FAQs


The right generator size depends on your home's square footage, the number of appliances you want to power during an outage, and the complexity of the installation. Whether you're looking to back up your whole home or just the essentials, your local Kohler generator dealer will provide a personalized recommendation during your free in-home consultation.

While we can provide MSRP pricing for KOHLER home generators and accessories, a full installation quote requires a personalized home assessment. That’s because generator installation costs vary based on several factors, including:

  • Your preferred fuel source (natural gas or propane) and whether it's already connected to your home

  • Local permitting requirements, which your certified KOHLER dealer will manage for you

  • Generator placement on your property, which impacts materials, labor, and code compliance

To ensure an accurate price, your KOHLER dealer will perform a free on-site consultation to evaluate your home’s layout and recommend the right generator size, location, and installation plan.

KOHLER residential standby generators—including their engines—are designed, engineered, and assembled in the USA. While we partner with trusted global suppliers for select components, many key parts are sourced and manufactured in the United States to ensure premium quality and performance.

Choosing a KOHLER generator made in America means you're investing in reliable backup power, supported by over 100 years of U.S.-based engineering and innovation.

While KOHLER does not directly offer financing, many of our certified KOHLER dealers provide generator financing options to make backup power more affordable. During your free in-home consultation, be sure to ask your dealer about available financing plans.

KOHLER standby generators run on either natural gas or liquid propane (LP), making them a flexible solution for most homes. Our generators connect directly to your existing natural gas line or a liquid propane tank installed on your property. If your home doesn’t have natural gas service, your KOHLER dealer can help coordinate LP installation during the setup process.

KOHLER standby generators are engineered to operate reliably in extreme weather conditions—including snowstorms, blizzards, and freezing temperatures. For homeowners in colder climates, we recommend using cold weather accessories to help your generator start and run smoothly when temperatures drop below 32°F.

KOHLER standby generators are not solar-powered, but they are used to back up solar systems in homes across the country. Because KOHLER standby generators connect to your home’s natural gas or liquid propane system, they are a great way to back up your solar system.

The key difference lies in what's included and how each model is configured:

  • RCAL Generators: These models include a transfer switch, making them a convenient, all-in-one solution for automatic backup power. They’re ideal for homeowners who want a bundled system for easier installation.

  • RCA Generators: For these models the transfer switch is sold separately, offering more flexibility for custom installations or upgrades.

Your local KOHLER dealer can help you choose the best model for your home’s needs - whether you want a pre-packaged system or a flexible setup tailored to your installation.
