Kohler Standby Generators: What Homeowners Should Know

Air & Energy installs Kohler for new standby-generator projects and services all makes. This guide covers the equipment, transfer time, warranty, and dealer credentials behind that choice.

Equipment selected for the home

Kohler home-generator enclosures vary by model. Current models such as the 20RCA and 26RCA use aluminum, while others use coated steel. In coastal Manatee County, we account for salt exposure when selecting the model, siting the equipment, and planning maintenance.

Automatic backup

A properly installed Kohler standby system typically transfers the home to backup power within about 10 seconds. The right model and system design depend on the electrical loads you want backed up, the fuel supply, and the site.

Kohler's standard warranty

Every new Kohler home generator includes a five-year/2,000-hour warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, including parts, labor, and dealer travel. Qualification requires registration by a certified installer or dealer; the written warranty controls.

Air & Energy's Kohler credentials

As of August 2026, Air & Energy holds Kohler Titanium Dealer and Titan Certified status. We install Kohler and service all generator makes across Manatee County and our established northern Sarasota-area communities.
