Generac Guardian

America's most popular generator

Marson Energy provides sales and service for the popular Guardian line of generators by Generac Power Systems. Guardian makes the most widely used line of automatic natural gas or propane backup generators for home or business, and two gasoline-fueled portable models.

These pages reflect the 2008 Guardian product line up as of April 2008. Generac has completely redesigned their Air-Cooled generators for 2008, featuring more power and a new, more attractive enclosure. Guardian models operate on natural gas with low pressure of only 5-7 inches of water column. This allows you to use low pressure gas already entering your home without the added expense and delay of a supply pressure increase.

Marson Energy can ship or install any of these Guardian products to your home or business:

All Generac Guardian automatic home standby generators require natural gas pressure of 5-7 inches of water or LP vapor pressure of 11-14 inches of water column.
