NEVER LOSE POWER AGAIN.
During an outage, your KOHLER® Generator keeps your power on. So you and your family can stay safe, powered and connected.
WHAT IS A HOME BACKUP GENERATOR?
A home backup generator is permanently installed outside your house (like an AC unit) and comes on automatically when the power is out — whether you’re home or away. They connect to your home’s natural gas or liquid propane system so there are no extension cords and no refueling with gasoline, just backup power when you need it most.
Power It All
KOHLER generators can power your entire home. Take a look.
Fridge/Freezer
During an outage, your food is the first thing to go. That’s a lot of hard-earned cash out the window. Good news though: we love your groceries as much as you do.
Electronics
TV, tablet, computer. These things keep you connected to the world and what you love to do. We keep them powered and protected from erratic power surges.
Heat/AC
Whether it's the dead of winter or the dog days of summer, your HVAC is what keeps your family comfy and your home protected. And when your HVAC's happy, everybody's happy.
Lights & Water
Let there be light. That’s our philosophy anyway. Come hurricane, hail or ice storm, your home will still be sunny inside.
Running water is a big deal—you need it for drinking, cleaning and flushing. On the other hand, if it’s running into your basement that’s another kind of big deal—really big. If your home depends on well water or a sump pump, we keep everything working as it should. That means faucets, toilets, showers, washing machine, sump pump and more.

POWER UP TO KEEP COSTS DOWN.
Severe weather is the single leading cause of power outages in the United States. The amount and severity of these outages has spiked dramatically over the past decade, causing physical, emotional and economic hardship for many Americans. Here is a look at the cost of power outages in the U.S., as well as some helpful tips on how to protect your home and family during the next big outage.
WHAT’S AN AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH? (AKA ATS)
Meet the brains behind your home generator system. The ATS is always monitoring your home’s power.
During an outage, it automatically transfers power from the utility to your generator. And when utility power is restored, the ATS turns off your generator and returns your home’s power to the utility grid. Pretty great, huh?
GENERATOR COSTS: WHAT TO EXPECT
A home generator plus installation can start at under $6,000. However, the total cost will vary substantially based on your power and installation needs.
When shopping standby home generators, your checklist should include generator size, costs, permits and installation. But don’t worry. Your KOHLER dealer will handle all the details, so you don’t have to.
