Home Generator FAQs

The size of your new generator depends on several factors: the size of your home, how much of your home you want to power, and what installation entails. You can view the full Kohler Generator product line up here. Your Kohler dealer will also give you a recommendation during your free consultation.

We can provide MSRP prices for our generators and accessories, but the installation process varies from home to home. Factors that impact installation cost include:

• Your desired fuel source and whether you already have it running to your home

• Any local permits that are required for installation (your authorized KOHLER dealer will handle the permitting process)

• The location your generator will be installed at on your property (because of the many factors that impact installation costs, we are unable to give a complete quote without doing an evaluation of your home’s layout to determine where and how the generator will need to be installed)

KOHLER residential generators, including the engines, are designed and assembled in America. We source our components and parts from trusted suppliers all over the world, including many here in the U.S.A.

Kohler does not provide financing, but our dealers may. During your free consultation, we encourage you to ask your dealer about their financing options.

Our generators connect seamlessly to your home’s natural gas or liquid propane system. If you do not currently have natural gas service, you may have a liquid propane tank installed on your property for your generator.

Our generators are built to perform in all weather conditions, from hurricanes to blizzards. To ensure your generator functions properly, we recommend the use of cold weather accessories in regions where temperatures frequently fall or stay below 32°F. The best way to determine the accessories that would be most beneficial for you is to speak with your local KOHLER dealer. Click here to see the full Generator Accessories brochure.
