The Briggs & Stratton 40685 emergency standby generator continues to supply power to your air conditioner, furnace, kitchen appliances, computer, lights and fans within seconds of a power failure. During a storm or other outage, your family can continue with the day as usual. The automatic transfer switch allows you to power all the circuits of the house. After a storm, it takes several hours-- and sometimes many days-- for grid power to be restored. This 10kW dual fuel generator can run for extended hours on LPG or the natural gas from your kitchen natural gas line. The ATS allows homeowners to choose to back up selected circuits rather than the whole house. The transfer switch comes ready with an integrated load center for picking up the emergency circuits.
