Big Generator Protection… Half the Price (Steel Enclosure)
More power, more features and an exceptional price make the GUARDIAN QuietSource™
16 kW the best value in automatic standby generators. With GUARDIAN’s new breakthrough technology, the 16 kW provides the circuit protection of a much larger generator at a truly
remarkable price. If you need to run more than one air conditioner, the GUARDIAN
QuietSource 16 kW is the affordable solution. With 33% more circuit coverage than
our 13 kW, this powerhouse can start a 5-ton AND a 3-ton, or two 4-ton air
conditioners with plenty of power to spare.

Whisper Quiet Operation GUARDIAN’s exclusive patent-pending Whisper-Test™ low
speed exercise feature makes the GUARDIAN QuietSource 16 kW the quietest air-cooled
generator on the market. Whisper-Test reduces noise to less than 59 dBA during the weekly automatic self-test. That’s quieter than your central air conditioner.

With our pre-packaged, 16-circuit pre-wired system, installation is fast, easy and
inexpensive, making the 16 kW an even better value.

Breakthrough Design: Newly designed alternator can start a 5-ton AND a 3-ton, or two 4-ton* air conditioners with plenty of power to spare		Longest Life Expectancy in the Industry: Over 3,000 hours of run time
Circuit Coverage: Protects 16 circuits of your home		Full Pressure Lubrication: Continuous lubrication of all vital engine parts for protection from moment of start up for ultimate engine protection
Automatic Voltage Regulator: Quality electrical output for sensitive electronics		Spin-on Oil Filter: Automotive style for easy maintenance and prolonged engine life
Electronic Governor: Fast response to changing electrical loads		Superior Paint: Tough, textured powder coat paint finish for unmatched durability and all weather protection
Whisper-Test™: Patent-pending, self-test feature makes the GUARDIAN QuietSource quieter than your central air conditioner		UL Listed: For safety and certified power ratings
Generac OHVI® Industrial Engine: The ONLY air-cooled engine designed specifically for generators		Clean Burning Fuel: Natural gas or LPV
