The 22 kW Guardian® Series home standby generator is the largest air-cooled home standby generator on the market. Not only does it deliver all the features and functionality customers have come to expect from the market-leading brand of home standby generators, but with an MSRP that is the lowest cost per kilowatt of any air-cooled home standby generator. Prepackaged with Generac’s Service Rated Transfer Switch this model offers whole house coverage for many homes. Generac Service Rated Transfer Switch includes Smart AC Module standard, which gives the capability of managing up to four HVAC loads with no additional hardware. Additional loads can be managed using a smart management system. The system can accommodate up to eight individual Smart Management Modules (SMM).* Transfer switch includes a pair of auxiliary contacts, but all other load management occurs outside of the switch via the SMMs. The SMM modules are self-contained and have individual built-in controllers. *SMM modules sold seperately. Lowest Cost Per Kilowatt Homeowners can invest in a home standby air-cooled generator size that used to only be available in much more expensive, liquid-cooled models, giving them the lowest cost per kilowatt available.
