Evidence notes before you compare
- The product page mislabels one 3.71 gal/hr row as NG at 50% load. That ambiguous row is not used; the separate exact-configuration specification sheet supplies the full-load LP value used here.
THE BUYER DECISION
Could Generac G0072600 work for your home?
Documented output: 22 kW LP / 21 kW natural gas. The final choice depends on actual loads, starting demand and your chosen fuel.
Transfer equipment: Do not assume the price includes a compatible ATS. Require the exact switch and accessories on the proposal.
Do not buy yet if: the local installer cannot verify load fit, fuel delivery, commissioning, current warranty and service coverage for the exact model.
Not a recommendation to purchase or a tested field-reliability assessment. Missing manufacturer data remains unknown.

What stands out about this 22 kW Generac record
- The cited record separates output by fuel: 22 kW on LP and 21 kW on natural gas, so the fuel choice changes the published standby rating.
- It shares the same published enclosure dimensions and G-Force 1000 engine family as the cited 26 kW G0073270, but the two records have different output, weight, fuel-use points, and starting MSRP.
- The exact G0072600 product page does not establish an included transfer switch. A dealer bundle should identify the switch separately in writing.
Fuel-use data: keep load and units attached
The current source registry contains the following manufacturer-published test points. These are not a household fuel forecast; actual consumption changes with electrical load, fuel conditions, setup and runtime.
| Fuel | Load | Published consumption |
|---|---|---|
| Natural gas | 50% | 221 ft³/hr |
| Natural gas | 100% | 311 ft³/hr |
| LP | 50% | 2.45 gal/hr |
| LP | 100% | 3.71 gal/hr |
Sound data: mode and measurement conditions matter
- 67 dB(A) — normal load, at 23 ft; measured from the front; other sides may be higher.
- 55 dB(A) — Quiet-Test low-speed exercise, at 23 ft; measured from the front; other sides may be higher.
Manufacturer values are not an independent head-to-head acoustic test. Installation geometry, reflective surfaces, load and operating mode can change what a listener experiences.
Price, transfer-equipment scope and warranty
Starting price: $6,309 USD
Published equipment/package starting MSRP; installation, taxes and local project scope are not included by this record.
Transfer equipment: Included transfer equipment is not established by the captured exact-model page. Require the complete generator and ATS package in writing.
Warranty summary: Product page states a 5-year limited warranty. Full contract, hour limits, labor, travel and exclusions require confirmation.
Load management: Specification lists optional G007000-1 (50 A) and G007006-1 (100 A) Load Managers. Module selection and control compatibility require installer confirmation.
Monitoring: Built-in cellular Mobile Link; product page notes that some alerts/functions require a premium subscription.
Cold-weather accessories: Listed accessories: G007211-0 battery heater and G007102-1 oil heater when temperatures regularly fall below 32°F; G007103-2 breather heater below 0°F. Confirm applicability to the purchased serial number.
Warranty hour limit: Only established where expressly included in the cited summary above; otherwise unknown.
A product-page MSRP is not an installed-project price. Site work, ATS/service equipment, fuel work, electrical work, permits, load management, accessories, commissioning and local labor can materially change the total.
