Kohler Backup Home Generators
Kohler has manufactured generators since 1920 and builds every residential unit - engine included - in the United States. Their standby generators run on natural gas or propane, start automatically during an outage, and deliver some of the cleanest power output in the industry. Select Power provides Kohler generator installation, maintenance, and repair services throughout the area.
Why Homeowners Choose Kohler Generators
Kohler builds generators with commercial-grade engines - the same technology trusted by hospitals, the National Weather Service, and the FAA. That engineering carries into their residential lineup.
Kohler alternators are heavier than competing brands, all-copper with rare earth magnets, and produce less than 1% total voltage variation. Your power company allows up to 1.75%. That level of power quality protects sensitive electronics, medical equipment, and high-end appliances during extended outages.
Their corrosion-proof composite enclosures are built for coastal conditions - tested to withstand 181 mph winds and resistant to salt air and humidity. For Sarasota and Gulf Coast homeowners, that's a practical advantage over steel enclosures that corrode over time.
Every Kohler unit ships with a 5-year, 2,000-hour parts and labor warranty. Remote monitoring through the KOHLER Energy Management app lets you check status, view maintenance alerts, and confirm readiness from your phone. A built-in weekly self-test cycle runs the engine automatically to keep it ready between outages.
Kohler Generator Installation and Service by Select Power
Select Power's certified technicians handle every step of your Kohler generator installation: site assessment, generator sizing, permitting, concrete pad placement, electrical connections, fuel line hookup, transfer switch wiring, and final startup testing. Most installations are completed within one to two days.
After installation, we walk you through your system - how to read the controller, what the weekly test sounds like, and when to call for service. We also offer maintenance plans that cover oil changes, filter replacements, battery checks, and full system inspections to keep your warranty valid and your generator ready for the next storm.
Not sure what size you need? During your free on-site consultation, we'll calculate your home's actual electrical load and recommend the right Kohler model - whether that's a 14kW for essential circuits or a 26kW for full whole-home coverage. No guesswork, no upselling.
