Barrus have announced that they have partnered with Briggs & Stratton to distribute the manufacturer's Home Standby Generator Systems in the UK.

A standby generator is a unit that is permanently installed outside of the home or business by a licensed contractor and connected to the natural gas line or liquid propane providing continuous power in a power outage or blackout.

Barrus is offering two Briggs & Stratton Home Standby Generator models. The G80 generator is an 8 kW system, suitable for small to medium-sized homes, and the larger G140, 14 kW system is suitable for medium to larger homes and businesses. 

The units will be available through Barrus appointed authorised dealers who will advise on model selection depending on the power requirement. Installation will be handled either by the dealer, if they have their own experienced engineers or by Total Electrical & Mechanical Solutions who have a team of fully certified installers around the country.  A full site survey will be undertaken prior to installation and commissioning, and the units will require an annual service. The generators come with a Briggs & Stratton warranty of 3-years/1000 hrs, (commencing from the date of final commissioning).

John Day, general manager of the Industrial Engines Division at Barrus said, “We are looking forward to grasping this opportunity and developing and growing this area of business."
