Plan for Backup Power
Standby generators are a seamless option for backup power before, during and after a storm. They are permanently installed outside the home and are fueled by propane or natural gas. Since they require professional installation, it’s best to consider adding a standby unit in advance of the upcoming storm season.
Briggs & Stratton offers a complete line of PowerProtect standby generators that range in size to meet a variety of homeowner needs. The Briggs & Stratton 10kW and 12kW models are the smallest footprint standby generators on the market (over 30% smaller footprint than competitors in their named class) and work well for mid-sized homes. The 26kW unit is the industry’s most powerful and can power a whole house through an outage. The full line of Briggs & Stratton standby generators are equipped with the industry's most comprehensive warranty.
“Unfortunately, every year hurricanes and tropical storms have a significant effect on the United States,” adds Feng. “Taking steps now to get a standby generator installed will ensure your lights stay on and your family is protected when the outages from these storms start rolling in.”
In addition to standby generators, Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions provides residential battery storage that can capture energy generated by solar panels, wind turbines, generators or the grid. Homeowners can tap into the stored energy for backup power in case of a power outage, brownout or for time-of-use (TOU) cost savings, peak shaving, net energy metering (NEM) or off-grid living. Battery storage systems have the added benefits of silent operation, no need for gaseous fuel and can be installed where there is limited space. And this year, they can also qualify for income tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
