16-kW Air-Cooled Standby Generator
More power, more features and an exceptional price make the GUARDIAN QuietSource™ 16 kW the best value in automatic standby generators. With GUARDIAN’s new breakthrough technology, the 16 kW provides the circuit protection of a much larger generator at a truly remarkable price. If you need to run more than one air conditioner, the GUARDIAN QuietSource™ 16 kW is the affordable solution. With 33% more circuit coverage than our 13 kW, this powerhouse can start a 5-ton AND a 3-ton, or two 4-ton air conditioners with plenty of power to spare.
Whisper Quiet Operation
GUARDIAN’s exclusive patent-pending Whisper-Test™ low speed exercise feature makes the GUARDIAN QuietSource™ 16 kW the quietest air-cooled generator on the market. Whisper-Test reduces noise to less than 59 dBA during the weekly automatic self-test. That’s quieter than your central air conditioner.
With our pre-packaged, 16-circuit pre-wired system, installation is fast, easy and inexpensive, making the 16 kW an even better value.
Corrosion -Resistant Aluminum Exterior
If you live near the coast or in an area with a lot of snow, you know how destructive salt and moisture can be. Now you can protect your standby power investment with GUARDIAN’s new 16 kW aluminum model. Our all aluminum enclosure provides corrosion-resistance that is far superior to anything else on the market.
