Briggs & Stratton PowerProtect 26 kW Dual Fuel (Liquid Propane/Natural Gas) Home Standby Generator Aluminum Enclosure

Among the latest additions to Briggs & Stratton’s lineup, the PP26 home standby generator is part of the acclaimed PowerProtect series — engineered for whole-house protection in demanding climates. Thanks to its advanced low-THD alternator (<5% THD), it delivers clean, stable electricity for sensitive electronics while optimizing fuel consumption on either natural gas or liquid propane.

With 26 kW running power on propane (24 kW on natural gas), the PP26 can easily start a 5-ton central AC, run high-efficiency heat pumps, and keep every major home appliance online during an outage. Dual-fuel flexibility lets you choose the most convenient energy source, and an automatic weekly self-test ensures the unit is always ready.

• Low-THD alternator – <5% THD (safe for laptops & medical devices)
• 65 dB(A) at normal load (quieter than many portable units)
• Hard-wired 120/240 V output via automatic transfer switch (125 A breaker built-in)
• Automatic electric start • programmable exercise cycle
• UL & cUL listed • low-oil shutdown • high-temperature & fault-code protection

• 7-year limited residential warranty

Power for every essential

With a robust motor-starting capability of 65.5 kVA, the PP26 handles central air conditioners, well pumps, freezers, EV-charger loads, and large power tools without voltage sag. The onboard GC-1032 controller automatically throttles engine speed during low-load conditions to reduce fuel use and wear.

Fuel-efficient performance & continuous runtime

Plumbed directly into your home’s propane tank or gas meter, the Vanguard® V-twin engine sips fuel — using just 1.40 gal LP hr at idle. Unlimited runtime means you stay powered through multi-day grid failures without refueling runs.

Whisper-quiet operation

An oversized muffler, sound-dampening insulation, and low-idle mode keep noise to a neighbor-friendly 65 dB(A) during normal operation.

Clean, stable power for electronics

The electronically regulated alternator keeps Total Harmonic Distortion below 5%, protecting smart-home hubs, medical devices, and office electronics from damaging power spikes.

Durability & safety you can trust

A rust-proof aluminum enclosure, powder-coated base, and cast-iron cylinder sleeve withstand harsh winters and coastal environments. Critical safeguards include automatic low-oil shutdown, high-temp shutdown, and integral vibration isolation mounts.

Intuitive controls & remote monitoring

The LED-lit GC-1032 panel displays voltage, frequency, and engine hours at a glance, while optional InfoHub™ cellular modules let you check load, maintenance intervals, and alert codes from anywhere.
