Kohler offers a complete line of home standby generators ranging from 8.5kW to 125kW.
Your selections require a generator capable of handling running watts and starting VA.
Your selections indicate that you will need a generator larger than 30kW.
Due the larger size requirements, we strongly suggest that you provide this output to one of the local
KOHLER Power Professionals. They will verify your needs and analyze the actual electrical load for your
home, then specify and install the proper KOHLER residential backup system.
In order to estimate your generator size requirement, please enter the square footage of your home, then select which appliances you would like to run during a power outage.
You may want to experiment by adding or removing significant and occasional appliances to see how it impacts the suggested generator size.
Please consider the output of this program to be an approximation. As always, the best way to determine your specific power needs is to consult one of the local KOHLER Power Professionals. They will analyze the actual electrical load for your home, then specify and install the proper KOHLER residential backup system.
