Generac 7042 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Generac 7042 Guardian generator run sensitive electronics like computers and smart appliances?
Yes. The 7042 Guardian uses Generac's True Power Technology, which holds total harmonic distortion under 5 percent. That is clean enough for sensitive electronics, variable-speed HVAC, and modern appliance boards. If you are backing up a home office or medical equipment, THD is the number that matters more than raw wattage.
2) Can the Generac 7042 sit outdoors year round in a coastal or snowy climate?
It is built for permanent outdoor installation. The enclosure is corrosion-resistant aluminum with a RhinoCoat powder-coated finish, which is what carries it through salt air, road spray, and freeze-thaw without rusting out the panels. No shed or shelter is required.
3) Do I have to pay a subscription for remote monitoring on the Generac 7042?
Mobile Link remote monitoring comes free with the 7042 Guardian. From a phone, tablet, or PC you can see current operating status and maintenance alerts from anywhere, and you can link the account to an authorized service dealer so they see fault conditions too. For a property manager running generators at several addresses, that is the feature that replaces site visits.
4) Does the Generac 7042 come with a transfer switch, or do I order that separately?
The 7042 is the generator itself. A whole-house standby installation also needs an automatic transfer switch sized to your service, the gas supply run, and a pad or base. Order the transfer switch alongside the unit so the electrician has everything on site the day of the install.
5) Is the Generac 7042 Guardian big enough to back up a whole house?
At 22kW it is the top of the Guardian air-cooled residential range and is normally specified as a whole-house unit on a typical single-family service, rather than an essential-circuits-only machine. The actual answer depends on your service size and connected load, so have the electrician run a load calculation against the 22kW rating before picking the transfer switch.
6) Is the Generac 7042 rated 22kW on propane or natural gas?
The 7042 is the 22kW Guardian model. Standby generators of this type are dual fuel and produce a slightly different output on natural gas than on LP, so pull the 7042 spec sheet linked from the product information for the exact per-fuel ratings before you size the gas line and the transfer switch.
7) Will the weekly exercise cycle on a Generac 7042 bother the neighbors?
The 7042 runs Quiet-Test self-test mode, which drops the engine to a lower RPM for a five or twelve minute exercise run instead of full speed. It is noticeably quieter than a full-RPM exercise cycle and burns less fuel doing it. In tight lot lines or an HOA, that is usually the deciding detail.
8) What engine is in the Generac 7042 and how much maintenance does it need?
It uses Generac's G-Force engine, purpose-built for generator duty and pressure-lubricated rather than splash-lubricated. Pressure lubrication is what lets it hold up under long outage runtimes, and Generac states it needs less routine maintenance than competitive engines. The Evolution controller tracks the maintenance intervals for you on its LCD display and also reports battery status, which is the part that most often strands an unattended unit.
