Local municipality/fire department is going to have a backup generator installed this summer. I've been handling the bidding process, and up until yesterday was pretty confident we were going to get a Generac. Local electrician I have been bugging to give a bid finally called me yesterday to look the job over, 2 days before bid is due. Of course, he's going to be the black sheep and insist that if it's not a Briggs&Stratton, he's not interested. He had a couple of valid reasons for shunning the Generac, but I'm not really interested in sharing his concerns here. What I'd ask is does anyone have any real world experience with either brand, and any legitimate pros/cons of each? Price is not a factor at this point, just looking at things from a reliability/longevity standpoint. Thanks.
