See the video on how Briggs & Stratton EmPower generators can protect your family.


The generator sits along the side of your house, providing you with continuous power during outages.
With advanced electronics features, this EmPower generator will detect a utility power outage and automatically start the generator whether you are home or away. Because it runs on clean burning natural gas or liquid propane, you won't have to worry about the long lines at the gas station during emergencies. An AC power control module lets you run up to a four-ton central air system in addition to other essential items while protecting against overload.

Whether you are home or away, this generator will keep you up and running smoothly during a power outage. A special cold weather feature keeps the generator heated up when the temperature drops, ensuring smooth starting and efficient engine operation, no matter what the conditions are outside. To assure that your system is running at optimal performance at all times, the generator includes diagnostic alerts with low oil shutdown, engine overspeed, low voltage, low battery voltage, high oil temperature, and transfer switch fault features. A computer-friendly internal voltage regulator will keep your sensitive electronic equipment, such as computers and video devices, safe from surges. And with its rugged design features, you'll never have to worry about your outdoor weather conditions. The generator features exclusive Sound Shield Technology to keep operational noise to a minimum. The system's outdoor enclosure features engineered air passages, an automotive-style exhaust system and acoustic foam dampeners, as well as professional rust proofing and premium Storm gray automotive paint for maximum durability and all-weather protection.

For added convenience, a maintenance kit is included, which includes a special UL air filter, pre-cleaner, spark plugs, oil filter, and synthetic oil. This space saving generator measures 48-by-33-by-30.5 inches (LxWxH), weighs 442.5 pounds and is backed by a 4-year warranty. Note that this generator does not include a transfer switch.

Summary: Kit and Kaboodle 2007-01-14
Comment: The hurricane that reached DC resulted in cobbling together a transfer switch and generator. It's a blessing to have everything arrive in two packages. This model would back-up a typical home. For a grand and a half more, the 15,000 watt (15 kVA) model could hypothetically allow the owner to tell the power company to take a hike. But it's rude and unwise to burn bridges.

$1,300 buys a premium transfer switch.

For a grand and a half less, the 7 kVA model with manual transfer would suffice to provide emergency power to the typical home. It requires load shedding which means to select a few circuits to stay "hot".

The other reviewers have impressed this electrician with their know-how and explanations. Dang-nabbit, there goes the job. Where's that resume?

The only way to improve this unit would be to offer an alternative to use fuel oil. Many people have fuel oil delivered to their homes but lack service from a gas utility.

Just having the 100 amp or a 200 amp transfer switch on the home should increase its value. The new owners can buy their own generator. Amazon keeps erasing the link to the switch, but typing "transfer switch 200" without the quotes brings the right product up in a search. Clicking on "other products by..." works but of course limits the selection.
