Extensive Power Requirements

† Due to the cycling nature of many of these devices, any KOHLER® generator you select may not run all of the appliances simultaneously. Check the manufacturers' specifications for actual power requirements. Consult a Kohler Power Systems Professional for your exact residential power system requirements. Professional installation required.

The new KOHLER 12 kW generator is the only generator in its class powerful enough to start and run a typical 4-ton (48,000 BTU) central air conditioner in the event of a power outage. Until now, a 17 kW or larger generator was required to run central air along with all other major appliances.
