Kohler 14RESA Automatic Backup Generator

$3,491.00 *MAPP Pricing – The sleek KOHLER 14RESA air-cooled generator gives you more power and greater versatility when the lights go out.  The 14RESA has all the qualities that have made Kohler home generators the most reliable and powerful systems in the industry – like fast response times and industry leading 5-Year or 2000 hour warranty – while incorporating higher power outputs, a 100% corrosive resistant housing, and quieter operation.

• Powerful: KOHLER’s exclusive PowerBoost technology allows the compact 14RES (and up) to start and run a typical 5-ton central air conditioner, while still running other home appliances.

• Unlike aluminum or steel enclosures, the bold new Kohler design is completely corrosion-proof, even in harsh seaside environments.

• Clean, quiet automatic operation helps you maintain peace in your neighborhood (63 to 67 dBA)

• 2-3x faster response time when the power goes out than the competitor (under 10 seconds).

• Can be run on either natural gas or propane (LP)

• Best-in-Class sophisticated power that surpasses IEEE standards for total harmonic distortion, providing stable power – the best generator power quality you can get to protect your prized electronics.

• Polymer installation base eliminates the need for a concrete mounting pad, reducing installation time and cost

• An industry-leading 5-year / 2000 hour warranty for grid-tie (standby) applications.  See specification sheets for details of Kohler’s 18–month warranty policy for off-grid (non-standby) applications.

Why Choose Kohler?

Dependable Utility and Solar Grid-Tie Back-up Power

When utility power goes out it is not just inconvenient, it can also impact your comfort and security, and may even cost you money. With a Kohler backup generator you can have dependable protection to keep your home or small business running smoothly during unexpected power outages, for days or even weeks.

Reliable Backup Power for Solar Off-Grid and Remote Locations

At Fire Mountain Solar we rely on standby generators – to keep our office running smoothly when there’s not enough solar or wind power to do so – and to provide many of our off-grid customers with the power they need. This type of service puts a generator to the test, because it can require frequent and extended run times. Reliability, dependability and ease of operation are critical in these situations, particularly when the system is in a remote location.

That’s why Kohler is the only brand of backup generator that we sell. Personally and professionally we have come to trust and depend on Kohler, because Kohler generators have proven themselves tough enough to last even under the most demanding conditions. And in those rare instances where we have needed to have a generator serviced, Kohler, and the wonderful folks at our local master distributor – Pacific Power Generation – have proven themselves again. We have complete and total confidence when we recommend Kohler generators.
