Kohler standby generators are built to the exacting standards that have defined the Kohler brand across its entire product line, incorporating premium components, advanced engine technology, and rigorous quality testing that translates into exceptional reliability when your home needs backup power most. Kohler generators are engineered for long service life and consistent performance through years of standby operation, with robust enclosures designed to withstand the Pacific Northwest’s wet winters and temperature variations.
Kohler’s KOHLER Power Reserve app provides remote monitoring and management of your generator, allowing you to check system status, review exercise history, and receive alerts from anywhere. Kohler generators automatically exercise on a scheduled basis to ensure readiness, and their advanced controllers run self-diagnostics that alert you to any issues before they affect your backup power capability.
Kohler offers a comprehensive range of residential standby generators from compact 10kW units suited for critical circuit backup to powerful 150kW+ commercial-grade units capable of powering large estate homes with heavy electrical demands. This range ensures there is a correctly sized Kohler unit for virtually any residential backup power requirement.

Determining whether a Kohler standby generator is the right backup power solution depends on your outage history, your household’s power needs, and your desire for automatic protection that requires no manual intervention. A Kohler standby generator is ideal for homeowners who want whole-home backup power that starts automatically within seconds of a grid outage, those who travel frequently and need backup protection even when they’re not home, households with medical equipment or other systems that cannot tolerate any interruption in power, and homeowners who have experienced extended multi-day outages and want permanent protection against future disruption.
Common situations that drive Kohler generator installation decisions include living in areas of Snohomish or King County prone to windstorm and ice storm outages, homes dependent on well pumps for water supply that fails when power goes out, households with electric heating systems that leave occupants without warmth during winter outages, and homeowners who want the peace of mind that comes from knowing their home is protected by one of the most reliable standby generator brands available.
Professional installation is required for Kohler standby generators to ensure proper transfer switch installation, correct gas or propane fuel line connections, code-compliant electrical work, and valid warranty coverage. DIY generator installation creates serious safety risks and voids manufacturer warranties
Call us anytime at (425) 371-8570 to discuss which Kohler generator best fits your home.
Our Kohler generator installation process begins with a comprehensive load assessment and site evaluation to determine the correct generator size and optimal placement for your home. We calculate your home’s essential and whole-home electrical loads, evaluate available natural gas service pressure or propane supply capacity, identify compliant generator placement that meets required setback distances from structures and property lines, and assess the most efficient routing for gas lines and electrical connections.
The installation process involves preparing a proper generator mounting pad of concrete or composite material, positioning and anchoring the Kohler generator unit, installing an automatic transfer switch appropriately sized for your generator and electrical system, running generator output wiring from the generator to the transfer switch with proper overcurrent protection, coordinating natural gas line extension or propane supply installation with your fuel provider, connecting and testing the automatic transfer switch operation, and configuring the Kohler controller for scheduled exercise and monitoring.
We coordinate all required inspections and utility notifications, ensuring your Kohler generator installation is fully compliant, properly documented, and covered under Kohler’s manufacturer warranty.

Selecting the correct Kohler generator size is one of the most important decisions in the installation process, determining whether your generator can reliably power your intended loads without overloading or operating inefficiently. Kohler residential generators are available in a range of output capacities to match different home sizes and backup power goals.
Kohler generators in the 10-20kW range are well suited for critical circuit backup covering lighting, refrigeration, heating systems, and essential outlets for most homes. Generators in the 20-38kW range provide whole-home coverage for average-sized homes including central air conditioning, electric water heaters, and all standard appliances. Larger Kohler units in the 48kW and above range serve larger homes with multiple HVAC systems, electric vehicles, or other high-demand electrical loads that require substantial generating capacity.
We perform detailed electrical load calculations for every Kohler generator installation to ensure your system is properly sized, accounting for starting surge requirements of motor loads like air conditioners and well pumps that demand significantly more power at startup than during continuous operation.

Every Kohler standby generator installation requires a properly rated automatic transfer switch that monitors your utility power, detects outages, starts the generator, and transfers your home’s electrical load to generator power — all within seconds and without any action required from you. When utility power is restored, the transfer switch automatically returns your home to grid power and shuts down the generator after a cool-down period.
Kohler manufactures its own line of automatic transfer switches designed to work seamlessly with Kohler generators, providing integrated communication between the generator and transfer switch for optimized performance and simplified troubleshooting. We install properly rated Kohler transfer switches for every generator installation, ensuring reliable automatic operation and full compatibility with your generator’s control system.
Have questions about how Kohler’s automatic transfer switch works? Call us anytime at (425) 371-8570 and we’ll explain everything.

We manage all permitting, inspection scheduling, and utility coordination for your Kohler generator installation, ensuring your system is fully approved, code-compliant, and properly documented.
