MILWAUKEE, May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs & Stratton
Corporation is pleased to announce the addition of a 10-year
warranty** policy to its 12kW* and 20kW* Fortress standby generator
units. The warranty policy is the longest in the industry — valued
at $1,200 — and offers customers
peace of mind through timely repair or replacement of parts on the
dealer-exclusive standby generator models 040579 and
040592.
"Our customers rely on our standby generators to keep their
homes and businesses powered, and we take that responsibility
seriously," said Brian Northway,
product manager, Briggs & Stratton. "The new 10-year warranty
policy gives our customers confidence that their generator will be
ready to provide standby power when they need it most."
The 12kW* and 20kW* Fortress units feature a 175-mph wind rating
with third party certification (when installed in accordance with
the installation manual) pre-installed oil heaters to save time and
money and are housed in corrosion resistant enclosures for added
durability. As part of the dealer exclusive Fortress line, the
units offer a premium level of protection. As one of the more
extensive warranty policies on the market, the new 10-year warranty
on both units covers parts and labor, as well as travel, for the
full length of the policy.
"We're proud to offer our customers the industry's longest
warranty policy on these units," said Northway. "This is just one
more way we're working to offer peace of mind through standby
power."
