Unsure of your home's amp service? Check these locations in your home:

Electrical Panel

• Locate the panel on a wall near your furnace or water heater, or where utility power enters your home.
• Inspect your electrical panel for label that indicates its amperage rating.

Main Breaker

• Find your main breaker — it's the largest breaker in your electrical panel. 
• Look for the capacity written on it or adjacent to it.

Power Management 

Make your backup power go further with a power management system. It prioritizes power for what you really need, reduces fuel costs and allows you to use a smaller-size generator to power your home. 

With a Briggs & Stratton generator, you have two power management systems to choose from:

Duel Low Voltage Module:

• Compatible with the Amplify transfer switch bundle; controls any two thermostatically-controlled appliances (like two AC units). 
• Can be installed inside your home and does not require any additional wiring. 

High Voltage Module:

• Compatible with Amplify transfer switch bundle; allows for flexible placement and simple installation. 

Low Voltage Module

• Manages the power flowing to your home’s high-wattage appliances 
• Can be installed inside of your home and does not require any additional wiring.
• Backed by a three-year limited warranty1.

50 Amp Module

• Manages generator output with any 120- or 240-volt home appliances, like your stove, oven and electric heat. 
• Can be installed inside of your home and does not require any additional wiring.
• Backed by a three-year limited warranty1.

Low Voltage Dual Module

• Controls any two thermostatically-controlled appliances, like two AC units.
• Can be installed inside of your home and does not require any additional wiring.
• Backed by a three-year limited warranty1.

Generator Monitoring Systems 

Finally, there’s no need to run outside to check on your home generator when a storm is looming. Briggs & Stratton monitoring systems are popular generator accessories that make it more convenient than ever to stay on top of your generator’s current status without ever leaving the comfort of your living room.

Generator Maintenance Kits 

Keep your Briggs & Stratton home generator running at peak performance and ready when it's needed.

*Contact a Briggs & Stratton Dealer to find a maintenance kit for your standby generator.
