BACKUP GENERATORS

A Kohler Power Boost Residential Back-Up Generator is permanently installed outdoors, similar to an air-conditioning unit. It operates on your home's existing fuel source: natural gas or liquid propane (LP). The placement of the unit is dependant upon several factors and the final determination is made after an in-depth site analysis.

The KOHLER standby power system includes the generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS.) Several additional items are needed to complete the installation, however the generator and ATS are the main components. The transfer switch is the most important element of your KOHLER standby power system as it is "the brains" of the system. The ATS continually monitors the utility power for an interruption and if utility power fails, the transfer switch automatically starts the generator, transfers the electrical loads and restores power to your home. When utility power resumes, the transfer switch reverses the process automatically.

The KOHLER standby power system performs completely independent of all other systems in your home. There is no need to maually start the unit, flip breakers on or off, or fill the unit with gas. Once the system is installed, it will run a self test weekly to ensure all systems are in proper working order. The system can pay for itself after just one pwer outage - compared with the costs associated with a flooded basement, spoiled food, or critical damage to electronics.

The continuous uncertainty brought on by more frequent power outages creates a greater need for back-up power. Minor power outages occur more frequently and are an inconvenience in today's fast paced living environment. The threat of long-term outages during storms provides even more reason to obtaining a strong, reliable, quiet source of alternative power. Kohler Power Boost Residential Back-Up Generators are THE choice for residential back-up generators.
