Standby Generator Set
Briggs & Stratton® Home Standby
7000W rated, 10500W surge on LP
Runs on two gas grill tanks for 12 hours!
Need backup Power NOW but can't install an automatic standby generator? This dual-mode generator is the unit for you!
This generator is similar to the automatic standby model but is shipped with a receptacle panel pre-installed plus a propane quick connect kit. Just purchase two 20 lbs propane gas grill tanks, connect the hoses, start the unit and you have power! Since it is not permanently installed or wired you normally will not require a permit or an electrician. Later you can provide natural gas or piped propane.
The 40248 Home Generator System provides protection from power outages. Electrical power is restored in minutes with the push of a button. Assembled in the USA. Vanguard engine is made in JAPAN.
Super powerful
7,000 watt system provides enough power to run essential items in your home, for
minimal disruption to everyday activities.
