Generac Power Systems 7178 Details and Specifications

Generac 16kW Generator with Transfer Switch

The Generac 16kW Whole House Generator with 200-Amp Whole House Automatic Transfer Switch and standard Wi-Fi Mobile Link remote monitoring runs automatically to supply your home with backup power during an outage. The number 1 selling brand in America, seven out of ten homeowners choose Generac Guardian over all other home standby generator brands.

The 200-Amp Service Rated Automatic Transfer Switch selects utility power during normal operation and generator power during an outage. It connects to the main circuit breaker panel to distribute generator power to your entire home. The Generac 16kW Generator with Power management controls multiple air conditioners and other high current loads like water heaters, ranges, and dryers. A weatherproof NEMA 3R enclosure installs indoors or outdoors.

Generac 16kW Whole House Generator

TruePower Technology ensures best-in-class electric generator power. The Generac 16kW Generator delivers smooth, clean power without harmful noise and less than 5 percent Total Harmonic Distortion. Worry free power for electronics, lights, televisions, and small or large appliances like central air conditioners, pumps, refrigerators, and freezers.

A Generac 816cc purpose-built G-Force 800 Series V-Twin Engine powers the Generac 7178. Fully pressurized lubrication contributes to a long life and less maintenance (2-year, 200-hour oil change interval) than competing engines for reliable, trouble-free operation.

The Generac Guardian design includes Quiet-Test self-test mode. During the 5 to 12-minute self-test, the engine runs at a lower RPM which reduces noise, uses less fuel, and reduces wear and tear on the engine. Quiet-Test significantly reduces noise on the Generac 16kW Whole House Generator making it quieter than most competing brands.

A smart, user-friendly Evolution Controller features a multilingual LCD display. Monitor battery status or track maintenance intervals to keep the standby generator in top operating condition and ready for the next power outage.

A tough, durable RhinoCoat powder-coat finish adds to the corrosion resistance of the all-aluminum cabinet, suitable for the most extreme weather conditions.

    great product, terrible company

    Posted by Thomas W. on 5th Jan 2021

    Ordered this generator September 19th. Charged my card in November. Called to find out why it wasn't here with no web updates in January. They claimed they had an address exception on my card. They kept the generator and the money. They said they got my work's voicemail and didn't leave a message because the only two options were the secretary's. No cell calls, no emails, no refunds, no generator, no web updates, and a 1 hour hold to speak to somebody. Use somebody that cares for their customers, I'm ordering two elsewhere today.

    Norwall and Generac great Investment

    Posted by Brady on 22nd Nov 2020

    We ordered this generator just after the Iowa Derecho from August 10th 2020. After being without power for 8 days, this seemed to just make sense and I was more than willing to spend the money. I placed the order while others from Iowa did as well as hurricane victims on the East coast, so Norwall was very overwhelmed. The generator came after about 8 weeks just like they warned me it would due to the high demand. Prior to the generator coming, my battery warmer, oil filter warmer, pad and trim kit arrived so I could being to prepare the install location. I did the install myself with help from a friend who handled the electrical portion; I did the pad, gas and installed the warmers prior to. Install was a breeze and was pretty straightforward, it helps to have someone with you that has done one in the past. The price of this generator from Norwall was the best priced package from any other company that I could find on the internet and they order and carry a large amount of these, I believe they are one of the largest distributors in the US for Generac. Everything came in undamaged and working, no issues at all, packaged very well. The (2) $50 Home Depot gift cards took over 12 weeks to arrive, go figure! I would strongly recommend one of these to anyone looking to wire in a whole home generator system at their home or business. The one I got was the Generac 16kW Generator with 200-Amp Whole House Automatic Transfer Switch | 7178. The pad, warmers and trim kit were ordered seperate.
