First things first, call the experts! This isn’t a DIY project. We’ll send a licensed electrician to your home or business to help you find the right generator size, fuel source, and installation locations for your generator and transfer switch. All installations are performed by State of Iowa Licensed Electricians who’ve completed the IBEW/NECA apprenticeship program.
Most installations take a day or two. We take care of it all and coordinate a team of licensed electricians and plumbers to make sure the job is done right.
The cost of installation will vary depending on how easy or difficult it is to install your fuel source (propane or natural gas). A simple installation can start at $2,000, but costs may increase based on your situation. Request a quote for the most accurate pricing estimate.
Yes. We handle local permits and ordinances so you don’t have to.
Step 1: A licensed electrician installs your transfer switch.
Step 2: Once the transfer switch is installed, the team gets your generator in place.
Step 3: We connect the electric lines from your transfer switch to your generator.
Step 4: When electricity is hooked up, your pipefitter makes the proper connections from the fuel source to the generator.
Step 5: After electricity and fuel are hooked up, your generator is ready to protect your home or business.
KOHLER generators automatically power your AC or heat, sump pump, and major appliances like your fridge and oven—all at the same time. Protect your sensitive electronics from erratic power surges.
Hospitals, nuclear power plants, and even the National Weather Service trust hard-working, long-lasting KOHLER generators.
All generators are covered by 5-year, 2,000-hour protection, plus a corrosive-proof enclosure that’s built to last.
KOHLER generators go through hundreds of performance tests to ensure total reliability.
During power outages, your generator’s commercial-grade engine is built to perform and withstand the outage.
Whether you’re at home, traveling, or on the go, you never have to worry about your home’s power. The KOHLER Energy Management App gives you peace of mind in the palm of your hand.
