Why Choose Kohler?

Kohler RES Automatic Backup Generators

Kohler RES, RESA and RESL generators will deliver 8.5 to 30kW of emergency power, and can be run on either natural gas or propane (LP). The Advanced Digital Control (ADC) supplies the clean, pure sine wave power required by today’s most sophisticated appliances and computers. Kohlers exclusive PowerBoost technology provides greater motor starting capability for large loads such as central air conditioners while still running other home appliances and electronics.

Quick connections make installation easy and an integral mounting pad eliminates the need to pour a concrete slab. The quietest operating residential generator in its class, it is also one of the best-looking, with a smaller, attractive enclosure.

• Safer Power for Sensitive Electronics
• Quiet Operation
• Faster Response – Restores power in as little as 10 seconds
• Superior limited warranty – 5 year standard
• Designed for Easy Installation
• California Air Resources Board (CARB)-certified for both LP vapor and natural gas

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.
