Our Kohler Standby Generator Installation Services

From site assessment to final startup, we provide everything your home needs for reliable Kohler standby power.

Generator Sizing & Selection

We assess your home's electrical load and recommend the right Kohler generator model to cover your essential circuits or whole-home needs, ensuring you never overpay for capacity you don't need.

Automatic Transfer Switch Installation

We install and wire a code-compliant automatic transfer switch that seamlessly disconnects your home from the grid and activates your Kohler generator within seconds of detecting an outage.

Generator-to-Panel Integration

Our licensed electricians handle all wiring between your new Kohler generator and your home's electrical panel, ensuring safe, code-compliant connections backed by a full workmanship warranty.

Fuel Line Coordination

We coordinate natural gas or propane fuel line connections with qualified gas contractors, ensuring your Kohler generator has a properly sized, dedicated fuel supply for reliable long-term operation.

Load Management Planning

We design a load management plan that prioritizes your critical circuits — HVAC, refrigeration, lighting, and medical equipment — so your Kohler generator delivers maximum efficiency during an outage.

Post-Installation Testing & Commissioning

After installation, we perform a full system test, simulate a utility outage, and walk you through your new Kohler generator's controls so you feel confident and prepared before we leave.
