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. | At the heart of this generator is Briggs & Stratton's exclusive IntelliGEN High Efficiency Power Management System that ensures that you'll retain the same "creature comforts" during a power outage that normally require larger and more expensive generators. With patented computer-controlled technology, the system makes the 20kW EmPower generator one of the most efficient standby generators in its class. 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 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 two five-ton central air conditioners 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. The Briggs & Stratton OHV engine that powers the generator is designed to provide extra torque that helps the generator deliver higher wattage power so you have stand-by power exactly when you need it.

Briggs and Stratton 20kw Empower August 4, 2007
R. Lawson (MI USA)
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
In early april I decided on a 20Kw Briggs and Stratton empower with the 200 amp auto transfer switch (ACCM) after being promised by several dealers that the 15kw or 16kw units would start my 5 ton air conditioner. Needless to say this was not the case. My 20kw NG unit will start my 5 ton air, two (2) 220 volt appliances and the rest of my home (approx 3100 sf). I am happy with my decision to date though I haven't had to put it to use yet. Test mode runs as advertised on a weekly basis. No complaints from the neighbors about the noise. Note, I had to upgrade my gas meter to a larger size to accomodate the generator. Something you need to look at when installing a generator this size.
