What’s a
commercial generator?
A standby commercial generator keeps your power on and your business open during an outage. It’s installed outside your business (like an AC unit) and comes on automatically — whether you’re open or closed. All within seconds of a power outage.
Plus commercial generators run on propane or natural gas, so there’s no refueling.

How it works
Good news, when the power goes out you won’t lift a finger. Take a look for yourself.

Meet the brains behind your home generator system. The ATS is always monitoring your home’s power.
During an outage, it automatically transfers power from the utility to your generator. And when utility power is restored, the ATS turns off your generator and returns your home’s power to the utility grid. Pretty great, huh?
How much is this going to cost?
A standby commercial generator with installation typically starts at under $6,000. However, the total cost will
vary based on your power and installation needs.
When shopping standby generators, your checklist should include generator size, cost, permits and
installation. But don’t worry. Your KOHLER
dealer will handle all the details, so you don’t have to.
