Our Featured Residential Generator Brands

Briggs & Stratton Generators

Briggs & Stratton has been building engines for over 100 years, making them a trusted name in the generator industry. The key to a great generator is its engine, and Briggs & Stratton’s motors are designed for maximum efficiency and long-lasting performance. Their 10-year warranty on residential applications provides homeowners with the peace of mind that their investment is protected for a decade.

Recommended Models for Smaller Homes

For smaller to medium-sized homes, we recommend 12kW and 20kW generators. These units are perfect for homes that need backup power for essential appliances such as lighting, refrigerators, and even air conditioning during power outages. Depending on your home’s power load, these models will provide reliable energy without interruption.

Recommended Models for Larger Homes:

For larger homes, we recommend 35kW and 48kW Liquid Cooled Generators. These generators are designed to handle the load of larger homes and can keep your entire home powered during extended outages. The liquid-cooled design ensures smooth operation and reliability even during long runtimes.

Commercial Applications:

Briggs & Stratton’s 80-200kW commercial generators are perfect for small to midsize office buildings. These units run on either natural gas or propane, and their sleek, charcoal grey design comes with sound-attenuated enclosures, making them ideal for commercial settings.

Warranty Information Briggs & Stratton offers a 10-year warranty for residential applications, giving you the confidence that your investment is protected. This warranty covers repair bills for residential applications, ensuring you won’t face unexpected costs for the first 10 years of ownership.

Generac Generators

Generac is the largest generator company in the world, with more than 6 out of 10 homes with generators powered by Generac. A&J Generators is an authorized dealer for all Generac models, allowing us to install, service, and maintain your Generac generator with ease. We work with Generac because they offer reliable and durable products for homes of all sizes.

Recommended Models for Smaller Homes

For most smaller homes, we recommend the 20kW Generac generator. This model is designed to provide sufficient power for most essential household appliances, ensuring that your home stays powered even during an outage. Generac has been manufacturing these generators for over 10 years, so they are proven and reliable.

Recommended Models for Larger Homes

For larger homes, we recommend the 22kW Liquid Cooled Generator. This unit operates at 1800rpm, meaning it runs smoothly and efficiently. With a liquid-cooled motor, it is designed for longer runtimes, making it the perfect choice for homeowners who want uninterrupted power during extended outages.

Common Issues with Generac Generators

One common issue with Generac generators is their limited warranty. Most Generac air-cooled generators come with a 5-year warranty, but only the first 2 years cover labor costs, and parts are only covered for the first 3 years. After the initial two years, labor is not covered under warranty, which can be a concern for some homeowners.

Warranty and Maintenance Program

Generac’s warranty can be a limiting factor, but A&J Generators offers a comprehensive maintenance program that helps you keep your generator in top condition. Our expert technicians perform two maintenance visits per year (every 6 months), ensuring your generator is always ready when you need it most. Routine maintenance helps prevent issues and prolongs the life of your generator.

How Residential Generators Work?

A residential standby generator is designed to automatically turn on when a power outage occurs. These generators are connected to your home’s electrical system and can power appliances such as refrigerators, heating and cooling systems, lights, and more. They operate using either natural gas, propane, or diesel, depending on the model. A transfer switch is installed to safely transfer power from the generator to your home, ensuring a smooth transition when the grid goes down.

Standby generators are ideal for homeowners who want a seamless backup power solution during outages. With automatic start and long-run time capabilities, these systems are designed to provide continuous power until utility services are restored.
