Product Details

Your home is a busy place. And a commercial-grade KOHLER® automatic home generator keeps that rhythm going by providing dependable protection during unexpected power outages. Available with 8.5 to 100kW output capabilities, KOHLER® home generators provide worry-free emergency power to support your electrical needs for days, or even weeks. Clean, quiet, automatic backup power - just what your family needs to be safe and comfortable.

• More Powerful Performance
• Kohler·s exclusive PowerBoostª technology provides greater motor starting capability for large loads such as central air conditioners while still running other home appliances and electronics.
• The Kohler 8.5 kW generator is powerful enough to start and run a typical 3 ton central air conditioner, while still running other home appliances and electronics
• Safer Power for Sensitive Electronics
• Many power sources can damage and degrade sensitive home electronics due to unstable power quality or high levels of total harmonic distortion (THD).
