| Electric Generators Direct Recommendation |
| By Electric Generators Direct |
The Guardian 8 kW Emergency Power System is the smallest home standby generator offered by Generac Power Systems.
It starts automatically -- just the like the bigger versions -- and protects mission critical appliances from power failure.
Here's the major difference. The 8 kilowatt version can restore power to 8 mission-critical circuits, including a sump pump, refrigerator, furnace fans, lights and more.
The 17 kW version can restore power to 16 circuits, including a central air conditioner. The 8 kW version simply lacks the strength to turn over a central air conditioner.
If you can live without air conditioning during a power outage, it's a whole lot better than manually setting up and starting a portable generator.
Plus, it runs automatically even if your home or not. |

| Completely Satisfied Customer |
| By Roy Philbrick (Westford, MA) |
We purchased & installed a Guardian model 5501 for a customer.
Installation was easy- it took aproximately three hours to wire, and two hours to gas pipe in.
Our customer was completely satisfied. The generator started right up and handled the load- no problem. |
