 Good Investment

I purchased my 16K generator in January 2004. After installation, the first time I shut the electric off and ran it , it ran 20 minutes and stopped and wouldn't restart. I called a service tech and it was a bad piston. Within 2 weeks I was sent a new generator and it was installed under warranty and I've had no trouble since. In the 4 12 years I've had it, it has come on when my electric went off and has run a total of about 10 hours in that time frame. It runs once a week automatically. I have piece of mind all year. I will purchase another one if I ever build a new house.

 Rust Proof

This is the exact same home standby system as the other Guardian 16 kW system -- with one major exception.

If you live near the coast, the salty air can corrode the enclosure in several years. You'll definitely appreciate the aluminum enclosure.

If you live away from the coast, the steel enclosure will work just fine. Save the money and get the cheaper ve... more

 Guardian 16 kW Emergency Power System w/ Aluminum Enclosure Review

Purchased in Jan '07 and installed in April by local electrical contractor (not a Guardian dealer) with no difficulty. I had them wire 15 circuits and left one as a spare. With everything in the house turned on including 3-ton A/C, air handler, frig and freezer, boiler, deep well pump, it takes on the load like a champ. The only "downer" I found was that my computer APC Smart-UPS backup system complains and remains on battery power when recieving current from the generator.

Overall I'm very pleased. I receive several power outages per year on average and can't wait... more
