge the starter battery, circulate the oil, warm up to disperse condensation. Runs about 12 minutes or so. Fired up every time we lost power, maybe a half dozen short periods that first year. But then, Hurricane Michael. No power for 6 days. The Generac 7042 ran flawlessly for six days straight. I had to take it offline at the 100 hour mark to change the oil and filters. Brought it back online, and it fired itself up again and kept running until power was restored. Completely pleased with our Generac 7042 Guardian 22kw standby generator. Review: Generac FAILURE - Please read and do not buy from Generac. - I own a Generac Stand-By generator. I paid over $4500 for the unit in 2017. To date (11.2019) the unit has 650 hours. The unit has faulted multiple times and been complete down a total of 47 days, until a dealer could order parts, have them delivered and then come out and repair the unit. The unit failed once costing $3500 in parts (luckily under warranty) and recently a 2nd time costing over the units total value! We have waited for over a month for the dealer parts and service tech to get out there to repair it. It's been a horrible Generac experience. I have invested countless hours on the phone with Generac robot humans telling me they cannot do anything. ## Features - Reliable Power: True Power Technology delivers best-in-class power quality with less than 5% total harmonic distortion, ensuring smooth operation of sensitive electronics and appliances - Automatic Transfer Switch: Automatic transfer switch sold separately, allowing you to choose the best option for your power needs - User-Friendly Control: Generac Evolution Controller features LED indicators for generator status, utility power presence, and maintenance alerts - Durable Enclosure: Tough all-weather aluminum enclosure with 3 removable sides for easy access during installation, service, and maintenance - Battery Requirement: Battery not included.

Any of these settings would work for the generator. Some customers wish to conserve on fuel, so they prefer the bi-weekly or monthly setting. It is a preference, none of these options would harm the unit. If the exercise time is not adjusted; it will be set at the default which is once weekly at 2pm every Wednesday. I hope this information is helpful. please contact us if you need any further assistance. **Q: what is the cabinet made of?** A: Cabinet is aluminum **Q: I have a 400 amp service to my home and the generator will need to run on propane gas. What generator do you recommend?** A: Hello,My name is Anna and I will be assisting you today. Unfortunately, we do not size generators direct from the factory. There are too many variables for us to size and recommend the automatic home standby generator and automatic transfer switch necessary for your needs and application. We do recommend working directly with an authorized independent servicing provider in your area for assistance with the purchase or pairing of a transfer switch to your backup generator as those technicians are both trained to work on Generac products, and are familiar with your state and local electrical codes. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and have provided you with a link that you can use to pull up and review contact information for these local authorized independent servicing providers in your area below. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any other questions or concerns.http://www.generac.com/dealer-locator?category=1 **Q: Estimated price for install and generator?** A: A good estimate for a complete install is $12k. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Reliability *by J***. on June 2, 2020* Bought the Generac 7042 in summer 2017.
