See How Guardian Air Cooled Generators are installed.

 1) Lift gate delivery of an air cooled generator to the driveway.
All e-commerce pricing include this power lift gate delivery service (give the driver a donut and he might even put it in your garage!)

2) Typical 12-circuit Transfer Switch installation.

3) Installation of the new generation air cooled generator. What an improvement! Guardian has really hit a home run with this new style. This is the 17kw aluminum spaced 5' from structure. 

4) Protecting the entire family is important!

5) Natural gas installation of a Guardian Generator using 1-1/4" iron piping as
recommended by Guardian Installation Guidelines.

6) How NOT to install a generator!

This picture was taken by Home Power Systems at a recently installed site by a local
competitor. The unit was completely removed and handed back to the
contractor after HPS performed an installation compliance report.

Up to 12 deficiencies were documented including:

Undersized gas piping, installation under a deck, grossly undersized electrical cable
from the generator to the transfer switch to name a few.

This is not JUST about PRICE...it is about doing it RIGHT the FIRST time!

7) Underground gas & electric piping to generator. This option is available in lieu of installing gas and electric raceways above ground. A nice clean looking install.

 8) A top view of the new model generator. Notice it is 5' from structure and all exposed gas pipe is painted. A typical professional install by Home Power Systems.

9) A 20kw model #5506 installed in a commercial location. Installation on a 6"x6" pressure treated timber base is one installation method available.

10) Home Power Systems stocks all air cooled generators in our distribution facility in Victor and    E. Syracuse, New York.

11) Home Power Systems is an authorized Guardian / Generac Premier Service Dealer. We can service and repair your generator in our facility.

12) This is how HPS loads and off loads our generators. We have developed (patent pending) a Monorail Transport System (MTS) that is electric powered. No damage to your generator and safe working conditions for our technicians. Smart Business. 

13) John Carr of the WHAM radio, Home Repair Clinic. Another satisfied HPS customer
(#612 to be exact)

14) Another patent pending device HPS has developed to move air cooled generators on customer sites. No lifting, no dragging, no hurt backs or damaged product. Walk the generator right to the pad. HPS air-cooled generator lift cart.

15) When HPS installs a generator in a mulch area, a 6"x6" pressure treated timber base is used to keep the generator away from the damp ground and it looks great! 

16) A typical gas and electric install 5' from structure. This has now become the standard install distance for all Home Power Systems installations. Thank you NFPA 37!

17) Another view of gas and electric raceways installed underground. This offers a clean looking installation option now that all generators must be 5' from structure!

18) Typical gas installation before utility meter upgrade. Notice that this is 1-1/4" black iron pipe. A standard installation practice for Home Power Systems.

19) Another clean air cooled installation. This is a typical install using a manufacture recommended pea gravel base. Most people like the new style.

20) Most 14kw and above generator installations require a gas meter upgrade. The meter on the right is a typical 250k btu meter. The gas meter on the left is an upgraded 750k btu meter.

21) Jim Salmon - host of the WHAM radio home repair clinic. Another long term satisfied customer. His 15kw whole house power plant ran without issues during the October 2006 Buffalo ice storm. Ask Jim about reliability! 

22) This 20kw was installed on a very steep grade to provide backup power at a Doctors office. Not a typical installation but clean, neat, straight. Workmanship lives everyday at HPS.

23) A close up of a 20kw air-cooled Guardian generator installation. I like the look of the trim skirt you can purchase to hide the black plastic base of the generator.

24) All electric meters must have this label attached "WARNING GENERATOR ON SITE". Again, HPS taking the lead with following all required codes.

25) Notice not only a happy customer but a level generator. I love these QuietSources.

26) Sometimes the customers want us to install our air cooled generators on patios or concrete. When we do, we always install on a 6"x6" pressure treated timber base so we can contour the bottom of the wood to match the slope of the concrete....level generator!

27) I think your getting the idea. Yes, we are 5' from the gas meter in the background.

28) One of our customers did some really nice landscaping around his generator. Notice that even on a steep grade, our generator remains level. The 6"x6" timber base installed provides a solid foundation for these type of installs.

29) I had to take this picture. A train set like no other. Everbody has different reasons for installing their own power plant. All Aboooaaard!!

30) So you think you have sump pump problems! Take a look at this picture. Two submersible pumps and three additional secondary pumps outside. This is all required to keep his basement from flooding. Do you think he needs a standby generator?

31) HPS tries to install your standby power plant next to an existing mechanical device like an A/C unit or pool filter. This is an architectural pleasing placement of the generator.

32) A close up of a HPS generator installed 5' from building structure. Notice a ground support required for the natural gas line.

We hope you enjoyed this "see it installed" page. As you can see, we take generator installations very seriously and feel confident, as you look for an installation dealer or wanting to purchase on-line, that Home Power Systems is the company for you.
