Briggs & Stratton has made engines for generations. Its PowerProtect line of air-cooled home standby generators was refreshed in 2023 with NGMax technology, designed to get more power out of natural gas.
Many PowerProtect systems are paired with Symphony power management. It lets the system prioritize the loads that matter most, so a right-sized generator can still cover a busy household.

PowerProtect Features That Matter in an Outage
A few features make a real difference when the grid goes down for days.
Motor starting power
Higher starting power helps the generator handle AC compressors and well pumps kicking on.
Symphony load management
Chooses which appliances get power first, so essentials never drop out.
Short weekly self-test
A brief weekly exercise keeps the engine ready with less noise and fuel use.

Sizing
Which PowerProtect Size Fits a Marlboro Home?
Bigger isn't always better. The right size matches how you live during an outage.
| Model size | Typical fit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 13 kW | Smaller homes or essential circuits | Compact footprint, good where yard space is tight |
| 18 kW | Mid-size homes, most daily needs | Often paired with Symphony to manage AC |
| 22 kW | Larger homes with central air | Strong motor starting power for compressors |
| 26 kW | Large homes with several big loads | Biggest air-cooled option in the line |
Natural gas or propane?
Most Marlboro neighborhoods have natural gas, which never needs refilling. Homes without gas service can run on propane from an on-site tank. We confirm your gas meter can supply the generator at full load.
Placement
Generators need clearance from windows, doors and vents, and local rules may limit where they can sit on your lot. We plan the spot before anything is ordered.
