Automatic, hands-off operation
In the event of a utility power outage, the transfer switch - working in
tandem with the generator - automatically starts the generator to restore power
to the home, whether you're home or away.
Fast backup power
KOHLER generators restore power within 10 seconds of an outage.
Clean, digital power
KOHLER standby generators feature the industry's only true digital power and supply
worry-free protection for even the most sophisticated home appliances and electronics.
Quiet
New, sleek weather-resistant sound enclosures protect the unit from the year-round
elements and keep operating noise at neighborly-friendly levels - at or below 65
dB(A), quieter than a typical vacuum cleaner.
Power
The 12RES model is the only generator in its class powerful enough to start and
run a typical 4-ton (48,000 BTU) central-air conditioner.
Reliable
All KOHLER generator sets and components are prototype tested, factory built and
production tested.
Easy to service
Simple to use, the KOHLER Advanced Digital Control (ADC) shows readings
on output, battery voltage, oil pressure, engine hours, run conditions and system
fault conditions, while providing precision power and password-secure access (currently
offered on units 8 kW to 30 kW). In the unlikely event service is required, it can
often be provided over the phone.
Easy to install
The 8.5kW and 12kW units are equipped with a built-in mounting pad for reduced installation
time and cost.
Natural gas or LP fuel
Unlike portable generators that need to be refueled and manually started, KOHLER
generator sets are fueled by your home's existing fuel source - natural gas or liquid
propane (LP).
UL-Listed
All KOHLER standby residential generators are UL tested and listed to UL 2200 for
your safety and protection. KOHLER automatic transfer switches are UL tested and
listed to UL 1008.
Performance
Slightly larger than the main distribution panel, the automatic transfer switch
exercises the generator weekly to keep it performing at peak efficiency
