Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Generac 18 kW Home Standby Generator delivers automatic, whole-house protection when the power goes out. Built to handle demanding loads with a robust G‑Force engine, this unit keeps essential circuits energized, so you stay connected, safe, and comfortable without manual intervention.

Power and performance that you can trust

  • 18 kW running power and starting watts of 18,000 ensure the ability to support critical appliances and essential circuits during an outage.
  • Fuel flexibility—rated for LP (18000 LP) and NG (17000 NG) continuous power, giving you options based on fuel availability and cost.
  • G‑Force engine with 817 cc displacement combines reliable performance with quick response to changing loads.
  • Bluetooth connectivity for convenient remote monitoring and status updates from compatible devices.

Smart safety features for peace of mind

  • CO shutdown protects your family from harmful emissions in case of elevated levels.
  • Low oil shutdown helps prevent engine damage by automatically pausing operation when oil is low.

What makes this generator stand out

  • 5-year limited parts and labor warranty demonstrates long-term reliability and support for your investment.
  • Weather‑resistant gray enclosure designed for outdoor installation and durable, year‑round performance.
  • Model 7259 places this unit within Generac’s trusted lineup, engineered for continuous standby operation and rapid restoration of power after outages.

Ideal use cases and installation considerations

  • Homeowners who want automatic protection for essential loads—refrigeration, sump pump, HVAC, lights, and outlets—without manual startup.
  • Homes equipped with a field-installed Automatic Transfer Switch to enable seamless start-up and transfer during outages (installation required by a licensed professional).
  • Residential settings where fuel flexibility is valuable—opt for LP when natural gas isn't available or vice versa, keeping critical systems powered during emergencies.

Technical snapshot: 120V output capability, volts 120, key safety features (CO shutdown, low oil shutdown), and robust engineering designed to deliver dependable standby power when you need it most. With a discreet gray finish and Generac’s engineering pedigree, this 18 kW home standby generator is built to keep your home running smoothly through power interruptions.
