Briggs and Stratton PowerProtect 22kW Home Standby Generator (PP22)
The smart “whole-home comfort” standby pick when you want real power and real value
There’s a point where outages stop being a nuisance and start messing with your life. Food goes bad. The house gets uncomfortable. The internet drops right when you need updates. And you are back to juggling extension cords like it’s normal.
The Briggs and Stratton PowerProtect 22kW is built for the homeowner who wants to be done with that. It is a true home standby generator that starts automatically, runs on natural gas or propane, and comes with a 7-year comprehensive warranty that covers the stuff people actually worry about: parts, labor, travel, and major components.
This is not the biggest generator on the block. It is the one that makes the most sense for a lot of real suburban homes.
The practical win: full 22kW on natural gas and propane
A lot of standby generators act tough until you connect them to natural gas, then the output drops. That is frustrating because natural gas is the fuel most homeowners want for standby power. No refills. No fuel rotation. No panic runs.
The PP22 keeps it simple:
- 22,000W running on Natural Gas
- 22,000W running on Propane (LP)
So you can plan your backup around one number, not a “depends what fuel you’re on” surprise.
And yes, it still benefits from NGMax design focus, built to deliver strong natural gas performance in the real world where most homes operate.
Built for the load-starting moments that cause outages to feel worse
The worst part of generator ownership is not running a lamp. It is when something tries to start.
Fridge compressor kicks on. AC tries to start. Furnace blower cycles. Sump pump wakes up. That is when weak systems stumble.
PowerProtect 22kW brings 45kVA of motor starting power, designed to handle those real household start-up surges so your home feels normal instead of “barely hanging on.”
Flexible placement when your yard is not a blank slate
Most homeowners do not have a perfect spot waiting for a generator. There are setbacks, landscaping, gates, and “please don’t put that next to the patio.”
PowerProtect is approved for professional installation as close as 18 inches to a building, which can open up placement options and make the install cleaner and more discreet.
A warranty that actually feels like peace of mind
This is where PowerProtect separates itself from a lot of standby options.
7-year comprehensive warranty includes:
- Mileage and travel
- Labor
- Parts
- Major components
No out-of-pocket costs for covered service. That matters because the whole point of standby power is not just having it, it is knowing you are not stuck paying surprise repair bills down the road.
Weekly self-testing without the weekly racket
A standby generator should stay ready without reminding the neighborhood every week.
Eco-Cise is a 16-second weekly test mode designed to keep the unit in top operating condition while reducing exercise time, noise, and fuel use.
It is a small feature that makes ownership feel a lot easier over the years.
Built to live outside, year after year
The PP22 uses a reinforced, corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure with Dura-Zen coating. That is not just marketing. It is what keeps a generator looking good and holding up through rain, heat, cold snaps, and the general grime of outdoor life.
If you live in a humid area or anywhere corrosion is a real problem, enclosure quality matters.
Optional load management if you want more control
Not every homeowner needs to power everything at once. Some want priorities handled automatically so the essentials always win.
With optional Symphony Choice Power Management, you can prioritize what matters most to your household so power is used the way you actually live.
Certified beyond emergencies
Along with emergency use, PowerProtect is certified for non-emergency use, which can allow participation in some utility demand response programs where available. That can mean incentives or rewards depending on your utility and local program rules.

Who this generator is made for
The PowerProtect 22kW is a great fit if you want:
- Automatic backup power that keeps the house livable during outages
- Strong natural gas performance without playing games with reduced output
- Enough muscle to handle real household start-ups, not just lights and chargers
- A long warranty that covers the expensive parts of ownership
- A clean-looking, outdoor-ready enclosure that holds up over time
- Placement flexibility for typical suburban homes
Bottom line
The Briggs and Stratton PowerProtect 22kW is the “power meets value” standby generator for homeowners who are done with outage chaos. Full 22kW output on both natural gas and propane, strong motor-starting capability, quick weekly self-test, flexible placement, and one of the most comprehensive warranties in the category.
It is the kind of upgrade that turns outages from a family stress event into a minor inconvenience.
