Home Standby Gas Generator, 10kVA / 13kVA / 20kVA, Automatic Backup Power
Generac Guardian 10 / 13 / 20 kVA Gas Standby Generator
A fully automatic home standby generator that detects a utility power outage and takes over hands-off, with no need to be home or lift a finger. Built on Generac's G-Force engine, it delivers True Power Technology for clean, utility-quality output, and Mobile Link remote monitoring so you can check on it from your phone. Runs on natural gas or LP, and is available in 10kVA, 13kVA or 20kVA to suit the size of the job.

Automatic, Hands-Off Protection
The Guardian Series is designed for automatic, hands-off operation. It constantly monitors utility voltage and, the moment power is lost, starts itself and transfers your home or property onto generator power. When the grid comes back, it automatically transfers back and shuts itself down, cooling down first for around a minute before stopping.
True Power Technology, Utility-Quality Output
A skewed stator and displaced phase excitation combine with solid-state, frequency compensated voltage regulation to hold output steady at ±1%. True Power Technology keeps Total Harmonic Distortion under 5%, so sensitive electronics and micro-chip based appliances, including variable speed HVAC systems, run with confidence.
Monitor It From Anywhere With Mobile Link
Mobile Link remote monitoring is included, letting you check operating status and maintenance alerts from a smartphone, tablet or PC, from anywhere in the world. A programmable seven day exerciser runs the unit for 5 minutes every other week to keep oil seals conditioned between outages, and a smart battery charger keeps the starter battery topped up and ready.
Choose Your Size
The 10kVA and 13kVA are single phase, 220V models built around Generac's G-Force engine range. The 20kVA steps up to a three phase, 380/400/416V model for larger properties needing more continuous capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 10kVA, 13kVA and 20kVA models?
The 10kVA and 13kVA are single phase, 220V models, differing mainly in continuous power capacity, main breaker size and weight. The 20kVA is a three phase, 380/400/416V model built for larger properties, with a higher rated power on LP gas and a 32 amp main breaker sized for three phase supply.
Does it run on natural gas or LP gas?
Both. All three sizes are rated for natural gas or LP gas operation, with slightly different maximum continuous power capacity depending on which fuel is connected.
Does it start automatically during a power outage?
Yes. In Auto mode, the generator constantly monitors utility voltage and starts automatically when power is lost, transferring your load across without you needing to be home.
What warranty is included?
A 5 year limited warranty is included on all three sizes, backed by Generac's dealer network for parts and service.
Do you offer a price match guarantee?
Yes. Found it cheaper elsewhere? Let us know and we will do our best to beat it.
