What to Know Before Buying a Generator
Never lose power again.
During an outage, your KOHLER ® Generator automatically keeps your power on. So, you and your family can stay safe and connected even in unexpected situations.
What is a Standby Generator?
When the power goes out, a standby generator automatically powers your entire home during an outage, whether you're home or not. The automatic transfer switch (ATS) that is connected immediately signals the generator to start. And once installed, the entire unit operates completely hands-free for you, the homeowner. Talk about peace of mind.
A KOHLER Certified Installer will install the backup generator outside your home, and it will activate automatically within about 10 seconds or less of a power loss.
Whether you're home or away, the automatic transfer switch will engage until the power grid is restored.
You won't need to deal with extension cords or worry about refueling with gasoline or diesel. Your standby generator connects directly to your home's power source, such as natural gas (NG) or liquid propane.

Power It All
KOHLER® generators can keep your entire home running. Discover all the essential appliances and systems to consider powering during a power outage.
Fridge/Freezer
During an outage, your food is the first thing to go. On average homeowners lose about $250 worth of perishable foods without a generator. That’s a lot of hard-earned cash out the window.
Electronics
We understand how important it is to keep your electronics running. Feel confident knowing that everything, from medical equipment to chargers, will power on in about 10 seconds. You'll also be able to protect your devices from power surges by holding a consistent voltage level.
Heat/Air Conditioner
With uncertain weather, no one can plan for an outage. Feel comfortable knowing your quiet generator will automatically switch on your air conditioning or heat. Beat the heat or stay cool in your home during any weather condition.
Lights
Power's off? Keep the lights on!
In less than 10 seconds, watch as your lights power back on, helping you and your family stay safe and comfortable. Having quick access to your lights, you can potentially spot any safety or environmental hazards quickly and efficiently.
Water
If you use well water, you won't be able to shower or flush the toilet during an outage. No sump pump means you could spend over $26,000 on a flooded basement plus additional repairs on burst pipes or mold removal. Feel confident knowing that you will have secure access to the water you need to continue your day-to-day life.
