Get Ready for Power Outages with Kohler Generators

During the last decade, both hurricanes and blizzards have struck the Mid-Atlantic region. We cannot predict when a powerful storm will hit that causes a power outage that lasts for several days.

What a homeowner can do is be prepared by working with a licensed electrician who has extensive experience installing standby generators. They turn on within seconds when power from the utility is cut, keeping your home safe and warm while your family won’t be in the dark.

Easy and Affordable Installation

Many homeowners think it will be a hassle getting a standby generator installed. Fortunately, if you work with the right electrician and purchase a Kohler emergency standby generator, it can be easy and affordable.

From units providing 7kW to 17kW, the price range for a Kohler standby generator is approximately $1,900 to $4,500. A Kohler 16 kW unit averages under $3,700, and it is capable of powering the select circuits of a home when there is an outage.

Basics of Installation

The process of installation begins by the placement of a Kohler generator upon a GenPad. This will involve leveling the grade, installing the composite pad, and setting the generator on top of it. The electrician will then begin wiring. These steps include installing a transfer switch, conduit, and wiring, as well as interconnecting the transfer switch to the house’s electrical service. When power from the electric company is cut, the transfer switch will activate. Within seconds, the Kohler generator will start and restore electricity to your home.
