Why Choose a KOHLER® Backup Generator?
KOHLER® has been building generators since 1920, and its power equipment is used in homes as well as demanding environments such as hospitals, airports, and other critical facilities. KOHLER® residential generators bring that focus on dependable performance to a permanently installed system that can automatically respond when utility power goes out.
Homeowners can benefit from features that include:
- Automatic backup power – An automatic transfer switch detects a utility outage and allows the generator to begin supplying electricity without requiring you to manually start it.
- Natural gas or propane operation – KOHLER® home generators connect to your home’s natural gas or propane supply, eliminating the need to refill a portable fuel tank during an outage.
- PowerBoost™ technology – This technology provides additional motor-starting capacity for demanding equipment without dropping power to other appliances.
- Weather-resistant construction – KOHLER® designs its generator enclosures to withstand harsh outdoor conditions throughout the year.
- Remote monitoring – Compatible systems allow you to check generator status through the KOHLER® Energy Management app, even when you are away from home.
KOHLER® Whole House Generators Sized for Your Backup-Power Needs
Choosing a KOHLER® backup generator starts with deciding how much of your home you want to protect. Some homeowners want enough capacity for essential systems, while others want broader whole-house coverage that allows life to continue with fewer adjustments during an extended outage.
Restivo’s evaluates your home, electrical system, and backup-power priorities to determine an appropriate generator size. Depending on your household, important loads may include:
- Heating and air-conditioning equipment.
- Refrigerators and freezers.
- Sump pumps or well pumps.
- Interior and exterior lighting.
- Outlets and home-office equipment.
- Other appliances and electrical systems you consider essential.
KOHLER® offers residential generators in multiple capacities, and the manufacturer recommends having a generator professional analyze the property’s electrical load rather than selecting equipment based on a simple rule of thumb.
Professional KOHLER® Generator Installation From Local Experts
Installing a standby generator involves much more than setting equipment next to your home. The generator must be properly sized, located, connected to an appropriate fuel source, integrated with your electrical system, and paired with the equipment needed to transfer power safely when an outage occurs.
Restivo’s provides both generator and residential electrical services, allowing our team to approach KOHLER® generator installation with the home’s complete electrical infrastructure in mind. We evaluate your power requirements, determine an appropriate system configuration, coordinate the electrical connections and automatic transfer equipment, and test the completed installation. We can also identify whether existing electrical equipment needs attention to properly support the new generator.
Automatic Backup Power When You Need It
One of the biggest advantages of KOHLER® whole house generators is that homeowners do not have to be present to put them into operation. When utility service is interrupted, the standby system detects the outage, starts the generator, and transfers the selected electrical loads to backup power.
Once utility service returns, the automatic transfer switch moves the home back to grid power and the generator eventually returns to standby mode. There is no portable generator to retrieve, extension cords to run through the house, or gasoline tank to continually refill.
KOHLER® Generator Maintenance & Repair
A standby generator may go months without experiencing a major outage, but it still needs to be ready when the power fails. Ongoing maintenance can help identify wear, operating issues, or other concerns before an emergency puts the system to the test.
Restivo’s can provide continued service after installation, including generator maintenance, system checks, troubleshooting, and repairs. That gives homeowners one local company to call throughout the life of their backup-power system, rather than only during the initial installation.
