Is a Kohler Generator Right for Your Home?

Choosing the right backup power solution depends on how your household uses electricity and how often outages occur. When evaluating options, it helps to consider a few practical questions:

  • How frequently do outages affect your area, particularly in heavily wooded and rural locations?

  • Does anyone in the home rely on medical equipment or remote work?

  • Do you want to power the entire home or only essential systems?

For many homes, systems ranging from 12kW to 28kW provide dependable coverage. A detailed load analysis helps determine the appropriate size and configuration to support steady, efficient backup power.

    Common Questions about Kohler Generators

    How loud is a Kohler generator?
    Most models operate between 56 and 71 decibels, similar to a central air unit. Proper placement further minimizes sound.

    Are Kohler standby generators worth the investment?
    For homeowners who experience frequent outages or rely on essential systems, a standby generator can provide long-term value, protection, and peace of mind.

    How much maintenance is required?
    Routine service is due after 150 hours or every once a year, whichever comes first.

    Why not use a portable generator instead?
    Portable units require manual setup, refueling, and limited power output. A standby system connects directly to the home and operates automatically.
