Kohler home generators provide industry-leading voltage and frequency regulation along with ultra-low levels of harmonic distortion for the best generator power quality you can get to protect your prized electronics.
Extraordinary Reliability
Kohler is known for extraordinary reliability and performance and backs that up with an industry-leading 5-year.
Powerful Performance
Exclusive Powerboost technology provides greater starting power. The Kohler 14 kW generator can easily start and run a 5 ton air conditioner without dropping power to other appliances an unheard-of feat in other generators of this size.
Exclusive 100% Corrosion-Proof Enclosure
Unlike aluminum or steel enclosures, the bold new Kohler design is completely corrosion-proof, even in harsh seaside environments.
Faster Response
Kohler home generators restore power to your home 2-3 times faster than competitive models.
Quiet Operation
Kohler home generators provide quiet neighborhood friendly performance. You will experience even quieter operation during the ultra-quiet weekly diagnostic test

Optional Transfer Switch / RXT Series
Features
Part of the new line of KOHLER transfer switches, the RXT Line enclosures are all aluminum and rated for indoor/outdoor use. They offer the option of an exterior display for remote system status.
The brain of your KOHLER backup power system, the transfer switch continuously monitors the utility power for an interruption. If utility power fails, the transfer switch automatically starts the power system, transfers the electrical loads and restores power to your home. When utility power resumes, the transfer switch reverses the process automatically.
