Q: You advertise Free Lift Gate *On Applicable Models. Does the B&G 40301-EMT-7kW Home Standby Generator qualify for this free service? by William R. Farmer from Kentucky on June 23, 2012
A: Free Lift Gate Service is available on all the air cooled home standby generators. It is the larger Liquid Cooled generators (22kW and up) that cannot utilize the lift gate service at all since they are too big.
Q: How far from the wall of the house must this generator be when installed? by Bob Boden from Arizona on February 20, 2011
A: The manufacturer recommends a minimum of 36 inches but it is recommended to check with your city, county and state electrical codes to verify you are within their compliance for installation. by Jim, Product Expert

Service Dealer
I've had no problem with my unit four 4 years have about 50 hours on it. When i had a service dealer come out, my voltage regulator was bad. He said that this is the only problem with this unit.no one stocks this part. H e had to order. I was charged two service trips plus labor totaled to be $675, thought was A rip off. The part was 129.00 will not repair again cheaper to buy a new one.

Sucks Too
I have had this Standby Generator for nearly 6 years. I have spent many cold trips outside in rain and snow storms to reset this generator because it didn't start. From day one it has not been reliable. True to it's name, it is a standby generator, it just stands by our house and does nothing. I had to give up on the dealer service and try another service company but it still acted up after that and now it rolls over and does not start at all. Contacted Briggs and Stratton by email a number of times and it was referred to their Technicians last time but they must be on standby too as they neglected to respond to my issues. I plan to buy a new one and it won't be Briggs and Stratton. I won't even be able to get anything for this one as at present it is dead.

Unreliable Generator
I purchased a Briggs and Stratton in 2009 and have had numerous problems. They are not dependable. I have had to replace 2 voltage regulators and now there is a problem that still exist. The unit tries to start but will not run.

Sucks
Service for this generator has been going on for 5 months, hope u never have any problems.
Won't replace it, two engines and 7 service trips. They will spend money to the dealer, but will not satisfy the CUSTOMER

Briggs & Stratton 7kw Home Standby Generator Review
Awesome generator! I haven't seen anything engineered and constructed this good for a long time.
Works perfect, when power goes off automatically throws selected circuits online in about 45 seconds.
Even though it is enclosed, it is still pretty loud, but then they all are. Works great at 8000 feet and runs most everything in my house.
The only thing that I don't like is the weekly exerciser feature cannot be turned off or extended to once a month. Other than that don't hesitate to get one of these!

Briggs & Stratton 7kw Home Standby Generator Review
This thing is great.... It is on the smaller side, and looks good.
It also has a box that looks good for the inside.. the generack is very ugly

Briggs & Stratton 7kw Home Standby Generator Review
Wow - compact, yet powerful - and it looks just like a small air conditioner. In fact, my neighbors thought I was installing a second AC! - what a great buy. For essential power needs, this was perfect for us. My wife and I travel quite a bit and two weeks ago we had a power outage that lasted 50 hours while we were away from home. We saved the food in our freezer and Fridge, and the sump pump worked flawlessly with the backup power it supplied.
Installation was really easy too - I highly recommend this automatic little dynamo.
