(Need MORE power? Click Here.)

GUARDIAN® home standby generators automatically supply electricity to pre-selected circuits during a utility power outage. Our pre-packaged, pre-wired systems make installation fast, easy and so affordable, you’ll wonder why you didn’t buy one sooner! And with GUARDIAN, the kilowatt ratings we list… are the kilowatt ratings you get. Unlike our competitors who only cover a percentage of the standby loads, GUARDIAN covers the entire load, for the full duration of the power outage. That’s why GUARDIAN is the #1 selling home standby generator on the market.  Choose between: 7 kW  10 kW  13 kW Click to Compare Models

The automatic transfer switch in pre-packaged,
air-cooled systems allows you to match the systems 
load center circuits to the amperage in your home’s
main distribution panel.  (Figure at right).
Simply determine which circuits to protect during 
an outage and choose a generator whose transfer
switch's load center offers that number of circuits.
The 7kW model offers 8 circuits of protection, the
10kW offers 10 circuits, the 13kW has 12 circuits
and the 16kW generator protects 16 circuits. All
you do is match a 15 Amp circuit in the transfer
switch load center to a 15 Amp in the main 
distribution panel. A 20 Amp to a 20 Amp and so on.
There is no need to add up wattages, since you’ll never
use all appliances on every circuit at the same time.

The completely automatic Guardian transfer switch monitors incoming voltage from the utility line - around the clock.   When utility power is interrupted, the automatic transfer switch immediately senses the problem and signals the generator to start. The automatic transfer switch then safely closes off the utility line and simultaneously opens a new power line from the generator.  Within seconds, your Guardian generator system begins supplying electricity to the critical emergency circuits of your home or business. The transfer switch continues to monitor the utility line conditions.  When the automatic transfer switch senses the utility line voltage has returned at a steady state, it re-transfers the electrical load back to the utility line and resumes monitoring for subsequent utility loss. The generator will continue to run for an engine cool-down period of several minutes while the entire system stands ready for the next power outage.

For whole-house protection

GUARDIAN offers air-cooled  and liquid cooled
models ranging from 16 - 45kW (single phase) 
and the commercial models ranging from
 20-150kW (single and three phase voltages.) 
Match these generators with an appropriate size 
transfer switch.  Find appropriate Transfer Switch sizes.
To get accurate sizing requirements of a liquid-cooled 
generator, a licensed electrician will need to apply an amp 
meter to the circuits and appliances that are intended 
to operate on backup power. Many customers want
every item in their home or business covered
in the event of an outage. 

Guardian Plus Pre-Packaged Specifications

Continuous Standby Power Rating Includes a 
2 Year Limited Warranty

OPTIONAL LOAD SHEDDING

To save on costs, you can offer your customer a smaller generator coupled with the PowerMasterTM load management system. The new priority load control system makes whole-house coverage more affordable and power hungry items a priority. Your air conditioning will start as the electricity from non-essential items is diverted. This means you can buy a smaller, less expensive generator and still run everything in your home or business. The PowerMaster can control two major loads up to 30 Amps at 240 volts each.

A Word on the Standby Power Systems Market:  

Power outages are becoming more frequent and are lasting longer.  There are two major reasons for this trend.  First, severe weather patterns such as thunderstorms, hurricanes, flood and ice storms have increased dramatically over the past few years and are expected to continue at current or even greater levels for the foreseeable future.

In addition, the demand for electricity is increasing at an unprecedented rate and power companies are not able to replace aging transmission networks and build new plants fast enough to keep pace with the growing need.
