WAUKESHA, Wis., Oct. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Generac Power
Systems, Inc., (NYSE: GNRC) a leading global designer and
manufacturer of energy technology solutions and other power
products, today announced the introduction of the new Guardian®
26kW Home Standby Generator – the most powerful air-cooled home
standby generator available. The Guardian 26kW generator provides
26 kilowatts of peak power, while taking up less space and offering
thousands of dollars of savings on purchase and installation
compared to competitive home standby generators.
Until now, larger homes were required to install liquid-cooled
generators to meet their power needs. The air-cooled Guardian 26kW
generates unmatched power, as it delivers at least 28% more
starting power than competing large, air-cooled products, meaning
it can power up higher peak loads where other products may fail.
The Guardian 26kW does all this while taking up 68% less space than
liquid-cooled home standby generators that were previously required
to provide similar peak output. With 2.6 times more power than
Generac's baseline air-cooled unit, the Guardian 26kW has
unparalleled capacity to power large homes in times of power
loss.
"The Guardian 26kW home standby generator possesses the
innovative, state-of-the-art technology Generac is known for, while
being affordable to acquire and install," said Aaron Jagdfeld, president and chief executive
officer of Generac. "The latest addition to our Guardian line
continues our mission to make backup power more accessible for
everyone as we continue to move towards a future that is not solely
reliant on the grid."
"The Guardian 26kW can save homeowners as much as $8,000 on purchase and install compared to
similar output liquid-cooled generators," said Kyle Raabe, executive vice president and
president of Generac's Consumer Power business group. "That's
because the Guardian 26kW is lighter, smaller, and easier to
install, all while boasting Generac's proven air-cooled engine
technology. As the leader in backup power, we're proud to be able
to offer this innovative, cost-saving option to consumers."
Additionally, the Guardian 26kW is Smart Grid Ready, allowing
customers to quickly and seamlessly connect to grid programs and
offset their energy costs. Under normal circumstances, the Guardian
26kW functions as a traditional home standby generator and powers
the home in the event of an outage. But at times of peak demand,
owners can choose to allow the utility to use the generator as a
virtual power plant, reducing strain on the electrical grid and
offsetting a portion the homeowner's monthly energy expenses.
The Guardian 26kW is available through Generac-authorized
dealers, wholesale and retail partners. For more information, visit
