Kohler Residential Generators
Your home is a busy place. And a commercial-grade KOHLER® automatic residential generator keeps that rhythm going by providing dependable protection during unexpected power outages. Residential generators provide worry-free emergency power to support your electrical needs for days, or even weeks.
The KOHLER® standby power system features the:
- Generator
- Battery Charger
- Transfer Switch
- Distribution Panel
A standby generator is permanently installed outdoors, much like an air-conditioning unit is. The generator operates on your home's existing fuel source - whether that's natural gas or liquid propane (LP).

The transfer switch is the brain of your KOHLER backup power system. It continually monitors the utility power for an interruption. If utility power fails, the transfer switch automatically starts the generator, transfers the electrical loads and restores power to your home. When utility power resumes, the transfer switch reverses the process... again, automatically, whether you're home or away. Similar to an automobile engine, a KOHLER generator system requires a starting battery. The Battery Tender™ automatic charger keeps the battery charged, assuring that the generator system will start and function when needed. |
Determining Your Power Needs
How much electricity does my home require during a power outage?
Actual wattage demand of your appliances and electrical devices will vary depending on their age, brand, and other variables. Appliances that use motors require more power to start than to run.
We are providing a handy wattage reference guide that will give you an estimate of your power needs. However, before purchasing a unit, consult a local KOHLER Power Professional. They will analyze the actual electrical load for your home, then specify and install the proper KOHLER residential backup generator system.
