What's a
home generator?
A standby home generator keeps your power on during an outage. It's installed outside your house (like an AC unit) and comes on automatically - whether you're home or away. All within seconds of a power outage.
Plus, home generators run on propane or natural gas, so there's no refueling.

How does a
home generator work?
It's easier than you think. Kohler generators can power your entire home, including critical hard-wired systems like AC, heat, sump pumps, well pumps, security systems and large appliances, as well as smaller devices and other mechanicals such as faucets, toilets, showers and more. It delivers high-quality power and won't harm your electronics.
Before the
power goes out
Your automatic transfer switch (ATS) monitors the electricity coming from the utility. It's working 24/7 to protect your home. This handy little device is located on your automatic transfer switch. It tells you where your home's power is coming from, utility or generator (see colored icons to right).
The power goes out
When the power fails or drops below an acceptable level (brownout), the ATS signals the generator to start. In seconds, the ATS transfers your power from the utility to the generator. By the time you read this, your Kohler generator will have started and restored power to your home.
Your generator
powers your home
Your generator then supplies your home with electricity until the stead utility power is restored. Kohler generators endure hundreds of tests (during design and production) before they reach your home. The result is total reliability.
The utility
power returns
When the utility is restored, the ATS automatically transfers your power from the generator to the utility.
Your generator
turns off
Your standby generator automatically shuts down, ready for the next power outage.
