Briggs & Stratton Generators
Without the proper precautions, weather emergencies can leave your home vulnerable to losing power. It takes only one bad storm to leave you with no running water, heating, food storage and more. Thankfully, Briggs & Stratton generators are designed to combat this by providing your home with an effective backup power source. What's more, they have features to make losing electricity less stressful. Most units come with an automatic transfer switch so the unit will turn on by itself when it senses the electricity is out. Thanks to InfoHub™, you can feel more secure about the safety of your home when you're at work or on vacation. This feature allows you to remotely monitor the status of your home generator from your computer and smart device. It also sends you notifications if something is wrong, and will automatically contact your service provider if the emergency requires immediate attention. Having these hands-free options to protect your home is essential because unknowingly going without electricity for too long can be catastrophic. Flooding may occur because your sump pump did not start, and food will spoil without a working fridge or freezer.
Different Sizes, Same Great Functionality
Different models of Briggs & Stratton generators vary in what they offer, allowing you to shop for your unique home electricity and budgetary needs. They come in two sizes: the 12kW models are designed for smaller and mid-size homes while the 20kW versions are for larger properties. That said, the size of your home is not the only factor that affects energy consumption, you have to consider all the electricity you use, like appliances, devices, etc. One feature that varies by unit is the transfer switch. Not every model has one, but most do and they range from 100-200 amps. At the heart of all the units Abt offers is the Symphony® II Power Management System. This automatically takes care of the energy output across all channels, preventing overloading and making for smooth use of all your electrical needs. Briggs & Stratton fortifies the exterior of its generators with galvanneal steel to defend against rust and corrosion to stand up to the elements. All units share a similar visual design with dark gray coloring and the protruding cap top, but the 12kW units are a little taller, while the 20kW ones are bigger and wider.
