Generac 7225 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Generac 7225 14kW standby generator come with a transfer switch, or do I buy that separately?
A whole house automatic transfer switch is included with the Generac 7225 Guardian 14kW package, so you are not sourcing the switch separately. Installation itself is not included, and installation parts (pad, fuel line, conduit, wire) are sold separately.
2) How much output does the 7225 Guardian give me on natural gas versus propane?
14,000 watts either way. Rated power is 14000 W on LP and 14000 W on NG, so there is no derate when you run it on natural gas. Output is 120/240 volts with a current rating of 54.2 A.
3) What size concrete pad or clear space do I need for a Generac 7225?
The unit measures 48 in deep by 25 in wide by 29 in high, so plan the pad footprint around 48 x 25 inches plus whatever clearance your local code and the manufacturer's install manual require on the sides and above. Shipping weight is 446 lbs with the unit itself at 385 lbs, so expect a two-person or equipment set.
4) Will a 14kW Generac Guardian run a whole house, or just a few circuits?
It ships as a whole house configuration with the automatic transfer switch included, so it is set up to carry the full panel rather than a handful of essential circuits. Whether 14,000 watts actually covers everything depends on your connected load, mainly central air tonnage, electric range, electric water heater and well pump. Size against your 240 V loads first; the unit is rated 54.2 A at 120/240 V.
5) Is the Generac 7225 Guardian UL listed for permanent installation?
The 7225 is UL Listed, ETL Listed and CSA Certified, which is what an AHJ or inspector will look for on a permanently installed residential standby set. It is built in the USA using domestic and foreign parts.
6) Is the Generac 7225 enclosure going to hold up outdoors near the coast?
The enclosure is all-aluminum with a RhinoCoat powder-coated finish, which is the corrosion-resistant build Generac specs for year-round outdoor exposure. Frame material is aluminum and the finish color is bisque.
7) Is the Generac 7225 safe for computers, AV gear and variable-speed HVAC?
Yes. True Power technology holds total harmonic distortion under 5 percent, which is the threshold that matters for sensitive electronics, inverter-driven HVAC and modern appliance boards.
8) Can I monitor the 7225 remotely, and will the weekly self-test bother the neighbors?
The 7225 is WiFi-enabled and works with Generac's Mobile Link app for remote monitoring. The Evolution controller has a multilingual LCD showing battery status and maintenance intervals. Quiet-Test self-test runs the exercise cycle at reduced RPM for five or twelve minutes, so the weekly run is quieter and burns less fuel than a full-speed test.
9) I'm a property manager buying several of these. Does the Generac 7225 price include install?
No. Home standby delivery does not include installation, and required installation parts are sold separately. Budget for a licensed electrician and gas fitter per unit, plus the pad and fuel supply work. Generac asks that you schedule a consultation before purchase.
10) What engine is in the Generac 7225 and how big is it?
It uses Generac's own G-Force engine, a purpose-built, pressure-lubricated design at 816 cc displacement. Pressure lubrication is the difference between a splash-lubricated small engine and one meant to run for long outage hours.
11) What is the Generac part number for the 14kW Guardian with the whole house switch?
Order it as Generac model 7225. That number covers the 14kW Guardian air-cooled standby set with the whole house automatic transfer switch and WiFi.
12) Is there a Prop 65 warning on the Generac 7225?
Yes, as with any engine-driven equipment. Operating and servicing it can expose you to engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead. Keep the exhaust away from windows and intakes, do not idle unnecessarily, service in a ventilated area and wash up afterward.
