| Revolutionizing
the Commercial and Home Standby Power Generator Market GUARDIAN® has long been known as America’s #1 choice in home standby generators. Now, we’re fast becoming recognized as the company that revolutionized the commercial market. That’s because we’ve eliminated the noise, fuel and installation concerns that traditionally made commercial standby power too costly. GUARDIAN Elite™ generators are reliable and value-oriented. So much so, they often pay for themselves during the first extended outage. Single and Three Phase available in selected Generators. See below for information.

Features
and Benefits
Automotive
Engine
GUARDIAN Elite™ generators use modified automotive engines that
can easily be serviced using readily available, cost-effective parts. These engines
are produced in high volume allowing to pass along the cost savings to our customers.
Whisper-Test™
Reduces noise to a whisper
by lowering engine speed during the generator’s weekly self-test. The Whisper-Test
sound level is comparable to a car at idle and is 50% quieter than the competition.
Superior Paint
New textured, powder coat
paint process provides consistent coverage and better bonding to seams and exposed
edges. This ensures greater durability and a longer lasting finish.
Aluminum
Enclosure
GUARDIAN Elite generators are available in a corrosion-resistant
aluminum enclosure to better withstand the elements. This option is especially
important for businesses in southern and coastal communities.
Automatic
Exerciser
An automatic seven (7) day test of your system allows you
to verify that your generator is in peak operating condition at all times.
Automatic Transfer Switch
The automatic
transfer switch automatically switches the source of power from utility to the
generator within seconds of a power outage. Because it’s automatic, you never
have to flip a switch.
Convenient Fuel Supply
GUARDIAN Elite generators operate on natural gas or LP gas service. This
provides you with unlimited run time during extended utility power failures.
Maintenance Friendly
GUARDIAN Elite generators
feature large, removable doors. This provides easy and quick access for servicing
and maintenance.
Automatic Safety Shutdowns
Automatic safety shutdowns protect the engine and generator in the event
of low oil pressure, high temperature, overspeed and/or overcrank.
Protective
Enclosure
The enclosure protects your generator from harmful weather
and includes key locks for security. Sound-absorbing panels also reduce exterior
noise levels.
Battery Charger
A built-in
battery charger ensures that the battery remains at an optimum performance level.
UL-Listed
For your safety, GUARDIAN standby
generators are UL 2200 listed and all transfer switches are UL 1008 listed. This
validates safety and kilowatt ratings.
EPA and
CARB Emission Requirements
Generators up to 25kW must comply with EPA
and CARB emissions requirements. All GUARDIAN generators up to 25 kW meet these
requirements.
Made in USA ![]()
Manufactured by Generac Power Systems, we design and build our complete
product from the controls to the enclosures. This ensures that all GUARDIAN Elite
products are built to our highest standards.
