Kohler generators (air cooled) are available in 12kW to 20kW models. They make standby power a savvy investment for residential applications. For small business power standby solutions, we offer 24kW to 60kW units. These revolutionary generators are exceptionally quiet, environmentally friendly and so affordable that they can often pay for themselves during a single power outage in commercial and industrial applications. The units are fully enclosed in an insulated weatherproof enclosure. Kohler generators are the only engine designed specifically for extended generator use, not adapted from lawn and garden applications.

“I had the pleasure of doing business with Walt Meyer from Meyer Electrical Services, Inc. He and his crew of electricians and contractors installed my whole house generator. He offers competitive pricing, and professional services. Walt was very responsive with working through the issues with subcontractors to facilitate the installation of the split meter for the gas. Once that was complete his crew was efficient and promptly installed the remaining of the electrical work for automatic transfer of power to the generator during an outage. They were kind and explained everything that was being done. I felt very much included in the process as a valued client. I am comforted in knowing that my home is protected during a power outage and feel confident with the tutorial from Walt with the minimal maintenance that I need to do during an extensive outage. I am pleased with the services that I received and look forward to working with him and his team for the annual maintenance of the generator as well as any future electrical services that I may need. A stand-up company all around. I highly recommend their services!”

HOW IT WORKS

Within 10 seconds of an outage, a generator automatically turns on and provides nice, clean, and steady 120/240 volts of electricity directly to your home’s electrical panel. After the utility power returns and is sustained, the transfer switch restores the utility power back to your house. The generator will soon shut off and wait until the next power outage. It operates on natural or liquid propane gas, easily convertible, and sits outside just like a central A/C unit. As the units are fully automatic, you never have to refuel your backup generator as it is hard piped into your home’s gas supply. Besides, a standby generator lasts much longer than a portable unit as it performs a weekly self-test, which helps ensure everything is working correctly, spins the oil through the motor, and gets the generator up to operating temperature. This also flushes the gas line of any condensation build up to prevent further future damage. At that point, the only thing you need to do is check on it once a month. Make sure the oil level is correct and the system reads “Ready.” It is a fairly simple investment to operate. (For an additional information, please refer to our Guidelines for Proper Operation of Your Generator).
