What is a Power Boost generator and why do I need one?
A Kohler Power Boost Back-Up Generator is permanently installed outdoors, similar to an air-conditioning unit. It operates on your home or building's existing fuel source: natural gas or liquid propane (LP). The placement of the unit is dependant upon several factors, such as what you would like to power if the electricity goes out. Our factory trained experts perform an in-depth analysis of your home or facility, and then determine which system would work most effectively.
The KOHLER standby power system includes the generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS.) Several additional items are needed to complete the installation, but the generator and ATS are the main components. The ATS is the most important element of your KOHLER standby power system, as it is "the brains" of the system. The ATS continually monitors the flow of power from your utility supplier. If it senses an interruption or failure, the ATS automatically starts the generator, transfers electrical loads and restores power to your home. When utility power resumes, the ATS 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 power outage. Compare this with the costs associated with a flooded basement, spoiled food, or critical damage to electronics, and the purchase of a standby power system makes for a very smart decision.
With more frequent power outages in the Mid-Atlantic region, there is a greater need for back-up power. Minor power outages occur more frequently and are simply an inconvenience in today's fast paced living environment. However, the threat of long-term outages during storms provides even more reason to obtain a strong, reliable, quiet source of alternative power. Kohler Power Boost Back-Up Generators are THE choice for commercial and residential back-up generators.
