If you’ve been thinking about upgrading or replacing your generator, this might be the right time to make a move. Due to specific safety concerns about older generators, new standards have been created to ensure that models being sold in 2020 and beyond are protected against risks of CO-related death when generators are used in enclosed spaces or in other situations where CO might accumulate to dangerous levels.
As a leading brand with a history of engine and technology innovations, Briggs generators are leading the way in this new protection. Mister Sparky Generators of Myrtle Beach, SC is ready to help our customers understand these concerns and how their current generators, upgrades, and new installations can help keep them safe from carbon monoxide.
Briggs Generators Have Safety-Designed Engines
Chances are, if you mention Briggs generators to the oldest members of your family, you’ll get a wealth of stories about how Briggs engines have served them well from the farm to suburban lawns and industrial job sites. The evolution of Briggs products has included careful design goals including minimizing CO production from the combustion process. This puts Briggs products in the lead even before new carbon monoxide protection technologies are included.
CO Guard ™ Technology Places Briggs Generators Ahead Once Again
Most homes now have, or should have, carbon monoxide detectors to protect living and sleeping spaces from this deadly, odorless gas. Part of current safety campaigns is to make sure that people are aware of the risk, using battery-operated detectors and also locating potential sources such as portable generators away from occupied spaces.
The advanced technology used in Briggs Generators, called CO Guard, needs to protect people against the accumulation of high levels of CO, while also avoiding unnecessary shutdowns of critical generator capacity. That could occur due to winds blowing pockets of gas past the CO sensor or other transient sensor triggers. These generators manage to combine the critical safety of CO protection with the essential service of electricity generation. Years of design, simulation, and testing result in yet another industry-leading advance.
New Safety Standards Introduced in 2018
The Portable Generator Manufacturers Association (PGMA) has published new standards in 2018 that address carbon monoxide (CO) risks as well as promoting new safety protections on portable generators including physical safety, electrical hazard protection, weather-based protections, engine regulation controls, and longer-term safety from wear and tear, corrosion, and other factors that could produce hazards over time. These generators lead the industry in many of these areas, with safety and performance innovations that have stood the test of time.
