Installing your Home Standby Generator

One thing to keep in mind: installing a standby generator is not a DIY project. Your standby generator will be connected to your home's electrical, natural gas line or liquid propane system. Paired with our automatic transfer switch, your whole house generator will start up automatically when there's a power outage. Ensuring you have a continuous power supply and power outage protection.

Because of this, your generator installation process begins with a home or virtual site visit with a KOHLER dealer. Your dealer will help you choose the right size generator and fuel type. They will also recommend the best locations for installing your generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS). Relax as you have peace of mind with their assistance getting your generator up and running seamlessly.
