Generac builds air-cooled home standby generators in a range of sizes, from units that cover essentials to ones that can run most of a large home. Many current Guardian models include built-in Wi-Fi so you can check status on the Mobile Link app.
After long JCP&L outages like Tropical Storm Isaias, many Marlboro families added a Generac. That means many units in town are now several years old and due for regular maintenance, battery replacement and occasional repairs.
Choosing a Generac
Picking the Right Generac Guardian for Your Home
Generac makes many sizes. The right one depends on what you want running during an outage.

| Essentials | Fridge, sump pump, furnace fan, lights, Wi-Fi | Smaller Guardian with a transfer switch covering selected circuits |
| Most of the home | Plus kitchen, laundry and one AC unit | Mid-size Guardian with a whole-house transfer switch |
| Whole home | Nearly everything, including multiple AC units | Larger Guardian with Smart Management Modules to balance big loads |
The full process, permits and placement rules are covered on our whole house generator installation page.
