Evolution controller – The dual line multilingual LCD display allows for easy monitoring of history and maintenance logs as well as the management of generator functions.
Third Party Fire Testing – The Southwest Research Institute, one of the oldest and largest independent applied research and development organizations, has independently certified, listed and labeled the Guardian Series generators as meeting National Fire Protection Association requirements for installation within 18" of a home's exterior wall.
Operation at Low Natural Gas Fuel Pressure
The Guardian Series is the only home standby generator that can operate on natural gas fuel pressure as low as 3½" of water column. This makes it ideal for use in municipalities with low natural gas pressure.
Tool Less Fuel Conversion
Switching between natural gas and LP fuel on the Guardian Series requires no tools, and can be done in mere seconds.
New Load Management and Transfer Switches
The smarter transfer switches feature improved load management for easier, more cost effective installation. A new 300A service entrance rated switch is available, with smart switches available up to 800A.
Re-engineered Connection Points
To minimize installation time, costs, and errors while accomodating current and future electrical code interpretations, Generac re-engineered many wiring connection points within the generators and related smart transfer switches. We also modified the enclosures to make it easier to connect wiring and fuel supplies.
Mobile Link
Mobile Link is the affordable new cellular remote monitoring system that gives customers peace of mind, by allowing them to know the status of their generator anywhere, anytime, using their computer, tablet or smartphone.
When the generator experiences a change in status, Mobile Link sends the update to StandbyStatus.com, which proactively forwards that information via website, email or text message – automatically.
RELIABLE. AFFORDABLE. EASY.
Mobile Link's cellular based technology offers significant advantages over existing alternatives:
- Lowest cost of any cellular monitoring solution;
- Cellular technology provides broad nationwide coverage without complicated set up or maintenance;
- Installs in less than 15 minutes and remarkably easy to use.

Premium Features
Premium features are standard for the ultimate standby generator. Thanks to its low speed engine, it's so quiet you will forget you even own a generator until you need it.
Low-speed, automotive-style, liquid-cooled engine runs at only 1800 rpm during a power outage for a substantially quieter generator, greater fuel efficiency, and longer engine and alternator life.
Super quiet, super efficient, Trademarked Quiet-Test mode for a weekly test mode that's quieter than other brands, consumes less fuel and helps make your Generac generator the most environmentally friendly on the market.
Standard aluminum, all weather enclosure provides the ultimate protection from the elements. Aluminum's natural corrosion resistance prolongs the life of your generator and is recommended for salt air, coastal locations.
Generac Versus the Competitors
Generac launched the very first automatic home standby generator back in 1959 and over fifty years later they continue to lead the industry. They are always increasing their product line, continue to invest money into research and development, and are working towards creating better technology.
There's really no nice way to say it – Generac products are better than their competitors. You've probably seen the other brands out there, some of them big players. But there are no shortcuts to success. Generac designs their engines right here in the good ole United States of America. Most competitors engines are made to cut grass and are sourced from overseas. That may be the right approach for some companies, but not for us.
