Investment of $3,000 to $15,000 installed, depending on whether your home requires a portable or a standby system. One of our Kohler-certified technicians can evaluate your home's power requirements and recommend the right size.

It's true that permanent home generators can range quite a bit depending on the level of automatic transfer switching and other tech involved. But we advise customers to focus less on price and more on the true value. In the case of a power outage or emergency, a generator provides you with power to keep your family safe and comfortable from extreme temperatures, prevent food loss and waste, and it gives you the peace of mind. When you break down the annual cost over its long lifespan, it's an affordable home investment that is safer and more reliable than other alternatives.

Portables are flexible for locations or occasional use, but typically do not power as many essential circuits. Permanent units can run your whole home and are set as a backup to automatically power your circuits as soon as an outage occurs. This makes permanent generators a more convenient and reliable option for homeowners, especially if they wish to add a valuable investment to their home.

Generator sizing depends on the number of high-wattage appliances you want backup for - HVAC, well pump, kitchen appliances, etc. Our technicians use load calculations to suggest an ideal size. Oversizing is wasted money, undersizing means you can't run everything you need in an outage.
