Authorized Generac/Guardian Generator Distributor


Guardian Elite 25 — 45 kW Standby Generators

Just because your home requires more power doesn't mean you have to pay a whole lot more. Generac Power Systems has taken all of the leading-edge technologies from their industrial product line and applied them to their GUARDIAN Elite liquid-cooled products. Models range from 25-45 kW and cost thousands of dollars less than competitors' units. They also feature automotive style, liquid-cooled engines and our exclusive Whisper-Test feature. You won't find more affordable products with this kind of power.

Industrial Power
Industrial grade automotive engines provide unmatched power and long life. If an engine is designed for an over-the-road truck to run hundreds of thousands of miles, just think how long a generator that never leaves your home will last!

Whisper Quiet Operation
GUARDIAN's exclusive Whisper-Test low speed exercise feature makes their GUARDIAN Elite systems the quietest liquid-cooled generators on the market. Whisper-Test reduces noise by 50% during the generator's weekly automatic self-test cycle allowing for near silent operation that satisfies all known sound ordinances.

  • Liquid-Cooled Engine: Produces more electricity for greater needs


  • Whisper-Test: Exclusive, self-test feature makes the GUARDIAN Elite quieter than a central air conditioner


  • Superior Paint: Tough, textured powder coat paint finish for unmatched durability and all weather protection


  • UL Listed: For safety and certified power ratings


  • Clean Burning Fuel:Natural gas or LPV
