13-kW Air-Cooled Standby Generator

13-kW Generac GUARDIAN Stand-by Generator

No other manufacturer offers a comparably sized automatic standby generator that even comes close to providing 13 kilowatts of power on both natural gas and LPV. Equipped with the Generac 992cc OHVI® industrial engine and an improved alternator design, our 13 kW model is truly in a class by itself.

Our 13 kW can start a 4-ton air conditioner (the most common size) with plenty of power left over for a host of key circuits. With the 13 kW you have all of the coverage you get with our 10 kW model, plus the power to back up an additional bedroom and office. And the 13 kW pre-packaged system comes with a pre-wired, 12-circuit load center that is fast and easy to install. 

  • Breakthrough Design: Newly designed alternator can start a 3-ton* air conditioner with plenty of power to spare
  • Circuit Coverage: Protects 12 circuits of your home
  • Automatic Voltage Regulator: Quality electrical output for sensitive electronics
  • Electronic Governor: Fast response to changing electrical loads
  • Generac OHVI® Industrial Engine: The ONLY air-cooled engine designed specifically for generators
    • Longest Life Expectancy in the Industry: Over 3,000 hours of run time
    • Full Pressure Lubrication: Continuous lubrication of all vital engine parts for protection from moment of start up for ultimate engine protection
    • Spin-on Oil Filter: Automotive style for easy maintenance and prolonged engine life
  • Superior Paint: Tough, textured powder coat paint finish for unmatched durability and all weather protection
  • UL Listed: For safety and certified power ratings
  • Clean Burning Fuel: Natural gas or LPV
