A home backup generator is permanently installed outside your house (like an AC unit) and comes on automatically when the power is out — whether you’re home or away. They connect to your home’s natural gas or liquid propane system so there are no extension cords and no refueling with gasoline, just backup power when you need it most.

Severe weather is the single leading cause of power outages in the United States. The amount and severity of these outages has spiked dramatically over the past decade, causing physical, emotional and economic hardship for many Americans. Here is a look at the cost of power outages in the U.S., as well as some helpful tips on how to protect your home and family during the next big outage.
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?
A home generator plus installation can start at under $6,000. However, the total cost will vary substantially based on your power and installation needs.
When shopping standby home generators, your checklist should include generator size, costs, permits and installation. But don’t worry. Your KOHLER dealer will handle all the details, so you don’t have to.
