20kW Kohler Whole-Home Generator Installed with Automatic Transfer Switch

Power outages don't send a warning. They hit in the middle of a storm, in the middle of the night, or right when you need your home running most. That's exactly why more homeowners are moving away from portable generators and investing in a permanent standby solution that just works - no extension cords, no manual startup, no guesswork.

We just wrapped up a 20kW Kohler standby generator installation with a full automatic transfer switch setup. That transfer switch is the part most people don't think about until they need it. The moment utility power drops, it detects the outage and signals the generator to kick on - automatically. The homeowner doesn't have to do a thing. Power is restored in seconds, not minutes.

At 20kW, this unit has the muscle to handle a whole home. We're talking HVAC, refrigerator, lights, well pump, security system - all of it running without compromise. Kohler builds these units tough, and when the installation is done right, they perform reliably for years with minimal maintenance. The concrete pad, the conduit runs, the transfer switch positioning - every piece of this install matters.

Standby generator installations aren't a one-size-fits-all job. Proper sizing, gas line connections, electrical integration, and local code compliance all have to be dialed in. That's where having an experienced team makes the difference between a system that performs flawlessly and one that lets you down when it counts most. We handle every part of it - from the initial assessment through final commissioning and testing.

If backup power has been on your radar, summer storm season is a solid reminder of why it's worth getting done sooner rather than later. We install, maintain, and repair whole-home generator systems, and we're here when you're ready to have a conversation about what makes sense for your home.
