Briggs & Stratton PowerProtect 26 kW Dual Fuel (Liquid Propane / Natural Gas) Home Standby Generator Dual 200A / Split 400A Symphony® II SED Power Management Transfer Switch Included

Among the latest additions to Briggs & Stratton’s lineup, the PP26 home standby generator is part of the acclaimed PowerProtect series — engineered for dependable whole-home backup power. Thanks to advanced Symphony® II power-management technology, it automatically balances high-demand loads while keeping fuel consumption in check.

With 26,000 running watts on liquid propane and 24,000 running watts on natural gas, the PP26 can start multiple 5-ton A/C units, keep every major appliance operating during a blackout, or safeguard mission-critical systems for small businesses. Dual-fuel capability lets you switch between liquid propane and natural gas, delivering continuous runtime for as long as the fuel supply lasts.

Power for every essential

With a 65.5 kVA motor-starting capability, the PP26 handles central air conditioners, well pumps, refrigerators, electric ranges, and large power tools without voltage drop or breaker trips. Its electronic governor maintains ±1% frequency for appliance-safe power.

Fuel-efficient performance & continuous runtime

The precision-tuned Vanguard® V-Twin engine optimizes fuel flow, using only 206 ft³/hr of natural gas or 2.60 gal /hr of propane at half load. Connected to your home’s NG line or a bulk LP tank, the PP26 delivers uninterrupted power through the longest utility outages.

Whisper-quiet operation

At just 65 dB(A) measured seven meters away, the generator won’t disturb neighbors or outdoor gatherings. A low-idle exercise mode drops sound even further to 63 dB(A) for its weekly 16-second test run.

Clean, stable power for electronics

An electronic voltage regulator and rugged alternator keep Total Harmonic Distortion below 5%, protecting sensitive devices like computers, gaming consoles, and home-automation hubs from voltage spikes.

Durability & safety you can trust

A rust-proof aluminum enclosure, cast-iron-sleeved engine cylinders, and sealed alternator bearings withstand harsh weather. Built-in safeguards — low-oil, high-temperature, and overspeed shutdowns — add peace of mind.

Intuitive controls & remote monitoring

The integrated GC-1032 controller features an LED display for voltage, frequency, and engine hours. Optional InfoHub™ connectivity (Wi-Fi or cellular) lets you check load, maintenance reminders, and fault codes from anywhere.
