how to check the engine oil level
A1 SolarStore
To check oil on your Briggs & Stratton 13kW dual fuel, ensure it's level, find the dipstick (yellow cap), wipe it clean, then reinsert without screwing in (for a non-screw type) or screw in fully (for a screw type), pull it out again, and check the level between the "Full" and "Add" marks, adding oil slowly if low. Always check before starting, and let the engine cool first for accuracy.

is the enclosure aluminum or steel
A1 SolarStore
It’s rust-proof powder-coated aluminum on a galvanneal steel base — lightweight yet built for coastal climates.

how loud is the generator?
A1 SolarStore
About 65 dB (A) at normal load — roughly the hum of a central A/C condenser — thanks to its insulated aluminum enclosure.

How big a house will this 13kW run
A1 SolarStore
In most cases it will cover an average-size U.S. home’s essential loads — lights, fridge, gas furnace, well pump, plus a 3-ton A/C — when wired with a proper load-management switch.

About product

Strengthen your home’s resilience with the Briggs & Stratton PowerProtect™ PP13 13 kW dual-fuel home standby generator. Permanently installed outdoors, it starts automatically within seconds of a utility outage and keeps critical circuits — and your peace of mind — online.

  • 13 kW (propane) / 11.5 kW (natural gas) continuous output for whole-house backup
  • 120/240 V single-phase power — handles modern HVAC systems, well pumps and major appliances
  • Dual-fuel flexibility: connect to your natural-gas line or a liquid-propane tank; NG consumption as low as 65 ft³ per hour at no load
  • Vanguard® 627 cc V-Twin engine — commercial-grade, full-pressure-lubricated and built for 24/7 reliability
  • <5 % THD from a MeccAlte synchronous alternator — clean, safe power for sensitive electronics
  • 65 dB(A) low-idle / 69 dB(A) normal — quieter than most central-AC units
  • Rugged aluminum enclosure resists rust, withstands 186 mph winds and needs only 18 in of clearance
  • InfoHub™ cellular monitoring-ready — check status and receive alerts from your phone (accessory)
  • Industry-leading 7-year limited warranty covers parts, labor and travel

Automatic whole-house protection

Paired with a compatible transfer switch, the PP13 senses utility loss and restores power in under 30 seconds. Weekly 16-second self-test runs keep the engine and electronics ready without wasting fuel.

Dual-fuel economy

Switch effortlessly between natural gas and propane — no jets to change. Propane delivers the full 13 kW rating, while natural gas offers virtually unlimited runtime for extended outages.

Neighborhood-friendly noise levels

An oversized muffler, sound-dampened enclosure and low-idle mode keep operating noise at a modest 65–69 dB(A), comparable to a normal conversation.

Utility-grade, electronics-safe power

The generator’s electronic voltage regulation keeps total harmonic distortion below 5%, protecting laptops, gaming consoles and smart-home hubs from voltage spikes.

Engineered for harsh climates

Sealed aluminum panels resist corrosion, and the 186 mph wind rating exceeds hurricane-force requirements. Built-in low-oil and high-temperature shutdowns, plus vibration isolation mounts, safeguard the engine in scorching or sub-zero conditions.
