Your home is a busy place. And a commercial-grade KOHLER® automatic residential generator keeps that rhythm going by providing dependable protection during unexpected power outages. Available with 8.5 to 100kW output capabilities, KOHLER® residential generators provide worry-free emergency power to support your electrical needs for days, or even weeks.
Kohler’s latest model of home generator, 18RES offers home owners more power in a compact size, and greater versatility when the lights go out:
- Powerful: Kohler’s exclusive PowerBoost technology allows the 18RES to start and run a typical 5-ton central air conditioner, while still running other home appliances.
- Sophisticated Power that surpasses IEEE standards for total harmonic distortion, providing stable power to your prized electronics.
- Quiet operation of the 18RES helps you maintain peace in your neighborhood
- Faster response time when the power goes out than the competitor (roughly 10 seconds)
- All the same high quality features you’ve come to expect from a Kohler power system.

The Kohler® standby power system features the:
• Generator
• Battery Charger
• Transfer Switch
• Distribution Panel
Clean, quiet, automatic backup power — just what your family needs to be safe and comfortable.
The KOHLER standby power system includes the generator, automatic transfer switch, battery charger and distribution panel.
The transfer switch is the brain of your KOHLER backup power system. It continually monitors the utility power for an interruption. 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... again, automatically, whether you're home or away.
Why KOHLER Power?
Automatic, hands-off operation
In the event of a utility power outage, the transfer switch - working in tandem with the generator - automatically starts the generator to restore power to the home, whether you're home or away.
• Fast backup power
KOHLER generators restore power within 10 seconds of an outage.
• Clean, digital power
KOHLER standby generators feature the industry's only true digital power and supply worry-free protection for even the most sophisticated home appliances and electronics.
• Quiet
New, sleek weather-resistant sound enclosures protect the unit from the year-round elements and keep operating noise at neighborly-friendly levels - at or below 65 dB(A), quieter than a typical vacuum cleaner.
• Power
The 12RES model is the only generator in its class powerful enough to start and run a typical 4-ton (48,000 BTU) central-air conditioner.
• Easy to service
Simple to use, the KOHLER Advanced Digital Control (ADC) shows readings on output, battery voltage, oil pressure, engine hours, run conditions and system fault conditions, while providing precision power and password-secure access (currently offered on units 8 kW to 30 kW). In the unlikely event service is required, it can often be provided over the phone.
• Easy to install
The 8.5kW and 12kW units are equipped with a built-in mounting pad for reduced installation time and cost.
• Natural gas or LP fuel
Unlike portable generators that need to be refueled and manually started, KOHLER generator sets are fueled by your home's existing fuel source - natural gas or liquid propane (LP).
• UL-Listed
All KOHLER standby residential generators are UL tested and listed to UL 2200 for your safety and protection. KOHLER automatic transfer switches are UL tested and listed to UL 1008.
• Reliable
All KOHLER generator sets and components are prototype tested, factory built and production tested.
• Performance
Slightly larger than the main distribution panel, the automatic transfer switch exercises the generator weekly to keep it performing at peak efficiency.
| 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 18 kw or larger generator was required to run central air along with all other major appliances. |
| Your KOHLER residential backup generator system can be sized and wired for your home in one of two power distribution scenarios:
Essential Loads Power Distribution This scenario supplies electrical power only to those devices you've pre-selected to receive power during a utility outage or power interruption. These devices are wired through a secondary, or essential loads, distribution panel. This allows a smaller generator to be used |

Examples of devices and appliances that may be considered essential are: Whole House Power Distribution |
