Get StartedBriggs & Stratton Power Protect models come with either a 6 or 10 year (DX models) warranty.
Just like the vehicles you drive, generators need routine maintenance.
Annual maintenance is required as part of your Briggs & Stratton warranty.
(or after 100 hours of use, whichever comes first)
There’s much more to a generator system than the engine that drives it.Sommers service technicians are factory-trained in every part of your generator system, end to end. They will not only inspect and service its engine; they also check its complete electrical system and connections to ensure that it will perform reliably and efficiently.
"I had the pleasure of meeting one of Sommers Generators' service
technicians today. Ken did a valve maintenance job on my generator.
He arrived on time and the work was done in a timely manner. Great job, Ken!

Whether you rely on your generator as a standby system or as a primary power source, you need to know that you can count on it season after season, year after year.ProAction service plans are the simplest way to make sure that your whole system gets the preventive maintenance it needs.

98%
of all Emergency Service calls for generator issues can be avoided with properly scheduled maintenance
Your personalized ProAction program includes a complete cost quotation for routine service, as well as the expected costing for periodic replacement of key service parts.
Ask us about upgrading your ProAction service plan to include full load bank testing. These tests power up through your system with different electrical loads so your Sommers technician can monitor and verify its true operating performance.
Full load bank testing will not only ensure your genset is producing full output power, but it will also ensure the engine cooling, fuel supply and room ventilation systems are all functioning in accordance with their system design parameters.
The engine will operate at its optimum efficiency and minor issues can be detected early on before they become problematic or catastrophic. It’s the ultimate proof to ensure your peace of mind.
Recently many have experienced outages due to extreme weather.
If your generator is being operated for a prolonged outage, be sure to check the oil & top up (if needed) using 5W-30 synthetic oil (for Briggs & Stratton home series). Keep an eye on your usage by checking the hour meter (located on the controller). If you exceed 100 hours of use, you will need to schedule a maintenance call to ensure optimal operation.
Part of storm prep should always include spare oil on hand and checking the hour meter for a base line.
If your power has been out for 3-4 days or more, you will need to schedule a maintenance call as part of your warranty coverage.
